George’s Last Dance
ft. Javier Camarena
In George Cederquist‘s final at-bat, the team shares greatest moments from the OBS podcast founder’s nine years as lead host. (Drink!) Then Javier Camarena takes a Free Throw on singing Verdi as the Mexican tenor is set to make his Lyric Opera of Chicago debut as the Duke in Rigoletto.
In the Two Minute Drill, Angela Gheorgiu wants to make sure you understand the difference between a performance and a recital, a certain octogenarian is not ready to retire, and the new opera about a fighter-pilot arrives 45 minutes faster. Plus, Good Calls for Yuval Sharon’s anti-elitism, Huw Montague Rendall’s new solo album, and Raison d’Etre Opera.
They really don’t deserve the clicks.
