Melanie Bacaling, Simon Dyer, and Vincent Turregano proudly present the first episode of OPERAtion: What's My Why?  After a brief introduction, we dive into Puccini's "La boheme."  From why "boheme" is one of the most performed operas in the world to how we should be funding the arts, we discuss the gambit of what makes opera an interesting art form ... why we love it ... why it can be important ... and why we think you should come to the opera house. We want to invite you to join us, not only in the opera house, but here on our podcast. Take a moment to get to know us and enjoy this discussion among friends. We hope that you enjoy this episode.
