The value of beautiful classical music has moved mankind through the ages, but the taste of those who enjoy it has always changed. For that reason, there is definitely a trend in how to appreciate classical music, and in the present era, we have our unique tastes and interpretation. Opera is the flower of comprehensive art unfolding on stage. At first glance, it feels complicated and difficult, but in fact, opera contains universal human stories, so even a few key points exert the magic that makes anyone fall into the work. This course proposes an easy and practical way to appreciate our own opera, based on experience in numerous theaters and various video materials. Join us in the genuine life story told by opera and the world of Europe’s historic humanities.
