Meeting/Event Description
Lyric Opera of Chicago invites you to a thought-provoking panel discussion that delves into Verdi’s timeless opera, Rigoletto, through a critical modern-day perspective: domestic and sexual abuse. As we unravel the intricate layers of misogyny and gender based violence in this opera, we will be joined by prominent voices from local domestic abuse advocacy organization Sarah’s Inn, as well as nationally renowned Chicago based arts organization A Long Walk Home, whose goal is to end violence against girls and women. This discussion will be moderated by Lyric Opera of Chicago's Scholar in Residence, Dr. Antonio Cuyler and is FREE to the public.
Doors open for seating at 6:30pm.
Event begins at 7:00pm.
