Season 4, Ep. 3 - Ken Cazan, Director, and John Baril, Conductor - BILLY BUDD

This summer is a very special summer at Central City Opera, and that's because we are producing the Colorado premiere of Benjamin Britten's grand opera Billy Budd. On this episode, I talk with the production's director, Ken Cazan, and conductor, John Baril. What a conversation. Ken and John unpack the drama, music, the opera's significant to this company and to the operatic canon, interpretation and emotional impact, and so much more.   Have questions or want to provide feedback?
