Opera on Record
by Jack Gardner
Welcome to Opera on Record Ever wondered how legendary roles have evolved over a century of sound? In Opera on Record, we take you on an immersive journey across time—tracing iconic operatic roles from the pioneer recording artists of the late 19th century all the way to today's modern stars. Opera is a living tradition. For generations, vocal nuances and master secrets were passed down only through word of mouth or worn sheet music. But with the invention of the gramophone, history shifted: the composer's true intent was captured in wax, vinyl, and digital tracks. Join us as we uncover timeless musical choices, shifting audience tastes, and the fascinating evolution of the operatic voice. Tune in and discover how the art of singing continues to reinvent itself! Uploads Mondays, bi-weekly
