What is Czech opera, anyway?

Update: 2021-06-23

Description

In today's episode, I chat again with soprano Malinda Wagstaff, this time about Czechia (a.k.a. the Czech Republic) and the operas that have come from its most prolific composers. We cover all of the bases from the nation's tumultuous beginnings and unfamiliar language to the whimsical motifs that make Czech opera unique.
