On this episode, I talk to my friends from the Queer Communist Book Club, Zoë (she/her) and Tom (he/him) about Alban Berg's opera Wozzeck. This is the story of a soldier in the early 1900s working to support his family all the while being tormented by his superiors and increasingly disturbing halllucinations. We discuss the ways in which impoverished communities and individuals lose autonomy over their decisions, the #FreeBritney movement, how the nuclear family gets in the way of developing community, and much more.
Stay tuned for a show announcement at the end of the episode: Opera Apero is going on a summer vacation and there's a fun assignment!
