Episode description

Happy New Year!  This week, enjoy a Replay of some of our favorite segments of 2025!

[@ 2 min] First up, from August, a 'Chalk Talk' on the history of Grammy winning operas and singers...If you had to guess who had more nominations, would you say Leontyne Price or Kathleen Battle?

[@ 32 min] Then, we go Inside the Huddle with Michael Spyres! When he joined us in February, the latest volume of Opera Rara’s Donizetti Song Project had just dropped. Now we are looking forward to his Tristan, opposite Friend of the Show (and mother of twins!) Lise Davidsen.

[@ 47 min] Plus, in a segment that was supposed to be about what makes opera high art vs. audience-friendly fare, the team comes to the defense of operas we enjoy listening to...regardless of their reputation amongst *serious* opera fans.
