From the movie Farinelli, the famous castrato singer of the 18th century, one of the greatest artists in the history of opera.

Do Italians always sing? No, but they certainly enjoy music and love!

• Do you want to bring your Italian knowledge to a superior level?

• Do you want to explore the idea of 'what is love'?

• What about the myth of the Latin lover and the charm of the Italian woman?

• What is 'il fascino'?

• What happens after people get married and 'live happily ever after'?

• How can we enhance our relationships?

Mozart and Lorenzo da Ponte explored the most interesting aspects of love and seduction. Verdi and Puccini highlighted the most powerful feelings of love. Rossini and Baroque Opera give us the light feeling of daily courtship and Hollywood comedies.

'The Opera of Love - Italian Coaching Program' develops through the analysis of the most famous operas and addresses millenary questions about love and life.

You don't have to be an opera lover to enjoy this program but certainly, at the end of it, you'll love and understand opera.

Practice the Italian language and culture and explore the theme of love and how Italian opera can help you to enhance the quality of your life and relationships.
