For Pride Month, Kip talks online about LGBTQ+ Characters in Opera
Gay opera fans are a commonplace phenomenon, as are LGBTQ people working in opera. But what about gay characters in opera? San Francisco Opera’s Dramaturg Emeritus Kip Cranna will use video and audio examples to explore the hidden, hinted and overtly LGBT characters in the opera repertoire and how they have been portrayed and received, from the 17th century to the present day.

Presented by Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI), Dominican University
Opera is full of grand and passionate heroines who—contrary to the stereotype of the tragic operatic victim—bravely overcome their obstacles and don’t die! San Francisco Opera’s Dramaturg Emeritus Kip Cranna will use video examples (with English subtitles) to explore the fascinating heroism of intrepid female characters through the centuries in the multi-faceted world of opera: women who valiantly face their challenges, defy the odds, and emerge triumphant, all amid the sounds of glorious music and impassioned singing.
The course will streamed live on Zoom. You will need the Zoom app on your computer or phone in order to view it.
