Join us for Aida, the Met & Leontyne Price, a live conversation that looks afresh at the Met's landmark production of Aida, hosted by Dartmouth musicologist Prof. Steve Swayne and student Chris Bacotti '20. Swayne is beloved for his warm, insightful teaching on opera in the classroom, at alumni events and through his popular online courses on Italian and German opera. 

Directly after the talk on Friday, the Met Opera streams a free telecast of a 1985 performance of Verdi's Aida starring Leontyne Price—the uncontested "owner" of the lead role of the Egyptian princess—in her farewell operatic performance.  

Part of the Hop@Home series.
