About the event
We're thrilled to have Patricia Hurley in the shop to talk about her recently released book, Viva Opera! A Journey Through Italy, published by Fraser Books. RNZ Concert Presenter Clarissa Dunn will be chairing the conversation.
Viva Opera! brings together Patricia Hurley’s life-long love of Italian opera, language, literature, places and people together with the desire to take readers and travellers on an enriching journey, to enhance their experience of this great art form along with the understanding of Italy and the Italians and how it all came about.
Patricia will be answering audience questions and book signing.
All welcome!
