This term, we shall study the moderators’ favorite Verdi operas: "Don Carlo", "Otello," and "Falstaff". You will learn something about the composer and view the operas on DVD complete with subtitles. Your opinions of the operas and the performers are encouraged. If time allows, we shall discuss the upcoming Cincinnati Opera season.

Moderators: Richard Goetz, PhD, is a retired research manager from the chemical industry who has been listening to, studying, and attending opera since 1949. Steve DeHoff is the principal trumpet for the Cincinnati Community Orchestra and a long-time opera fan.
