28.xi.16 | Show No. 50 | Pre-party, after-party!
It's a special podcast-only show! Let the swearing begin!\n\nIn \u2018Chalk Talk\u2019, George and Oliver take a look at those events that happen before and after an opera performance: pre-show lectures, post-show discussions and, as seen last Sunday night at LA Opera, after-parties. Do they add to the experience or do they distract from the main event...?\n\nThen, you get all your opera headlines and our hot takes on them in \u2018The Two Minute Drill\u2019...\n\nPlus, \u2018Monday Evening Quarterback\u2019 returns, when we review the new production of \u201cLes Troyens\u201d, by Hector Berlioz, at Lyric Opera of Chicago. Mega hit or epic fail? We\u2019ll tell you what we think...\n\nAnd you tell us what you think! @operaboxscore #operaballs
