Here is the latest from The Year Was, which is that thing I do every week. We are up to episode 106. This time we examine the year 1875 as Georges Bizet premiers his final opera, Carmen.

Please excuse my  Bane voice in the Interview portion.

On this episode we are joined by composer Stephen Montalvo.
