May 10, 2008  The Opera League’s final seminar of the 2007-2008 season was an outstanding presentation of Opera.  Dr. Michael Hackett presented an interesting parallel between Tosca and the mythologies of Apollo and Dionysius.  Dr. Allan Edmison then introduced long time opera aficionado as well as an enthusiastic supporter of the League, Miss Victoria Hillebrand.  “Vickie” was personal secretary for many years to the legenday opera diva, Dorothy Kirsten.  With her memories of Miss Kirsten’s career as well as a wonderful video sequence prepared by Dr. Edmison, our seminar attendees spent an enjoyable morning at the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion.
