With the Met’s 2018–19 season opening with Saint-Saëns’s sumptuous Samson et Dalila, what better way to start our Opera Boot Camp offerings than with an introduction to French opera? In this four-part course, resident Opera Boot Camp instructor Naomi Barrettara offers both newcomers and seasoned operagoers a fun and fascinating exploration of this season’s French operatic masterpieces.
Part 2: Georges Bizet and His Posthumous Successes While Bizet’s Carmen and Les Pêcheurs de Perles are popular today, neither received widespread recognition until after the composer’s death. In this second session, we explore the life, times, and music of Georges Bizet, as well as the performance history behind his two posthumous successes.
