Opera Omaha Launches Virtual Prelude Talks
By David SalazarOpera Omaha has launched a number of online activities and events for its opera community. Among them are Prelude Talks, a series of chats revolving around the Metropolitan Opera’s nightly streams.
The Virtual Prelude talks will feature a number of opera companies providing free 20-minute talks presented on Facebook Live just before every Sunday night’s Met opera stream. Talks are estimated to star around 5:30 p.m. CT / 6:30 p.m. ET. There will also be a live Q & A session following every chat. Opera Omaha will maintain the event on its website for 20 hours thereafter.
The next opera that will be the focus of a Virtual Prelude Talk will be Bellini’s “Norma,” featuring Dr. Nicolas Reveles, the former Director of Engagement at the San Diego Opera.
