The Birth of Opera
0.050mDecember 20, 2015
Gener retells the origin of opera and compares it to a metaphoric pregnancy. He guides explaining a double journey: the life journey of a future baby and Opera's "journey" to Florence and Mantua, through the history of music, of its evolution and gestation, until it gives birth to a genre as universal as the one of being human.
