THE BEST OF 2022!

Hello, dear Scorekeepers! Welcome back to THE SCORE and we hope you're all having a very happy holiday season! All of us are on vacation, but we didn't want to leave you without anything to listen to in case you're stuck at the airport (looking at you, Southwest) or you need a respite from all the family togetherness. This week, we're taking a look back at some of our favorite conversations from this past year. And they're in shareable bite-sized pieces, so if you're new to the show or you'd like to introduce someone to what we do, here's a handy little primer on what we've been up to this year. So sit a spell and look back at this crazy year with us. (Obviously, there's lots of Beyoncé!) And of course, we'll see you again next year with a fresh batch of all-new shows! Happy New Year, y'all!

Hosts: Lee Bynum, Rocky Jones, Paige Reynolds (Iyawo Inawale)

Producer: Rocky Jones

About the Podcast

The Score
News and commentary about opera, classical music, and pop culture seen through an antiracist and anti-oppressive lens
It's time to put opera on game! Hosts Lee Bynum, Paige Reynolds, and Rocky Jones are three Black and queer artists, pop culture aficionados, and arts administrators at Minnesota Opera, who are working every day to bring more diversity, equity, and inclusivity into opera and classical music. The Score is their provocative, thoughtful, and humorous commentary on the industry's past, present, and future, as seen through an anti-racist and anti-oppressive lens. Each episode features a variety of stories from a variety of perspectives that bring People of the Global Majority, queer, trans and nonbinary folks, and everyone else into the discussion of ownership over and access to the art form. From the opera house to the statehouse to your house, each episode will amplify the voices of those in the field who are pushing the boundaries of what opera is, who it is for, and how it can transform us and our communities. New episodes come out every other Wednesday!
