'The Wartburg Opera Workshop performs excerpts from "The Duenna"—Richard Brinsley Sheridan's comic, romantic opera.

Wartburg Philosophical and Literary Society. The next meeting will be held Friday, April 12 at 4:00 pm in the Castle Room. The speakers will be Professors David Herwaldt and Brian Pfaltzgraff supported by several students. The title of their talk is 'The Wartburg Opera Workshop performs excerpts from "The Duenna"—Richard Brinsley Sheridan's comic, romantic opera.




> Dr. Herwaldt will introduce the performance by telling the story of Elizabeth Linley's and Sheridan's tumultuous romance (which inspired the opera) and how it was that Dr. Pfaltzgraff and his students revived an unfortunately neglected and nearly forgotten opera. Professor Herwaldt's talk will be illustrated with pictures by Thomas Gainsborough, Sir Thomas Lawrence, George Romney, and Joshua Reynolds—the greatest English painters of the late 1700s.
