I've been invited back by OperaBuffs of WNY to lecture during National Opera Week 2013! I'll be speaking on the pre-history of opera from its Greek antecedents, through Medieval music-drama (including a performance of HildegardOrdo Virtutum), ending in 17th century Florence and Venice. Joel S. Kumro, accompanist. Room 124, Rockwell Hall, Buffalo State College, 1300 Elmwood Ave. 14222
