Some of our shows include pre- or post-show discussions, and you are invited to participate. Each discussion explores the fascinating details of the history, practice, biography, and cultural issues of the program. In these free, enriching presentations, acclaimed artists, knowledgeable educators, and/or scholars provide aesthetic, historical, and social context. We hope they bring you greater enjoyment and understanding of the performance. Admission is free to all event ticket holders. See the schedule below for dates and times.
