Classical Music Discoveries

This episode introduces Giacomo Meyerbeer, our featured opera composer for the month of February 2022.
Meyerbeer is almost a completely unknown opera composer in today's world, although he was the most internationally famous opera composer of his day.  However, thanks to the politically driven "cancel culture" of his day - Wagner and the Nazi regime, his extraordinary and beautiful operas are rarely performed today, and yet, they are some of the greatest operas that exist.
Join us as we resurrect 4 of his most popular operas this month.
In this broadcast, we also perform for you, "The Skaters" by Meyerbeer.
