Giacomo Puccini's La Bohème

March 2 (Sunday) 1:00pm

La Bohème, the passionate, timeless, and indelible story of love among young artists in Paris, can stake its claim as the world’s most popular opera. It has a marvelous ability to make a powerful first impression and to reveal unsuspected treasures after dozens of hearings. At first glance, La Bohème is the definitive depiction of the joys and sorrows of love and loss; on closer inspection, it reveals the deep emotional significance hidden in the trivial things.

Spring 2025

Antologia del Cinema Italiano: Anthology of Italian Cinema

Four-Part Series

March 5 (Wednesday) 6:30pm– 9:30pm

This is a 4-part Italian Film Study Course.

(March 5, March 19, April 2, April 16).

Tasting of regional foods, wine, and coffee. In the mid-1950s, classic Italian filmmaking was largely distinguished by a gradual transition away from the unadorned but socially conscious realism of the postwar Neorealist movement. The attention of filmmakers shifted to individuals caught up in existential questions and their own inner drama. The auspicious arrival of such groundbreaking directors like Federico Fellini and Michelangelo Antonioni signaled an innovative and daring direction toward a more complex cinema.

La Commedia di Dante in Italiano ON ZOOM 2025

March 11 and 25 (Tuesdays) 11:30am–12:30pm EST

Meetings are twice monthly for one hour and conducted entirely in Italian. We are currently working on Cantos XVII and XVIII of Purgatorio. Amore is the focus and the group will engage in close study of Guido Cavalcanti’s “Donna me prega” in its effort to understand Dante’s vision of love.

Dante in Italiano is sponsored by Società Dante Alighieri of New York City Inc. The group is dedicated to studying the entire Divina Commedia and has been meeting since January 2018. Each canto is read aloud in the original, then translated/paraphrased into standard Italian as we discuss the text and related commentary. The pace is relaxed with some cantos taking two sessions and others three or more. No deadlines. No rush. We are serious readers but this is not an academic program. Our Lectura Dantis is designed for lovers of Dante and the Italian language. Everyone, of all ages and backgrounds, is welcome to join. Members of the academic, visual arts, music/opera and publishing communities are particularly welcome. The Commedia reading group requires sufficient fluency to read and speak standard Italian. If you are interested in joining Dante in Italiano, please send an email with your phone number and a good time to call to danteinitalianonyc@yahoo.com We will get back to you quickly with the link to join the discussion. Admission is free.
