b'Stage director Amy Stebbins and composer Hauke Berheide are working on a new piece for children called \\u201cEinar hat einen Vogel\\u201d. They talk about what you need to remember when you\\u2019re writing for kids. And some picky critics tackle Dean Burry\\u2019s opera for children \\u201cThe Scorpions\\u2019 Sting\\u201d, which was at Lyric Unlimited here in Chicago last weekend...\\n\\nBut first, Amy and Hauke update you on what\\u2019s happening in opera in German-speaking Europe, including details on some important changes of artistic leadership that have taken place in the past year, including the promotion of several women at major German and Austrian houses...\\n\\nAnd then, it\\u2019s \\u2018Monday Evening Quarterback\\u2019 with creative consultant Oliver Camacho.
