The pharaoh of the opera. Countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo has made a name for himself starring in the MET’s production of Akhenaten – earning a Grammy award along the way. He’s also figuratively found his voice and the freedom to have fun by collaborating with cabaret performer Justin Vivian Bond in their hit performance and accompanying album, “Only an Octave Apart.” Now Anthony Roth Costanzo is bringing it all to Boston –from cantatas to camp, in an upcoming Celebrity Series recital that ranges from Verdi to Barbra Streisand. From there, it’s flour power. James Beard Award winning chef Joanne Chang joins us to dish on all things baking. And the winner of the Moby Dick Marathon is….. Herman Melville. Who else could inspire hundreds of people to read aloud for 25 consecutive hours? Edgar B. Herwick III joins us for a recap of this epic undertaking.
