Humanities on the Hill: Screening & Panel Discussion (POPPAEA)

November 4 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Poster for "POPPAEA" – a screening of Michael Hersch's opera at Johns Hopkins University, presented by the Alexander Grass Humanities Institute as part of the "Humanities on the Hill" series. The event features a panel discussion with Michael Hersch, Ah Young Hong, Virginia Jewiss, Jennifer Stager, and Abraham Stoll. Review quotes highlight the opera’s "uncompromising lucidity" (The New York Times), "shocks and touches in equal measure" (Österreichischer Rundfunk), and "masterly modernist music of implacable seriousness" (The New Yorker). The background shows dramatic imagery from the opera performance, including intense colors and expressive gestures. Event details: November 4, 2025, at 6:00 PM, Hopkins Bloomberg Center, 555 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC. Free and open to the public, scan to register.
