“Opera for everyone as well as opera for all… are ones of the best. You learn opera and at the same time your English improve. What else?”

“This podcast provides wonderful context, both about the era of composition and the historical era in which a given opera is set. The hosts have delightful chemistry and charming and engaging. They are also wonderful ambassadors for this genre - which needs younger listeners like me in order to...”Read full review »

“Great podcast for those who are not accustomed to opera. Pat does a great job doing the serious and historical overview while her guests do the comedic (for most). I will say I’d prefer the podcast to be longer with the complete opera and the discussion in a separate episode. I will say I’m...”Read full review »

So sad they talk down to their audience who deserves the utmost respect in desiring to understand this beautiful, intricate, and popular art of musical...”Read full review »

“Opera for Everyone is the most consistent Opera podcast out there! The banter is just enough to be entertaining while staying educational, and it’s a great resource for exploring an opera, without having to do the research oneself. The hosts are fantastic and bring a nice levity to even the most...”Read full review »

“Stimulated by OFE, I got a DVD of Berlioz’s Benvenuto Cellini. The DVD production was directed by Terry Gilliam (best known for Monte Python). The score was either the Weimar version or Paris 2 (I know it wasn’t Paris 1 because of what OFE taught me). Music was great and Gilliam laid on the...”Read full review »

“I appreciate this podcast. For me, it does what it’s mission is set to do - makes opera accessible and not so intimidating to someone (me) who knows so little about opera. It inspires me to see them once we can again.
I’ve listened to all of them! And loved it and will most likely listen again....”Read full review »

“For no longer subjecting me to the excruciating “d* blond” bit and letting me enjoy the one COVID era perk -watching free opera streams and listening to podcasts about these operas.”

“I am new to the world of Classical Music and Opera, and this podcast has helped me greatly in understanding and appreciating it.
The balance between describing the story, playing the music, and delving into the private life of the composers is perfect!
My favourite podcast!”

“Great for opera newbies to understand the story behind the opera before seeing it I listen to several podcasts before seeing an opera and this is always one of them because jt’s a good blend of music and relevant discussion of the story, theme and characters.”

“The quality depends on the opera in question. The biggest four gripes I have about this podcast is that they NEVER give credit to the singers of the excerpts we’re hearing. You’d think this is common courtesy, especially given copyright and all. And secondly, sometimes the hosts are too chatty. ...”Read full review »

“This could have been a very good podcast, but many times, the hosts have no idea what they’re talking about, they don’t have a good grasp on the stories (and nor the music), and much of the time they’re “guessing” why something is the way it is, and sometimes they’re just WRONG!

No idea why this hasn’t been picked up by NPR or isn’t more popular. Perfect...”Read full review »

“In opera we always want to know who it is and the orchestra/conductor and the year
With just a few words they could give this information that is customary and so important”
