Humanities West presents Cleopatra: The Last Pharaoh, a lecture and performance series bringing to life one of history's most intriguing women. More than two millennia after her death, Cleopatra remains an enigma and an object of fascination. Amassing enormous wealth and power, Cleopatra lived dangerously and died sensationally. A panel of noted scholars and acclaimed Bay Area performers celebrate her rich legacy.
Presenters include Stacy Schiff (Pulitzer Prize-winning author), Susan Stephens (Stanford), Lisa Pieraccini (Berkeley), and Robert Gurval (UCLA); performers are Sara Duchovnay (soprano), Mariya Kaganskaya (soprano), Andrew Wang (piano) and Steven Harmon (French horn).
