Legion of Boomy Bass-Baritones! ft. Denyce Graves

Guest panelist Benjamin R. Sokol joins OBS to handicap the big game between New England and Seattle, the best way we know how — by comparing the team’s hometown opera companies! Then Denyce Graves takes a Free Throw on portraying opera’s strongest and most powerful women while being a vulnerable human being with a tender heart.

In the Two-Minute Drill, Amanda Forsythe, Janai Brugger, and Jake Heggie enjoy their OBS Bump at the Grammys, the dismantling of the John F. Kennedy memorial is almost complete, Opera America releases it’s 2025 Field Report, Minnesota Opera will not be deterred, and audiences will not tolerate a Turandot without “Nessun dorma.”
