By Kiersten HayPosted in The Big COC PodcastBy Gianmarco Segato, Adult Programs Manager
For Episode 29, the “Oldies but Goodies” edition, we welcome back Opera Canada editor, Wayne Gooding; opera journalist Paula Citron; and, opera blogger John Gilks. Gianmarco Segato, the COC’s Adult Programs Manager is your host. This week we’re hot on the trail of the latest developments to several ongoing opera stories:
- ● That old bugbear, “just what do singers get paid, anyway?” returns, just as the MET and Welsh National Opera ask their singers to take a pay cut
- ● Trouble still brewing at Rome Opera… but now, they may *not* fire their orchestra and chorus after all…
- ● Funding cuts force English National Opera to cancel Orfeo at Bristol’s Old Vic – the first production in 15 years that would have taken them out of London
- ● Short attention span? We have just the short opera for you!
- ● BONUS: live reviews of the MET’s Death of Klinghoffer, “Opera Luminata” and UofT Opera’s Last Days
