Embark on a riveting journey with The Opera Glasses Podcast as we host the magnificent Canadian baritone Elliot Madore, who opens up about the nuances of embodying roles in both contemporary and time-honoured operas. Elliot unveils the behind-the-scenes magic of collaborating with composer Matthew Aucoin for his role in Eurydice (Boston Lyric Opera) and contrasts this with his most recent performances with Edmonton Opera in the title role of their Don Giovanni.
He reflects on his long career to-date: the challenges of sustaining a career in opera, and what has given him the focus, and continued drive to deliver consistently fantastic performances.
This conversation delves into Elliot's growing Identity project which explores his own identity in collaboration with creatives including Canadian director Joel Ivany, composer Dinuk Wijeratne and acclaimed poet Shauntay Grant. This project signals the evolving dialogue within the opera community, inviting listeners to contemplate the transformative power of the Performing Arts.
