Included in the price of admission to the Exploratorium

Physicist and Composer Dr. Brian Holmes and Soprano Sheri Greenawald,
Director of the San Francisco Opera Center

Explore how the art and science of singing combine in opera. How do
opera singers sing loud enough to be heard over an orchestra? Can an
opera singer's voice really break a wine glass? What's the difference
between a baritone and a soprano? Discover the answers to these
questions - and more - in this presentation for the whole family.
This event is the latest in a string of collaborations between the
Exploratorium and the San Francisco Opera, prompted by the staging of
Dr. Atomic.
