Opera Plot Happy Hour

A podcast: Tina (Opera Singer IRL) gives the plot of an Opera to Amanda (Human IRL) and they ruin it for everyone.

@guan Thanks! We did too!

The primary crime of the first two operas we've discussed this #nopevember has been #orientalism. Check out Tina's theory on the 3 major Orientalist Types in Opera (click the image)

@apschneider ooh gauntlet thrown

[Opera Plot Happy Hour @operaplothappy]

@apschneider interesting - probably, as I'm assuming Tina uses English Wiki and not Italian wiki when doing her synopses ;)

Anyone else really bored with watching money and complacency be the reason no one with power can do better? Anyone? Bueller? ⁠

@apschneider honestly, maybe my memory is bad, but even in #nopevember i'm hard pressed to think of any cancel-worthy themes in Pirates... it's just pure silliness and I love it. Will check out Les Brigands for sure!

This #nopevember, and especially if you've been historically #triggered by #cancelculture in the arts, be sure to listen to the voices of ppl who have the most reason to speak up about it.

In which Tina tells Amanda about the 4 operas she feels LEAST deserve programming in 2021. Suggestions welcome! Which operas should we #cancel this month?

Oh hey! #onthisday in 1787 was the #premier of Mozart's #DonGiovanni! We're not sure what's spookier, The Commendatore's ghost, dragging Don G to hell for being such a dick, or how big a dick Don G was.

Had SO MUCH FUN talking about #composer Kevin Puts' #opera #elizabethcree last week - if you haven't checked out Episode 47 head to our website. Very on-brand #mystery #thriller for #spookyseason.

@MadriduserF @PlacidoDomingo yeah weird, I wonder why you're not seeing more Placido... maybe some shit went down?

Has anyone watched any of this new series on @Netflix? We've been on such a Dracula/Vampire kick, so now inquiring minds must know... Tell us your thoughts in the comments, arm chair critics, we're here for it.
