NEW EP ALERT!!!!!!!

We are so excited to share this awesome convo we had with a couple of members of the Black Opera Alliance Leadership Council. Zyda Culpepper reached out to us earlier this year to acknowledge our previous BOA episode and to suggest that the next time we talk about the org, we have some members on the pod. She was totally right and this convo blossomed and bloomed.

We discussed what the BOA has been up to in the past few years, responses to their pledge, and reflections on the ebbs and flows of operatic activism. The convo spun into a larger discussion on the operatic canon, the ways in which white singers can start showing up for their Black colleagues. and so much more. We left this episode feeling thankful and excited for BOA’s continued impact on the operatic landscape. Included in this episode is Zyda Culpepper, Garrett Mcqueen, and James Dargan.
