In this seminar we will combine lecture, discussion, listening, and viewing of opera productions which depict different aspects of "violence" against women. We will utilize seven well-known operas from a wide variety of periods and styles to illuminate how opera is uniquely suited to addressing this particular issue. The operas will include The Marriage of Figaro, La Traviata, Carmen, Madama Butterfly, Street Scene, The Rape of Lucretia, and Susannah.
