Rigoletto Opera Insights: Unraveling misogyny, gender-based violence, and domestic abuse

We invite you to a thought-provoking panel discussion that delves into Verdi’s timeless opera, Rigoletto, through a critical modern-day perspective: domestic and sexual abuse. As we unravel the intricate layers of misogyny and gender based violence in this opera, we will be joined by prominent voices from local domestic abuse advocacy organization Sarah’s Inn, as well as nationally renowned Chicago based arts organization A Long Walk Home, whose goal is to end violence against girls and women. This discussion will be moderated by Lyric Unlimited Scholar In Residence, Dr. Antonio C. Cuyler.

Where: Oak Park Public Library-Main Branch (834  Lake, Oak Park, IL)
When: Tuesday September 10th. Doors open at 6:30 PM and the event will begin at 7:00 PM.
