Classical Queer Episode 41

We welcome to the show this month the amazing OperaQ from Toronto. They are in the process of making a queer-led Indie Operatic film about the life of Julie d’Aubigny or Mademoiselle de Maupin. You really have to read about her life as a transgressive opera singer and swordsman. 

We talked to the company about the film and what it means to them to produce an Opera about such a larger-tha-life character.

So come take a listen, find out about Julie and her life as well as French Baroque Opera. I learnt so much!
