Defend the Don (Giovanni)!
ft. Jonathan Cohen
The OBS team handicaps this year’s AFC and NFC conference championships. Which of the final four cities are the best opera towns, and who deserves the right to sing the last phrase of Nessun dorma? Then, Jonathan Cohen takes a Free Throw on performance practice in Baroque opera (Oliver swoons!).
In the Two Minute Drill, ENO musicians vote to strike, Opera Parallèle presents Balls, the NY Times adds six more items to the #Callas100 countdown, AI pens an opera, Jonas Kaufmann honors a footballer, and the team pays tribute to P.D.Q. Bach and Ewa Podleś.
Vintage Ewa Podleś. Spoczywaj w pokoju.
