Fill your day with looking, listening, and learning about German manuscripts and opera.

The day includes illustrated lectures by LA Opera’s own Richard Seaver Music Director James Conlon, Getty scholar Henrike Manuwald, and UCLA professor Mitchell Morris, as well as guided gallery tours, and a recital with piano and voice featuring pianist Catherine Miller, soprano Kathleen Roland, and tenor Robert MacNeil.
