Another bonus episode!

Another bonus episode! A conversation with composer Matthew Aucoin, whose opera Euridice had a run at the Met last month, and who just wrote a new book about the history and culture of opera, The Impossible Art: Adventures in Opera.

A few things by Matthew Aucoin to check out:

• The Impossible Art, out now with FSG
• His writings for the New York Review of Books
• The Met page for Euridice
• More on Aucoin’s website!
• Also, Nico Muhly’s 2015 essay on mental health, which we discussed in our conversation
