In this episode, Ros and Adele unpack the phenomenon of Pay-to-sing programs for young opera singers. They investigate the high-profile case of Chicago Summer Opera, and reveal details of several programs that have not delivered on promises paid for. The hosts reflect on whether pay-to-sings can ever be truly ethical, and whether if the system continues in this direction, the opera industry will slowly die.
