Opera. Wine. Strong opinions. What could possibly go wrong? Steven Kickbusch, Michael Hibbard, and Leslie Martin-Nightingale, three long-time colleagues and opera tragics, dive into one great aria per episode. They bring sharp insight, questionable wine analogies, and unfiltered reactions. Expect historic and modern recordings, thematically matched wines, irreverent moments, hot debates in true operatic fashion, and a shared love of great singing — and the artform itself. It’s home-recorded and occasionally a bit rough, but that’s part of the charm. So... Aria Listening? You should be.
