Cinema and opera collide in this exciting new event, featuring a multimedia talk by opera director Chuck Hudson, and a performance by FWOpera-TCU Hattie Mae Lesley Apprentice Artist Bronwyn White.

Hudson will discuss the cinematic inspiration for his critically acclaimed production of Donizetti’s 19th-century comedy, followed by a Q&A, and a thrilling operatic performance by soprano Bronwyn White.
