Welcome and what's on in December

We want to let you know about our fantastic monthly programme
Tuesday 13th December at Westbury Fields, Paul Foss will be treating  us to a musical evening on the violinist, singer and composer Maestro Guglielmo Balfi (better known to us in the English speaking world as Michael William Balfe).  He was a fascinating and talented man spending much of his working life in Italy and wrote a great deal of beautiful music much of which is sadly neglected(with musical illustration).
SEE 2016-17 PROGRAMME PAGE FOR DETAILS of January and later celebrated national speakers through to May. If you live near Cheltenham they also have a programme. Bristol University Italian  Department also has an open postgraduate seminar series.. - see Links Page .

Bristol Italian prototype website

existing BristolAnglo-Italian Circle BA-IC website is now locked but this website can be reached from it 
Last April's :
“Lorenzo Da Ponte – Mozart’s librettist” - Tim Davidson  see Ba-ic Programme page for full details. Just a Utube taster of Da Ponte's Cosi Fan Tutte for now.
Tim’s talk focused upon Lorenzo Da Ponte’s extraordinary life and career and in particular his collaboration, as librettist, with Mozart in the latter’s three great Italian operas, ‘The Marriage of Figaro’, ‘Don Giovanni’ and ‘Cosi Fan Tutte’ from which extracts were played.
