Unites Arts Studies

Pairing some of the world’s great opera arias with masterpiece paintings, “United Arts Studies” hopes to convey the excitement of both opera and the visual arts, and kick off discussions on creativity and imagination.

Created during the pandemic, this completely free online series follows the story of two young opera singers who decide to enroll in an online art history course when they found themselves with some sudden free time. Hoping to entice lovers of the arts as well as novices to opera to enjoy the endless variety of these great human achievements, each episode contains a lesson about a painter and one or two composers, with discussions interspersed with the performance of operatic arias.
