It's starting to get cold in Sydney. Ayako Ohtake, a Sydney-based Japanese soprano singer, has selected a song from an opera that truly captures the spirit of winter. This piece was composed by A. Catalani, a highly talented and significant composer often overshadowed by Puccini. On the radio, we'll be presenting it sung by Maria Callas, one of the greatest divas in the history of opera. Ayako hosts monthly music segment called VIVA! Opera for SBS Japanese. - 寒くなってきたシドニー。冬らしいオペラから、様々なディーヴァたちによって歌い継がれてきた名曲を取り上げました。天才プッチーニと同世代でその陰にかくれがちですが、才能あふれる重要な作曲家カタラーニの作品です。

The concept of memento mori—remembering that we are mortal—is often viewed as morbid or macabre. But for those who embrace it, acknowledging the brevity of life isn't about dwelling on the end; it's about celebrating every single moment we have.In this episode, I share a very personal journey that has been years in the making: the process of choosing a final resting place and designing a gravestone for my mother, my husband David, and myself. From the historic hills of Oakland's Mountain View Cemetery to the granite peaks of the Sierra Nevadas, this story is about more than just logistics—it's about values, intentionality, and the peace that comes with being prepared.Whether it's establishing a plan for companion animals or choosing local, sustainable materials for a memorial, we explore how end-of-life decisions are ultimately for the living. It is a gift of clarity for those we leave behind and a final opportunity to express the passions—from wildlife gardening to music—that define our “one wild and precious life.”In this episode you will learn:* How acknowledging our “expiry date” can lead to a more joyful, grateful, and purposeful daily life.* Why having wills, trusts, and even “house-sitter instructions” for death makes the grieving process easier for survivors.* The environmental differences between traditional fire-based cremation and “green” water-based alkaline hydrolysis.* Why we moved away from a remote “green forest” burial in favor of a historic, local cemetery we visit and love.* My six-year journey to overcome the “paralysis” of designing a memorial and why we chose native California granite over imported stone.* A sneak peek into the symbols and inscriptions—from Puccini lyrics to Mary Oliver quotes—that will represent our lives and our loves.* How having a physical resting place helped navigate the difficult ritual of mourning during the 2020 lockdowns.

Hoy vamos a hacernos una pregunta incómoda: si estos grandes artistas vivieran hoy, en la era de la cancelación, ¿los seguiríamos celebrando igual? ¿Podemos separar al artista de su obra o ya no? Porque admirar el talento también implica confrontar la historia y no siempre es cómoda, recibimos a Gerardo Kleinburg, escritor, crítico y promotor musical para hablar sobre este tema.

Mimì is one of opera's most beloved heroines. Gentle. Luminous. Dying beautifully in a Parisian garret while the orchestra swells around her.She was also, in Henri Murger's source novel, a fickle, materialistic flirt her lover described as being "wedded to a thunderstorm." A gadabout. Complicated. Inconvenient. Not particularly easy to mourn.Puccini made a decision. You've been feeling the consequences ever since.In this episode, host Ashley Daniel Foot sits down with Vancouver Opera's researcher and editor Jane Potter — the creative force behind our composer series for the past three years — to pull apart the opera everyone thinks they know. They cover the missing act that explains Rodolfo's jealous rage. The real woman Puccini erased to create his heroine. The two source characters — Francine and Mademoiselle Mimì — whose DNA got merged into the figure we recognize. The Viscount nobody talks about.They also go deep on Kevin Ng's essay Beautiful Deaths: How La Bohème Transformed Tuberculosis into Art — tracking how consumption went from epidemic catastrophe to aristocratic beauty standard, from Lord Byron to Rent to Moulin Rouge!, and how Puccini wrote the disease's physical reality directly into the music itself.Plus: the 1896 premiere critics who called it "a momentary error" and suggested Puccini return to the straight road before further damage was done. The audience that sold out 24 performances that same month. And Benjamin Britten, who in 1951 delivered the greatest backhanded opera critique of the 20th century.La Bohème runs April 25 through May 3 at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre. Tickets at vancouveropera.ca. Kevin Ng's essay Beautiful Deaths is available now on the Inside Vancouver Opera Substack.

