OperaNow‪!‬ Michael Rice

I’m pretty new to opera, and I would totally recommend this podcast to anyone else who was in the same place. It’s informative and educational, but most importantly it proves that opera is not boring, stodgy or old-fashioned. The hosts don’t put things on pedestals and ‘revere’ them from a polite distance — they question conventions, poke fun at stereotypes and discuss difficult topics with hilarious honesty. Anyway, listen to it. Even if you don’t like opera. You probably will afterwards.

I've been a fan of this podcast for going on 4 years now. Their energy, dedication, humour and unwillingness to temper their opinions and hilariously inappropriate jokes make this entertaining for anyone interested not just in opera, but music in general. Long may they reign - they make my week!

Love this show, it is the best! It is always the first podcast I listen to. Oliver's corner is super, I'm a huge fan. And it is so cool that you share a bit of your lives with us, too. I missed you guys over the summer, so thanks for putting on lots of shows now, despite your busy lives!
