Whether you are completely new to opera, or simply curious to find out more about this uniquely beautiful artform our 'Behind the Curtain' presentation is for you. This brand new special event has been created for Tour 2016 to provide a behind-the-scenes exploration of what goes into putting an opera on stage, while at the same time demystifying opera itself with an inspirational look at Don Giovanni, one of our touring operas this season. Paul Rissmann is a passionate and unique music presenter who has hosted Classics Unwrapped for BBC Radio Scotland and a critically acclaimed series of music discovery concerts for adults called Naked Classics. He will introduce you to the key elements of opera culminating in an extended excerpt from Act II of Don Giovanni - demonstrating how opera's unique combination of music and words powerfully explores every human emotion.
