History of Opera Retreat
Return to the candle-lit world of the 17th, 18th, and 19th Centuries for a week-end at Teatro La Lupa, a traditional eight-sided log Hogan set on 10 acres of wooded land in the Zuni Mountains.

The History of Opera workshop will trace the development of Italian opera through audio and video selections from operas by Monteverdi, Rossini, Bellini, Donizetti, Verdi, Leoncavallo and Puccini from its beginnings in 1600 Florence to the end of the 1800s.

Prepare for a pre-industrial world of soft candle lighting and the warmth of a wood stove, but of no electricity and no running water (our TV and DVD will be powered by battery).