In the 5 Things to Know podcast, we break down the essential ideas behind great operas—five quick insights that unlock the story, the music, and why it still matters today.In this episode, assistant director Gregory Luis Boyle joins us to explore Turandot, the final masterpiece of Giacomo Puccini. Opening on April 25, 2026—exactly 100 years to the day after its world premiere—this centennial production revisits one of the world's most iconic operas, featuring the unforgettable aria “Nessun dorma.”This bold new production moves beyond tradition to focus on themes of power, violence, and agency. Set within a striking, abstract world inspired by Bauhaus design, the stage becomes a living puzzle—where Turandot's three riddles are reflected symbolically in the visual language. The result is a fantasy landscape where larger-than-life ideas are expressed through music, movement, and design.For nearly a century, one question has lingered: how should Turandot end? When Puccini died before completing the opera, he left that final transformation unresolved. This production takes on that challenge directly, offering a newly reimagined conclusion drawn from Puccini's own music—an ending that is bold, powerful, and thought-provoking. Whether you're new to opera or returning to this legendary work, these five insights will change the way you experience Turandot.Turandot April 25–May 3, 2026 Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre The Atlanta Opera

The American writer Rachel Eliza Griffiths creates poetry that resonates with music: she writes about her mother cleaning the house while ‘Pavarotti trembled across the terse sunlight of every room.'As well as poetry, she's written a novel, and her most recent book is a memoir called The Flower Bearers. It deals with loss, including the sudden death of her closest friend. She received the news on what should have been the happiest of days – her marriage to the writer Salman Rushdie. And less than a year later, she found herself beside his hospital bed after the knife attack which nearly claimed his life.But this is no misery memoir – there is the joy of finding her voice as a young poet in New York in the 90s, the strength she gains from the writers who have paved the way, and the music that travels with her.Eliza's music choices include music by Schumann, Bach, Puccini and Nina Simone.

A recent investigation by the Gulf States Newsroom's Drew Hawkins found that dozens of elected officials in Louisiana have signed nondisclosure agreements related to large-scale developments, including the Amazon data centers in northwest Louisiana. The announcement caught many by surprise. Critics say the agreements keep communities in the dark.Hawkins joins us for an update in his reporting. The Artemis II rocket is making its way back from the far side of the moon after a mission where astronauts traveled the furthest ever distance from earth. As it turns out, a piece of Louisiana has been traveling with them. Part of the rocket was made at the Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans, and more than forty Michoud employees traveled to the Kennedy space center last week to watch the rocket launch. Back in July of 2024, we heard from Chandler Sheuermann, a NASA engineer based at Michoud, about Louisiana's contributions to the Artemis II. We'll revisit the discussion.On Saturday, Opéra Louisiane, will present a performance of Puccini's “Madama Butterfly” to the River Center in Baton Rouge. The show will feature Metropolitan Opera soprano Teresa Perrotta.Opéra Louisiane's general director, Paul Groves, tells us more about bringing world-class operas to the capital city. —Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Adam Vos.

Hello, fans and listeners! I am “Óut of the Office” for the next two weeks, hence the tongue-in-cheek title of this episode, the first of four recycled potpourri episodes bringing you four records issued on the pirate label Historical Recordings Enterprises in the 1970s. Two of them (including today's) feature great sopranos of that era, and two of them celebrate “ten top tenors” each. A few years ago, David was preparing to downsize to a new apartment in NYC and one of my tasks was to go through his LPs. In doing so, I discovered the two soprano volumes. Low impact, perhaps, in terms of my prep level, but high calorie in terms of content! Here are some of the greatest sopranos of the 1970s (and earlier) in incendiary live performances which will leave you gasping for air (at least I was!) Included are such favorites of the Opera Queens (of whatever persuasion or orientation) as Montserrat Caballé, Leyla Gencer, Magda Olivero, Renata Scotto, and Beverly Sills in addition to such personal favorites of mine as Ileana Cotrubaș, Sylvia Sass, and Gilda Cruz-Romo. Many of these singers have been featured on their own spotlight episodes on Countermelody but the performances featured here are typical of the pirate releases of the 1970s, rare material in sometimes spotty sound but representing these sopranos at their thrilling best. There's a lot of Verdi, but also some Puccini, Donizetti, and even Mozart. All told a thrilling and rare collection which I am thrilled to share with my pals as I step away from the mic for a couple weeks! Countermelody is the podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing. By clicking on the following link (https://linktr.ee/CountermelodyPodcast) you can find the dedicated Countermelody website which contains additional content including artist photos and episode setlists. The link will also take you to Countermelody's Patreon page, where you can pledge your monthly or yearly support at whatever level you can afford.  

