Opera 101—Plots in 101 Words or Less* In honor of my late mother, who always wanted to teach a class in what she called “cocktail party culture” (this was before the heyday of “cultural literacy”) and because the subject came up recent…

First of all, you can’t really go wrong with any of the so-called warhorses. I give fun summaries of the plots of the ten most performed operas in the first two posts of my “Opera Plots in 101 Words or Less” series (and, no, that should not be fewer). #OperaSky

Dylan shouting out Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht is cool as fuck (I sing a lot of Kurt Weill, including Pirate Jenny, accompanying myself on cello).

Would love to see Timmy and Pirate Jenny in a cagefight, actually. He'd be dragged out in a trashbag.

If you're interested in opera but suspect the official story is a bit too tidy, definitely give it a read. Not nostalgia, not doom-scrolling, just a lucid inside account of how the art form and industry really works #BookSky #OperaSky

We were down in #thatLondon yesterday for Phelim (@openspacer.bsky.social) McDermott's 1950s Coney Island boardwalk staging of Così fan tutte and it was, frankly, spectacular. It will be back at the Met for the 26-27 season and a hard recommend from me! #OperaSky

Happy UK release day to Opera Wars! Let's celebrate with a massive book review in the London Times, shall we? 😱

"Vincent is at her most evocative — in a gloomy way — in describing the jobbing opera singer’s lot, or 'near constant rejection.'”
