May 27, 2024 - Anthony Roth Costanzo and Diana Dizoglio

Today on The Culture Show it’s 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 and Octave Apart”Now Anthony Roth Costanzo is performing it all–from cantatas to camp, in a one-man recital that ranges from Verdi to Barbra Streisand. From there,  will the Grammys ever create a category for best song recorded by a state auditor? If so, Diana Dizoglio’s newly mastered release “This Is The Time” could be a winner. The auditor joins The Culture Show  to talk about her relationship to music and how singing has made her voice known –and heard–on Beacon Hill.
