Sylvia's Don Giovanni review!!
We are SO excited to share our convo with THEE Sylvia Korman!! They are an opera critic for Parterre Box, owner of @peoplemadatopera on twitter, and a phd student genius!!
We followed Sylvia to the met’s production of don Giovanni like two little puppy dogs to get an inside look at the critic’s PROCESS: what are they thinking about when they sit down to watch a production they plan on reviewing? Do they take notes? Should a reviewer lean into The Dunk, or resist it with all their might? Are we all addicted to the dunk, or can we stomach sincerity and nuance? Should we ask that woman who had an org*sm at Tchaik V to come on the pod??? We discuss all of this and more on this, our most Sylvia-filled episode yet!
