The last installment for Nope-vember 2021. Wagner may think he dreamed up a really good redeption-through-love story, but all he did was invent the Manic Pixie Dream Girl. Needless to say, we’re not impressed.

Join us as we once again chew on the bitter fruit that is Orientalism, and we ask ourselves if the rarity of a strong female lead makes this opera any more palate-able than other Orientalist comedies.

It's our Anniversary!!! Thank you to everyone who has listened to our silly opera podcast over the past year. We truly wouldn't have made this far without you. For this episode, our fabulous Patreon members chose the opera, and they voted unanimously to hear us destroy Puccini's La Bohème...and we certainly deliver on the destruction bit. Seriously, though, we are NOT on team Rodolfo.

"Goin' on an adventure to hell. Pack a lunch." This episode was a special request from our #1 fan, Savannah D. Enjoy the wild romp through the mortal realm (where the love lives suck and the violin playing is mediocre, at best), Olympus (where we're not sure what's worse, the politicians or the food), and finally hell (where there is fly sex (???) and everyone dances the Can-Can).
