The Tom Waits Fach! | 22.v.17
Returning to the OBS are stage director Amy Stebbins and composer Hauke Berheide, so you know this episode's discussions are going to be intelligent, thoughtful and informed. Hey, sometimes change is good...\n\nFirst, we go \u2018Inside the Huddle\u2019 and talk about what shows Amy and Hauke have seen recently, as well as catching up on what sorts of projects they\u2019re working on now...\n\nThen, it\u2019s \u2018Chalk Talk\u2019: recently, there\u2019ve been extensive debates about race, gender and \u2018equal opportunity\u2019 casting in standard repertoire operas. Tonight we go one step further and discuss casting decisions made by librettists and composers of new works, and how modern categories like \u2018realism\u2019 and \u2018authenticity\u2019 have put limits on how the distinctions between role, body, and voice are utilized...\n\nAnd of course you get all your opera headlines and our hot takes on them in the \u2018Two Minute Drill\u2019...\n\noperaboxscore.com\n@operaboxscore
