👋🏻, Hello!

Our first official email will go out on Sunday morning, but we wanted to say hi and thank you again for being a subscriber.

While this is a short month, we are going to try to pack it with great stuff. You can expect to hear from us every Sunday on the month's theme. January is Rossini month, and this Sunday's listening guide is kicking us off with some well-known (and some lesser-known) opera buffa (comic opera).

To get you into the swing of things, here is a short interview with mezzo soprano Marilyn Horne from 1985 discussing Rossini and one of his operas, L'italiana in Algeri. You will hear more L'italiana and Marilyn Horne on Sunday.
