About this listen

On this episode of Opera Apéro, I talk to my friend Caitlin (she/her) about Ruggero Leoncavallo's opera Pagliacci. It's the story of a clown burying his feelings under his makeup and costume leading to an explosive ending. We talk about all kinds of clownery: toxic masculinity, the American double sided friendliness/fakeness, and The Simpsons. Stick around at the end to hear more about what I've been up to during the show hiatus.

Let me know what you thought on social media: on Instagram @opera.apero and on Twitter @OperaApero. You can find show notes for this episode and more about the podcast on operaapero.com
