What makes an opera performance great?

From perfecting pronunciation to understanding character motivation, every detail counts.

GBH Music partnered with Boston Lyric Opera (BLO) and New England Conservatory (NEC) to explore the artistry behind opera in a dynamic video series featuring legendary singers Patricia Racette, Susan Graham, and Davóne Tines. Designed for newcomers and seasoned enthusiasts alike, Getting into Opera reveals how powerful performances are shaped through vocal coaching, stage direction, and artistic mentorship.

Filmed in front of a live audience in GBH’s acoustically acclaimed Fraser Performance Studio, each episode showcases rising talents from BLO’s Jane & Steven Akin Emerging Artist Initiative and NEC’s opera program.

New episodes are released weekly throughout September 2025, and are available on GBH Music’s YouTube channel.
