The Indie Opera Podcast

Share on

Opera does not just happen with the big guys, the future of opera is happening now in small opera companies with independent producers. Named one of the “The Must-Listen Podcasts for Opera and Classical Music Fans” by Playbill, one of Opera Wire’s “5 Opera Podcasts You Should Be Listening To”, one of the top classical music podcasts by ARTaxMusic.com, and brianwise.com, the Indie Opera Podcast is the place to go to for news about where opera is headed. We focus on companies that are creating new operas and who are presenting the classics in new ways for wider audiences, no matter how big or small.

Peter Szep, Brooke Larimer, Ashley Renee Watkins, Chuck Sachs and Walker Lewis
