AA Opera

This weeks incredible guest is the one and only Anna Appleby (and as she says a true AA Opera girl herself). Anna's music has been featured on the podcast all month long and we are so happy to finally share our full interview with her.   Anna is a contemporary composer, currently an artist in residence at Glydebourne. Anna has such an amazing creative catalogue and composing isn't her only MO. Make sure after you listen to the episode to go check out all her work. Including her new single Angel which can be found under the name Norrisette on Spotify!

We also have a wonderful quiz for you again... this one is from BuzzFeed.

This week we have an amazing guest for you (as always ) It's Nina Brazier. Staff director at Oper Frankfurt and founder of The Opera Pod!

It was so lovely to chat with her and we are sure you will love to hear what she had to say.

Plus we are back with another amazing composition from this months composer Anna Appleby.

Ash + Avi chat with tenor and writer Christopher Gillett.
