Lit Hum at the Opera | Giuseppe Gerbino, Professor of Music, Historical Musicology, and Department Vice Chair

The role of individuals in society, the desire to overcome human mortality, the nature of reality as we know it are recurring themes in the intellectual journey that shapes the Core Curriculum. They cross historical, cultural, and geographical borders, as well as disciplinary boundaries, as they find expression in literature, philosophy, music, and the visual arts. In what is one of its most distinctive and exciting features, the Core asks students to explore the complexity of the human experience across the full range of its linguistic and artistic manifestations.

In this class, alumni will join Professor Giuseppe Gerbino, Professor of Music, Historical Musicology, and Department Vice Chair, in delving into the intertwined powers of literary fiction and musical expression. This is what happens when Literature Humanities goes to the opera.
