Straight Out of the Box! ft. Anne Midgette
Anne Midgette goes Inside the Huddle. As the co-author of the exposé that launched classical music’s #metoo movement and the former music critic of the Washington Post, she is uniquely qualified to comment on the state of opera journalism, the takeover of the Kennedy Center, and how we should consider Operalia. Next month, Anne Midgette is a guest speaker for the webinar The Myth of Park and Bark presented by the Jussi Björling Society.
In the Two-Minute Drill, “classical” musicians are shut out of this year’s otherwise queer-coded Kennedy Center honors and some musicians feel pressured to drink (while others just like it). Plus, a Good Call for German Diction Camp and the artistic director of the Salzburg Whitsun Festival.
