In today's episode, I chat with soprano Malinda Wagstaff about Giacomo Puccini's most prolific heroines and why their stories are important to opera. From Tosca's fiery passion to Mimi's sweet love, we dive into how four of the strongest female characters in opera each navigate their larger-than-life realities.
