Opera

UntitledThis week on Three Tune Tuesday, we raise the curtain on a genre often dismissed as dusty and elitist — but trust us, opera’s got bite. We're diving into arias that hit like pop ballads, thrill like thrillers, and joke like vaudeville. You’ll hear: John McCormack’s tender take on Puccini’s La Bohème — a poet’s love story set in bohemian Paris. Enrico Caruso’s swaggering rendition of La donna è mobile — a courtly banger full of charm and cynicism. Titta Ruffo’s show-stopping Largo al factotum — the operatic equivalent of shotgunning an espresso and winking at the camera. These recordings are over 100 years old, but the drama, flair, and emotion still ring out loud and clear. So whether you're new to opera or just like your tenors vintage, come join us for a little love, a little betrayal, and a lot of vibrato.
