Hello??? We've missed you! We've been working overtime to get this Opera Company Spreadsheet finished, and it's OUT! Check our insta bio for the link. In today's episode, we're tackling way too many categories... the original recording was 2.5 hours lmao
First, something objectively WILD happened with the Richard Tucker Foundation this week that led us to discuss our differing opinions surrounding the phenomenon often called 'Cancel Culture'. We have a nuanced conversation about accountability, consequence, and our place in this narrative. Do we as white people have more work to do after a Cancelation? Spoiler alert: YUP
Then, we take a second to reflect on one of the most powerful conversations we've seen take place in the opera world. Mezzo-soprano J'Nai Bridges hosts a zoom call with five other Black opera singers (Karen Slack, Julia Bullock, Morris Robinson, Lawrence Brownlee, and Russell Thomas) to reflect on the Opera world's response to George Floyd's lynching.
Finally, the spreadsheet detailing Opera Companies' responses to the BLM protests/rebellions is out. We talk though some of our categorizations, what to look out for, and some ways we've been able to think critically about this data. As always, we wanna hear from you! xoxo the TTA ladies
