Cincinnati Opera and the Outreach Program partner together for an exciting new project: a series of 6 lectures for a brand new course at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute in Cincinnati, during the Spring Term 2023. From May 3rd to June 7th, Graduate Student Cecilia Cozzi and singers of the Cincinnati Opera will joint forces to show how human characters (both in Greek tragedy and live opera) deal with all the complex emotions of our inner life and discuss how each art form confronts its audience with dangerous questions and open dilemmas. Each lecture will be at the UC Victory Parkway Campus and feature the combination of dramatic readings from Greek tragedy with different live performances, provided by the Cincinnati Opera.
The collaboration between the Cincinnati Outreach program and the CSO resumes. For the first time after the pandemic, the Outreach program will return at the Cincinnati Music Hall for the famous "Pre-concert-talks" Series. Mark your calendar: on March 17th and 18th at 6 p.m., graduate student Cecilia Cozzi will join assistant director Daniel Wiley for a conversation on the fascinating Sirens in the Odyssey, preparing the audience for the following subscription concert, "The Mermaid." Special Discount codes to UC students and faculty will be soon provided for both performances. Stay tuned!
Use the correct online form for each application (see the links above). The deadline for applications is March 1, 2023.

Faculty member Kelly Shannon-Henderson with Jeopardy! host Ken Jennings
UC Classics' very own Kelly Shannon-Henderson appeared as a contestant on Jeopardy! on Tuesday, September 20, 2022. After navigating a multi-stage selection process, Dr. Shannon-Henderson got the call this summer offering her a spot on the show, and traveled to Los Angeles to film. "I'd wanted to be on Jeopardy! ever since I was a kid," she said, "so it was hugely exciting and a great privilege to get the chance to do so. Being a contestant was a fantastic experience."
