Grand Rounds: A Study of Mood Disorders in The Phantom of the Opera

Join us for a special Grand Rounds event, presenting Andrew Lloyd Weber's The Phantom of the Opera as a fictional case study of mood disorders.

Ms. Udine will be accompanied on piano by Shawen M. Ilaria, MD, chief resident, psychiatry.
