Opera - We love singing

Arts & Culture Podcasts

Music, and more particularly singing is always with us. A certain day we may find ourselves moody and with a melody from La forza del destino playing over and over again in our head. Or maybe we feel like a superhero as we've doing great at work and then we feel like Calaf solving the 3 riddles that Turandot has proposed. First, we would like to build a place where we can talk about our passion for singing in a positive way. There is already too much of those toxic places where we criticize endlessly the minimum error of a given singer. We need more places where we can be respectful and still express our differences, as art is perception and no one perceives art equally to one another.Our second proposal is to come and share, both Katia and I are pretty sure there are a million questions you have always asked yourself about singing and as singers are sometimes not the most approachable people, well we hope can answers some of those questions!! We'd be glad to receive your comments at operawelovesinging@gmail.com

Dissecting...O mio babbino caro

5/5/2024
In this season we are reviewing the most popular arias of all times. Who doesn't know this aria from Giani Schicchi by Maestro Puccini? By far, one of the most beautiful melodies ever written for the soprano voice. There is no soprano who doesn't have it in her repertoire. In this season we talk about the author, and we analyze the aria from a technical vocal point of view as well as the interpretation based on the situation the character is going through.

Maria Callas Centennial Program 5

4/5/2024
Author of the Callas Imprint - Sophia Lambton joins us to talk about this book she released this December 2023. A lot has been said about Maria Callas, many authors have recycled the information on her, a good number of those books are poor in content and rich in speculations. Many of those books also are rich in sharing personal anecdotes of hers with the only purpose of making lots of money. Because, besides being a great artist, she was a money-making machine, which many continue to exploit in so many ways. But Maria was a human like everyone else, with faults and qualities that are maximized in one way or another to prove one's personal perspective on hers. We invite you to this conversation on. Should you feel interested in getting a copy of the book: https://www.amazon.com/Callas-Imprint-Centennial-Biography-ebook/dp/B0BRYPL5WN You can always check our page in Ko-fi where we are posting more content related to the program and ourselves.
