George goes ‘Inside the Huddle’ with mezzo-soprano Davia Bouley. She’s currently singing Carmen at the Bay View Music Festival in Michigan, but she’s based in Berlin. Davia and George talk about the easy parts of singing Carmen (hint: not a lot), plus they compare and contrast Berlin’s opera houses...

Then creative consultant Oliver Camacho checks in from the Berlin of the East Coast. That would be New London, Connecticut, where he’s spent the last few weeks at the Amherst Early Music Festival. Don’t miss his audio postcard...

And but of course you get all your opera headlines and the OBS team's hot takes on them in ‘The Two Minute Drill’...
