Accelerando to more Opera at a Baseball Park

Yesterday in our installment of Let's Talk Opera, we learned that the San Francisco Opera is doing live opera simulcasts on the Jumbo-tron at the baseball stadium there in San Francisco. Today, I learn that they are not the only company that is doing that! There is going to be a FREE opera simulcast of Barber of Seville at the Washington Nationals Park in Washington, DC. This is the opening night performance for the Washington National Opera. Free Opera...I guess you have to believe it when they say the best things in life are free. In today's Let's Talk Opera, we talk about Washington Opera, St. Petersburg Opera, the Dicapo Opera theater, and I learn a new word....accelerando! If you missed the first edition, go see it here!

Ok....now it is time to enjoy today's Let's Talk Opera:

Debut of Let's Talk Opera

So, I bet you were wondering what was going to go on the OperaGobbler.com Events Page! I know I was, so when Bryce came to me with the idea yesterday of a News segment...I was very excited to learn more about what was going on in the world of opera. Here is the first news segment. As with all things "new," we have some kinks to work out, but we are really excited to share the latest Opera News with you! So here you go (we will be archiving all of these videos on the Events Page on the website)
