This is such a wonderful podcast! I have been an opera fan for 40+ years and with a very wide range. Just discovered Opera for Everyone and am going back to listen to back episodes. Have learned so much! Operas I wasn’t familiar with (The Wreckers!) and old favorites. Just the right level of depth and context by knowledgeable, fun hosts making opera truly accessible and completely enjoyable. One quibble would be one episode for The Ring. Seriously!?!?
I love the team Pat-Keely. The wisdom of Pat and the curiosity of Keely make the show educational and funny. I love opera and I have not hear or see many of them. Than you for the show, Rosa from a little town (Live Oak) in California
As a life long opera fan, I don’t really find this podcast accessible and wouldn’t recommend it to a neophyte. Aria Code is a much more accessible intro to opera. The sound quality is not great and the discussions the hosts and guests get into are often pedantic. They get sidetracked too often and go on tangents where they make guesses about the backstory, music, and history—I often fast forward through their ditsy conversations and just listen to the music. The dynamic of the hosts in the ear... more
The gentlest, most beautiful podcast that is basically people talking enthusiastically and accessibly about something they love and want you to love too.
Great show. Learned, witty, and beautiful. Thanks a lot!
