Opera Chats Podcast

On our first season of Opera Chats with Chautauqua Opera, General and Artistic Director, Steven Osgood will be joined by alumni from the Chautauqua Opera Company’s celebrated young artist program and Chautauqua’s celebrated Opera Conservatory, formerly known as the School of Voice, led by Marlena Malas. Join us in our new Artist Spotlight series, discussing current trends in opera, new works, and an in-depth look at how they have built their careers- before, during, and after their time at Chautauqua. We will also spotlight the creative teams behind our 2022 season!

Here, you can find our most recent episodes as well as photos from our guests that may have been mentioned throughout the episodes!

Special Thanks to Frances Pollock (Composer-in-Residence 2020/2021) and Jasmine Barnes (Composer Fellow 2021) for their 2021 Chautauqua Opera Fanfares, performed by 2021 Young Artists Michael Colman, Jared V. Esguerra, Yazid Gray, Kelly Guerra, and Chasiti Lashay.
