3/22/21 Molto Agitato (the Metropolitan Opera)

From 2001 - We replay a conversation with Johanna Fielder, daughter of longtime Boston Pops conductor Arthur Fiedler, and a former press liaison for the Metropolitan Opera She talks about her book "Molto Agitato," a behind-the-scenes look at the Metropolitan Opera. We are replaying this conversation in the wake of the recent death of James Levine, the Met's longtime music director, whose legacy is now significantly tarnished by numerous allegations about serious personal misconduct. (At the time she wrote this book, she dismissed those allegations as groundless. Because she died in 2011, there is no way to know how or if she might have revised that assessment in light of more recent allegations and revelations.)
