Here's the first episode of the new opera season, a discussion of Italian recitative with coach Felice Venanzoni. We focus on the recit before "Là ci darem la mano" and the aria "Non mi dir" from Mozart's Don Giovanni. We talk about many diction details, but also about recitatives in general and how to approach learning and performing them.

On this episode I also talk about 7 steps to learn music and have added a page to the website to list them out and explain them a little more fully than in the episode. I hope you find them useful!
