With President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration this Friday, who knows if any of us will be around next Monday. So, we here at the OBS figured that if we don’t make it through the weekend, we might as well go out with a bang. We’re pulling out all the stops for this week's show...

It’s the first TKO match of 2017, and it's a Masked Mezzo Royal Rumble. Can you guess which mezzo-soprano dares to take on five challengers? Which one will emerge as Vocal Royalty? George and Daina take sides...

Then, Oliver plays Monday Evening Quarterback and reviews Lyric Opera of Chicago's production of Mozart's "The Magic Flute"...

And of course you get all your opera headlines and our hot takes on them in ‘The Two Minute Drill’...
