Had Carmen and Don Jose attended couple's therapy, Don Giovanni addressed his sexual addiction or Madama Butterfly taken an antidepressant, they might have lived more healthily, but their operas would be unthinkable.
Opera is predicated on extreme emotions and mental unhinging, which the audience views at a safe distance. But for a local group of psychologists, psychiatrists and therapists, opera offers a vibrant entry point for discussion of real life.
For the fourth year, the Pittsburgh Psychoanalytic Society and Institute will use a Pittsburgh Opera production as a starting point for a program investigating a specific human behavior. Puccini's "Tosca" is the pick, inspiring the April 1 program "Crimes of Passion," with lectures examining the phenomena of women who murder their abusing spouses.

On average, 60 professionals have attended each of the programs, approved by the American Psychological Association, with a viewing of the opera capping the event. Previous topics have included revenge ("Elektra"); the retribution ("Dead Man Walking"); and professional ethics ("Faust").
