from Opera Offstage · host Opera Offstage

What do rats, outer space, and a Carmen who doesn't die have in common? They are all ways people have tried to update classic operas for the modern era! Today we talk about the trend of trying to modernize some of our most famous operas, for better or for worse. And it DOES get worse. We discuss everything from slight changes in location to completely changing the ending of shows and all the craziness in between. So join us as we take a trip through the wild world of modernized opera! Follow Us: Instagram Twitter Facebook Hosts: Jessie Michelle
