Established in 1994, THE COURSE offers exciting and innovative lectures in the History of Art, Literature, Music and Opera.

In Cultural Capitals (Budapest, Buenos Aires, Chicago, Lisbon and Monte Carlo, among the world’s most exciting and glamorous cities) Patrick Bade will explore the cultural life of these cities in periods when they were “hot”. He will take a broad view, examining architecture, visual arts, music and performing arts, social life, fashion, food and shopping.

 

LISBON

With its elegant 18th century centre, framed by two mountains, crowned by a ruined monastery and a Moorish castle, Lisbon has the most spectacularly theatrical setting of any European capital, and a rich and highly distinctive cultural and architectural heritage.
