Imagine learning Italian through opera. L'italiano con l'opera:
Lingua, cultura e conversazione is a book that can help students do
just that. Designed to supplement intermediate level programs, the
book is rich enough to be used in courses emphasizing language,
conversation, and/or culture. Six operas are examined: Il barbiere
di Siviglia, La Boheme, Pagliacci, Otello, Tosca, and La traviata.
L'italiano con l'opera offers serious fun for students,
familiarizing them with great operas through discussion of
well-known characters, plots, settings, themes, criticism, and
interpretation while they acquire vocabulary, accuracy, and
fluency.
Each richly detailed opera unit contains many interactive
speaking activities, reading comprehension, contemporary
vocabulary, grammar, and writing activities as well as a section
focusing on a specific aria or duet. Students are encouraged to
tell stories, interpret characters, express and react to opinions,
use appropriate vocabulary, and analyze themes using modern
Italian. The book includes recommended lists of high-quality opera
recordings on videocassette, DVD, audiotape, and CD. Units of study
are designed to be used with excerpts from English-subtitled opera
videos or DVDs.
