Opera Previews- A Masked Ball

Sandra Riggins, Neighbor

A Masked Ball by Giuseppe Verdi

Mad knights, murderous clowns, magic potions, regicide - opera isn't meant to be humdrum. And the 14th season of Opera previews is anything but! Beginning with the composer and his music, Professor Ron Shaheen looks at the historic background, style, story and setting, fabled performers and special attributes of each of San Diego Opera's 2014 productions. With photos, videos and recordings to enhance his engaging explorations, Ron's lighthearted, jargon-free approach offers insights for both longtime opera buffs and curious newcomers.
