On this episode, soprano Alisa Jordheim and tenor Galeano Salas join the podcast from a porch in Central City – so you’ll hear some wind and cars driving by. Alisa is performing the role of Gilda in this summer’s production of Verdi’s RIGOLETTO, and Galeano is performing the role of The Duke of Mantua in the same production. They are also fairly recent past Apprentice Artists, having gone through CCO's Bonfils-Stanton Artists Training Program about a decade ago. Alisa and Galeano share what they’ve been up to since then, and what it’s like to be back in Central City singing these roles, plus they dig into the psyche of their characters, talk about the challenges of singing outdoors, and so much more.
