I think her ambition is entirely for him - there are some people who live through somebody they love. I mean, that’s the only way I could find to play her. So there are many reasons to play her as a villain, but my overall vision was not to excuse her in any way or her behavior but you know, great love can drive you insane.

Rhiannon Giddens spoke with the New York Times about Aria Code, the podcast she hosts for WQXR and the Met Opera, now in its third season, and "the sheer universality of opera—these deeply emotive stories reflect the best and the worst of human nature, done with mind-bending talent and artistic collaboration." You can read it here.

ahhhhhh Aria Code... it’s been too long since I’ve cried in my kitchen over the power of music, and the power of the enduring, life-defining and lifesaving connections that humans make to music, and to each other through music...

Aria Code, the Rhiannon Giddens–hosted podcast from The Metropolitan Opera and WQXR, returns for its third season today. The new season will cover a range of music, artists, and voices, starting with today's first episode, focused on "Nessun dorma," from Puccini's opera Turandot. Giddens hears from conductor Yannick Nezet-Seguin, writer Anne Midgette, and Dr. Michael Cho, a pulmonary and critical care physician at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, who has been on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic and is a violist with the Longwood Symphony Orchestra and National Virtual Medical Orchestra.

Aria Code, the Rhiannon Giddens–hosted podcast from The Metropolitan Opera & WQXR, begins its second season today. "I've been thinking about what makes great arias so powerful," Giddens says, "and I think a big part of it is that they tap into our strongest emotions. One of the emotions that come up over and over again in opera, and in life, is desire." Hear the new episode, on Verdi's Lady Macbeth, with Dame Judi Dench (!), Anna Netrebko, Anne Midgette, and Tana Wojczuk, here.
