Humanities West presents Etruscan Italy: Life and Afterlife, a two-day program of lectures, discussions, and musical performance exploring the rich cultural contributions of Etruscan society in architecture, politics, engineering, and art.
A panel of noted scholars takes the audience on a journey back in time to Etruscan Italy, between the 8th and 2nd century BCE, to celebrate a sophisticated and wealthy people, whose vibrant past is revealed through their material culture, as discovered in tombs, temples, habitation sites, and more. This program examines the Etruscans as major contributors to some of Western civilization's greatest achievements in architecture, engineering, politics and art, and offers new perspectives and insights to broaden our understanding and demystify Etruscan life and afterlife.
Presenters include Lisa C. Pieraccini (UC Berkeley), Ingrid Edlund-Berry (University of Texas), Christopher Hallett (UC Berkeley), and Alexandra Carpino (Northern Arizona University).
The program includes a special opera performance of highlights from Benjamin Britten's The Rape of Lucretia, introduced by Clifford 'Kip' Cranna (Dramaturg Emeritus, SF Opera) featuring Hope Briggs (soprano), Eugene Brancoveanu (baritone), and Christopher Colmenero (tenor), with Chantal Grybas (mezzo-soprano) singing the title role, accompanied by Kevin Korth (piano).
