b"On tonight\\u2019s show, we tackle the nastiest four-letter word in Operaland: \\u201cdiva\\u201d. We break down what the word really means, examine what defines the stereotypical diva, and ask if such types really exist in opera today.\\n\\nThen, George brings you this week's need-to-know opera headlines, while Oliver rocks you with our Pop Quiz. Since the Metropolitan Opera is about to broadcast Richard Strauss\\u2019s \\u201cElektra\\u201d live in HD, we\\u2019re jumping on the bandwagon. Just by listening, can you identify which operas are by Strauss and which ones aren't?\\n\\nJoin us for America's talk radio show about opera!"
