The Signature Series

Boston Lyric Opera and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston present the Signature Series, a lively one-hour exploration of the operas in BLO’s Season. Each program in the Series focuses on one opera and employs a different art form including film, visual arts, theater and music to highlight a theme in the opera.

Thank you to everyone who attended and made the inaugural season of the Signature Series such a success! We hope you’ll join us next season for:

"Vissi d’arte" La Tosca and Sarah Bernhardt

"I live for art" The fascinating, glamorous and appropriately dramatic life of the legendary actress Sarah Bernhardt told through her letters, diaries, photographs, recordings of her own voice and historic film clips. Arias from operas based on plays that provided her with her most famous roles—Tosca, Ernani, Cleopatre, Le Cid and, yes, Hamlet—complete a picture of this most “operatic” of actresses. BLO’s own Tosca, Jill Gardner, joins opera legend Joyce Castle for this theatrical and musical look at the Puccini opera and the “Divine Sarah.”
