  • Entertaining, informative, but not stuffy

    Opera is a wonderful, sometimes amazing art form. But learning about it can sometimes seem like doing homework.

    Not with this podcast though. This is great for learning about Opera in general, and for learning about Opera current events. The people involved are knowledgeable, but don’t take themselves too seriously. It’s informative, but also fun.
