To kick off 2023, Anna and Krista decided to wreck themselves and watch the abomination known as Dance of the Vampires, which was utterly ruined thanks to Michael Crawford. As a bonus, they wish Kenny Loggins a Hap Birfmas and learn about the kalimba! May they recover their brains after this!

Just in time for the holidays, Anna and Krista tell you their plans for Christmas: two cartoons, the first opera written for TV in the US and a Muppet Christmas special. Then they get nostalgic and talk about Christmas past that includes vintage candles and a song about Santa's death day. Hap Honk and Murr Crimmas!

When hackers fuck up the Met Opera's website, what do you do? If you're Anna and Krista, they find an alternate plan! And that alternate is The Abduction of Figaro, the most hilarious shit they've seen so far. This opera has everything: a made-up composer, a guy taking his pants off, Cuba, pirate kidnapping, the Maltese Falcon and the best Gilda Radner shoutout ever.

If you've been hoping for more Handel content, Anna and Krista have an episode for you! They talk about Alcina, the long-forgotten opera about a dumbass hero and the sorceress who enchants him. They also dedicate the episode to Sesame Street's Bob McGrath, celebrate the birfmas of Jose Carreras and clear up why Jonas bowed out of a performance of Andrea Chenier over the weekend.

It's Werther x3 this week as Anna and Krista discuss three productions of Massenet's tale of the Emo King that they saw - Paris, the Met and The Wien. There's nature, there's blood and of course there's The Farter Test. Bonus content for both ladies and their respective stints in Horny Jail.

The intentionally funny, the unintentionally funny and the funny and weird shit that goes down on an opera stage are what Anna and Krista talk about this week. From Barber of Seville to the Invisible Soprano Incident, the ladies cover a lot of ground with names you'll recognize.

With props to Andy Taylor and a dedication to Aaron Carter, Anna and Krista dive into Janacek's Jenufa, a beautiful opera about awful people. They also go off on the decision to cut funding to some major opera houses in the UK and give you a sneak peek into the next episode.

Well, well, well... Anna and Krista are back after watching Cherubini's Medea on the Met's new stream, and they are shooketh. They'll give you the lowdown on its performance history and who is the greatest Medea of all time, and they'll even throw in some Jimmy Swaggart jokes and news about ANOTHER version of Jonas' Christmas album!

In honor of Anna's birthday, she and Krista talk about all the good, bad and funny WTF moments and productions they've encountered in their opera learnings. They revisit Munich's production of Yeet the Baby, Coney Island Cosi and of course The Exterminating Angel. So many moments!

Do you want to be confused for a while? We halp! Anna and Krista review Verdi's Ernani, full of WTF and more twists than a bag of pretzels. You also get learnings on Victor Hugo's sex life and some weird Vietnamese religion. Good times.
