James J. McClain of American University outlined the evolution of opera from Greek drama to modern Romantic works at a Women's Club luncheon. He traced operas through recitatives to the 18th century virtuoso display, noted Mozart and Beethoven as limited by form, and highlighted Gluck and Weber for bringing vitality and realism.
