Many composers have contributed to this body of work\, among them Bizet and the much loved Puccini. However\, bestriding the world of opera in the second half of this century like twin colossi\, are the towering figures of Richard Wagner and Giuseppe Verdi\, both born in 1813. It is Verdi who will be the subject of our attention and affection in this class. Verdi might justifiably be considered the very soul of opera. Join us as we explore the works of this great creative genius from the raw power of his early masterpiece “Nabucco\,” through the impassioned middle-period works such as “La Traviata\,” to the monumental later works like “Don Carlos” and “Aida.” \nRegistration Below: URL:https://www.phillyjcc.com/event/gems-bucks-county-the-great-giuseppe-verdi-with-gary-kaplan/ LOCATION:Shir Ami\, 101 Richboro Rd\, Newtown\, PA\, 18940\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.phillyjcc.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/iStock-1299364271.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Gems":MAILTO:gems@phillyjcc.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20231214T111500 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20231214T121500 DTSTAMP:20260530T170124 CREATED:20231115T180547Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231115T190610Z UID:10000251-1702552500-1702556100@www.phillyjcc.com SUMMARY:Gems Bucks County | Brains and Balance Past 60™ with Bob Fischer DESCRIPTION:Gems Bucks County Events Located at Shir Ami – 101 Richboro Road\, Newtown\, PA \n Instructor: Bob Fischer\, Owner of i50fit\, Personal Fitness Trainer\, Certified Nutrition Counselor \nThe Brains and Balance Past 60™ workshop is designed for the unique needs of active older adults who know the importance of staying mentally sharp and physically stable.