The soprano, Elsa Dreisig, has just released a new Erato album, 'Invocation'.

James Jolly talked to Elsa Dreisig in Naples, where she was in rehearsals for Puccini's La bohème in which she was singing the role of Mimì.    Today's podcast is sponsored by Kirker Holidays, creators of short breaks and tailor-made holidays for curious, discerning travellers to cultural destinations throughout Europe and beyond.

L’incipit di Obiettivo Salute risveglio arriva dalle note immortali di “Nessun dorma” dalla Turandot di Puccini, un’aria che racconta di enigmi e notti insonni. Ma le notti senza sonno non appartengono solo all’opera: fanno parte anche della nostra vita quotidiana, quando restiamo svegli per lavoro, studio o per i pensieri che non ci lasciano riposare.Cosa succede davvero al nostro cervello quando dormiamo poco, o non dormiamo affatto? Ne parliamo con il professor Roberto Manfredini, direttore della Clinica Medica Universitaria di Ferrara esperto di sonno e ritmi circadiani.

Ultime chef-d'œuvre de Puccini, Turandot puise ses racines dans des contes très anciens, et qui révèlent des aspects subtils de la psyché humaine.    Plongez dans l'histoire des grands personnages et des évènements marquants qui ont façonné notre monde ! Avec enthousiasme et talent, Franck Ferrand vous révèle les coulisses de l'histoire avec un grand H, entre mystères, secrets et épisodes méconnus : un cadeau pour les amoureux du passé, de la préhistoire à l'histoire contemporaine.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Milano, 1946. La guerra è finita da poco, le ferite sono ancora aperte, ma il Teatro alla Scala risorge dalle macerie. Questo episodio ci porta dentro una sera irripetibile: l'11 maggio, quando i milanesi si radunano per ascoltare l'Opera che torna a risuonare, risvegliando la vita. Liliana, diciotto anni, protagonista della nostra storia, assapora una Milano povera ma ostinata, che si riconosce di nuovo nella sua “gente”. Toscanini dirige, Verdi e Puccini si diffondono nelle piazze e nelle vie del centro. Non è solo un concerto: è un gesto di riscatto, un inno collettivo, il momento esatto in cui, dopo tanto dolore e tanta sofferenza, si ricomincia a cantare. Learn more about your ad choices.

Jonathan Larson's Rent premiered at the New York Theatre Workshop on January 26, 1996. The modern rock-opera take on Puccini's La Boheme instantly captivated critics and audiences alike, bringing much-needed attention to the devastating AIDS crisis, inner-city class warfare, drug addition, and featuring bold and unabashed queer characters and storylines.

SynopsisOpera fanatics are a passionate lot. “It's an addiction,” they say. “Something to die for.” Now, if opera is an addiction, then today's date marks the birthdate of an Italian composer who might be described as the ultimate operatic gateway drug. We're talking, of course, about Giacomo Antonio Domenico Michele Secondo Maria Puccini, who was born in Lucca, in 1858. Puccini is the composer of three of the most popular operas ever written: La Bohème (in 1896), Tosca (in 1900), and Madama Butterfly (in 1904).Puccini lived and worked during the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th, and his music brilliantly blended the gorgeous melodies of the 19th century Italian bel canto tradition with the raw, often brutal dramatics of the emerging verismo, or “realism” theatrics of the 20th century. Unlike 19th century operas, when time stands still while a soprano sings how happy (or miserable) she is, in Puccini's operas time always moves on, often relentlessly as the action hurls toward the, usually, unhappy ending, when the soprano dies of consumption, throws herself off a castle tower, or dies by ritual suicide with a Japanese dagger.After all, Puccini's operas really are “something to die for.”Music Played in Today's ProgramGiacomo Puccini (1858-1924): “Pinkerton's Farewell” and “The Death Of Butterfly” from Madama Butterfly; Kostelanetz Orchestra; Andre Kostelanetz, conductor; Columbia MDK 46285

In this second episode of "Opera in the Community," musicologist Dr. Tiffany Kuo uses the lens of "La Bohème" to speak with three arts leaders and artist advocates —Asuka Hisa, who walks us through the exhibits at ICA LA; Mackenzie Royce, who shares about the affordable housing and work space rental programs at ArtShare LA; and artist Fatima Burns, who talks about the importance of having a safe place to create. Dr. Kuo shows us that although times can still be tough for the creative class, we've come a long way from the starving artist days of "La Bohème" to having robust institutional support for artists, right here in Los Angeles.
