This episode is the second in our "What the hell?" series in which we talk about some ridiculous opera plots. Today, Elspeth takes us through a delightful and completely crazy opera that we all want to see now... "Švanda the Bagpiper" a.k.a "Švanda dudák" a.k.a "Schwanda, der Dudelsackpfeifer"!

Ep. 12: Švanda the Bagpiper / Dudelsackpfeifer

Forget what you thought you knew about classical music, and leave your preconceived notions at the door! Co-hosted by Naomi Barrettara, Elspeth Davis, and Kyle Homewood, Opera After Dark is a journey into the surprisingly wild, sometimes sexy, ALWAYS weird world of classical music. Join us as we settle in, open a bottle of wine, get tipsy, and discuss and share the crazy stories and bizarre facts about the “high art” that we love.
