Born in Lucca, Italy and steeped in operatic tradition, Giacomo
Puccini created operas that showcased a brilliance that made him a worthy
successor to Verdi. In his talk, Professor Gil Harel will analyze the
celebrated opera Madama Butterfly (1904), one of Puccini's most famous works. The
Italian opera tells the story of B.F. Pinkerton (American) who marries
Cio-Cio-san (Japanese). The result is a sublime score filled with worldly
influences, pentatonic music, and rich melodies that frame a heartbreaking story
of love, betrayal, and hope smashed asunder. 
Gil Harel (PhD, Brandeis University) is an award-winning
musicologist and composer whose interests include styles ranging from western
art music to contemporary musical theater. He is Full Professor of Music at CT
State Naugatuck Valley, where he conducts the college chorale, a cappella
ensemble, teaches music history and theory, and serves as musical director of
theater productions.

Actor, director and producer Griffin Dunne will visit New Canaan
Library to speak about his searing family memoir, The Friday Afternoon Club.
The memoir has been called "warm and perceptive" by The
New York Times, and in turn, it is brimming with tragedy, irony and wit.
Seeped in Irish American heritage, and populated with the larger-than life
characters he grew up with, this wide-ranging tale explores what happens when
fame-tinged families are torn apart -- and stitched back together. 
Dunne, who found fame on screen in hits such as After Hours,
has also produced films such as Practical Magic, and a documentary on
his aunt Joan Didion titled The Center Will Not Hold, as well as
tackling roles in popular TV series such as This is Us and Succession.
