    [@ 4 min] Alright, this week…Andrzej Filończyk goes Inside the Huddle as he is set to return to the Met for the limited bonus run of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay beginning next week.

[@ 37 min] Then, it's the return of the 90’s divas starring Mariah Carey, Cecilia Bartoli, and … Ricky Martin!

The American Heldentenor had a breakout year in 2025, coming to international attention singing Captain Vere in the Story of Billy Budd at Aix-en-Provence, followed by an unscheduled role debut as Parsifal at Flanders Opera. Listen for the exact moment when Oliver falls in love…I promise you can hear Oliver’s heart break wide open, and its strange because we know he doesn’t even like Wagner operas. [@ 34 min] Then, tenor Zachary Wilder takes a Free Throw on being an American in the elite realm of historical performance practice in France! The baroque specialist has a brand new album that weaves together Klezmer, musical theater, jazz, opera, and art song called 'Brooklyn Suite.'  [@ 48 min] And to complete our tenor three-pointer, Anthony Leon returns to take a Free Throw on singing Mozart! León makes his Lyric Opera of Chicago debut in 'Cosi fan tutte' next month. [@ 59 min] Plus, in the ‘Two Minute Drill’…was there any way to know that the Saudi Arabian government can’t be trusted?
