[@ 5 min] Alright, this week…music critic Anne Midgette goes Inside the Huddle. As the co-author of the article that launched Classical Music’s #metoo movement in 2018 AND as the former music critic of the Washington Post, today’s guest is uniquely qualified to comment on just about everything we care about on this podcast. Next month, Anne Midgette is a guest speaker for the Jussi Bjorling Society’s webinar “The Myth of Park and Bark,” so in addition to asking her about the Kennedy Center and what we should do with all of our Domingo recordings, we’ll talk about acting for singers too!

[@ 47 min] Plus, in the ‘Two Minute Drill’…Tom Cruise has to wash his hair, Ben Folds is not really into North Korea vibes, and we warned you, Peter Gelb.

透明感と力強さを兼ね備えた玲奈の舞台を包み込む、壮麗なオペラ曲「Luce Divina」
建築現場で「女神」と呼ばれ始めた彼女の心の揺らぎを、ベルカント唱法の響きで丁寧に表現しました
荘厳なオーケストラと教会のような残響が、神聖でありながら人間らしい玲奈の姿を浮かび上がらせます
まるで高嶺の花に手を伸ばすような、聴く人の胸を震わせる一曲です

"Le Trompette de Monsieur le Prince" (The Prince's Trumpeter), a one-act opéra-comique by François Bazin (1816–1878), premiered in Paris on 15 May 1846. The story takes place in 17th century France, during the civil wars known as "Le Fronde". The prince's trumpeter and the sounds of war are lightly depicted in this spirited overture, another unknown gem.

World premiere recording. The orchestral realization was created using Finale 27 and NotePerformer 4.
