I have loved opera since I was a young child. I love getting to learn more or learn new perspective about arias and operas I have listened to for decades and getting to discover and learn about arias I have never heard before. I especially appreciate the guests who put the arias in both their historical and modern social contexts. Truly a wonderful podcast.
Apple Podcasts5V_FarmUnited States8 months ago - A True Gem of a Podcast
I am so grateful for this podcast! My grandfather was an opera singer and I always felt distanced from his work because I didn’t know how to understand and relate to it. I wish he were still alive for this, because aria code has made me appreciate operas in ways I didn’t think possible! It’s brilliantly done, and makes opera feel approachable. I recommend it to everyone!

So authentic. Artform made accessible.
If you knew nothing of opera this -every episode- would be a door wide open. Play in the hallways of public schools and perhaps congress? Art leads.
Apple Podcasts5ccshatzUnited Statesa year ago - Entertaining but too shallow sometimes
Overall enjoyed it as a very light hearted and entertaining way to know more operas. The approach is okay for most works sampled in the podcast, but I was quite disappointed in how shallowly some profound works were discussed. Additionally, some guests were talking about things or experiences not at all or only tangibly related to the opera and used it as opportunity to state controversial moral views as facts, which I didn’t enjoy at all.
