Mellon Collie and the Anthropocene! ft. Nathan Granner
Nathan Granner goes Inside the Huddle to recount his operatic portrayal of Bobby Riggs, the tennis player best known for the “Battle of the Sexes” match against Billie Jean King. The American tenor, who is featured on two new recordings, is set to star in Paul Moravec and Mark Campbell’s The Shining at Portland Opera. In a Home Team story, Lyric Opera of Chicago announces their new season, which includes Renée Fleming and music from The Smashing Pumpkins…but not in the same performance.

Plus, a Good Call for a French cellist who donates funds from his American concerts to President Zelensky’s United24 Foundation.
