The #OperaTrash Podcast

Hearken back to Episode 69 (how appropriate) where we discuss Jim Steinman's musical that is actually a musical and not an album. Sing along with Anna and Krista when they hear "Totalis Finsternis" (totally not Total Eclipse of the Heart) because of course Jim Steinman would put that melody in a musical, are you silly?

This is just a little check-in to let you know that we're still kicking. We also wanted to give you a Halloween gift that keeps on giving - a flashback of our review of Tanz der Vampir!

Anna and Krista are back with their review of the biopic Maria, starring Angelina Jolie as La Divina herself. If you want to wreck yourself even after you check yourself, watch this movie and be utterly devastated.

Oh, the saga continues... this time, Angela Gheorghiu gave an interview in which she outright LIES about the Korea Incident and about the VIenna Incident. Did we mention that she also lies about Jonas? Yeah, she went there. This will not stand, and Krista and Anna (mostly Krista) give her the Brandy Rhodes Treatment.

Get ready to Netflix and chill! Anna and Krista give you the details on the upcoming biopic (BYE-oh-pick) on La Divina herself, Maria Callas, starring Angelina Jolie. And while you wait for that to premiere, check out the Oscar-nominated biopic on Leonard Bernstein, directed by (by orders of Steven Spielberg himself) and starring Bradley Cooper. Hey, make it a double feature!

Angela Gheorgiu is at it again! Anna and Krista tell you all about a recent incident in Seoul that remids them of the infamous Tosca encore involving Jonas back in 2016. Speaking of Jonas, Krista gives us a review of his new panty-melting album Puccini: Love Affairs.

Four years ago, two wise-ass ladies with smart mouths and a juvenile sense of humor started a podcast about opera. On the anniversary of their first episode, they offer a special retelling of the messiest opera ever - Richard "Bitch Lasagna" Wagner's Tristan und Isolde. Here's to more shenanigans!

With their guest Dr. Nyri Bakkalian, Anna and Krista discuss a funny yet problematic PDQ Bach piece that opens up a beautiful discussion on reclaiming and refreshing works that wouldn't fly in today's society. Is it possible? Absolutely, and it's starting to happen.

Website malfunctions have not kept Anna and Krista from reviewing Carrie Cracknell's production of Carmen, which just closed at the Met. Even though Anna wasn't able to spend the time in Horny Jail, Krista gives the rundown of the modern take on Bizet with a bit of a twist ending. Then they plunge into ramblings on the Royal Rumble, give a birthday shoutout to Ol' Slapnuts and revisit the tale of Victor Hugo: Mega-Manwhore.

Anna and Krista have returned! After catching you up with all the lastest news and gossip, they reflect on the career of Peter Schiekele, the creator of P.D.Q. Bach and a great musician in his own right, who passed away on January 16. They also tell you what to expect in the next few weeks!
