Persis Parshall Vehar, Canisius College composer-in-residence, presents part two of her lecture “The Making of an Opera,” on Thursday, February 25 at 2:30 p.m. in the Montante Cultural Center. This session will focus on Vehar’s fifth opera, Eleanor Roosevelt, with scenes from Act 2 shown from the developmental premiere in July 2009 by the Lake George Opera at Saratoga in the Saratoga Performing Arts Center. The typical comedic role for bass singer and a “mad” scene for tenor will be analyzed as well as the final chorus’ singing of the “Universal Declaration of Human Rights.” All are welcome to attend.
