An opera podcast where the sacred is subjective. Every other week, host Olivia Giovetti is joined by a guest who is just as obsessed with opera (including singers, composers, and critics) to discuss one work in-depth and ask the simple question: Is it actually great?

  1. I Puritani with Aksel Tollåli

    I Puritani with Aksel Tollåli

    Sometimes, we can have nice things. Like a bel canto opera where, despite the mad scene stretching across all three acts, the stakes are low, the Fs are high, and everyone is happy at the end.  Musicologist and critic Aksel Tollåli joins us to discuss a lovely opera about a lovely soprano and her lovely mental breakdown. Topics include Risorgimento chauvinism, opera's girlhood era, Lee Pace as Vincenzo Bellini, and operas whose entire plots would be resolved if the characters had just one (1) conversation.  Follow Aksel on Instagram and Bluesky. Full playlist, reading list, and synopsis of I Puritani.

  2. Der Rosenkavalier with Ben Miller

    Der Rosenkavalier with Ben Miller

    Time, nostalgia, and very fancy lesbians? It must be Der Rosenkavalier. Writer, historian, and co-host of Bad Gays Ben Miller joins us for a discussion of Richard Strauss’s four-and-a-half hour work of where both nothing happens and everything happens. Topics include: whether Rosenkavalier is a comedy or tragedy, the Viennese aristocracy, opera queens and mezzosexuals, the “German she-devil” who sued the Met (and won), and one of opera’s most problematic characters.

  3. Carmen with Nikola Printz

    Carmen with Nikola Printz

    On Episode 1 of Decanonized, mezzo-soprano Nikola Printz joins us to discuss what many consider to be the greatest opera: Georges Bizet's Carmen (1875). Topics include fate, othering, hating cops, whether Carmen really has to die, why Don José would make the worst camping partner, and the dream blunt rotation of Alexander Chee, Tank Girl, and Susan McClary. For this episode, we saw Carmen live in Berlin via an organ trafficking-coded production by Ole Anders Tandberg at the Deutsche Oper, so bonus digressions on kidney harvesting and bull testicles!
