When was the last time you went to the ballet or opera?

from The Conversation Hour · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

Actor Timothée Chalamet went viral over the weekend for his comments dismissing the ballet and opera, in this edition of The Conversation Hour we talk to the Australian Contemporary Opera Company about keeping opera relevant. But before that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are headed to Melbourne, we talk what is behind the visit and discuss what sort of interest the visit might garner locally. Plus later in the hour, do we need a national strategy to promote women in sport? And we also talk what support is available to people with a disability navigating the justice system.
