Join us at the Prescott Community Center for a dynamic opera education series centered around the Live from the Met in HD broadcasts. Before each broadcast, participants will receive background on the featured opera, its composer, story, and production elements to enhance the viewing experience. Following each screening, the group will gather for a guided reflection and discussion, providing space to share impressions, unpack themes, and deepen understanding. This welcoming, interactive series is a wonderful way to explore the richness of opera and connect with fellow enthusiasts.
