Episode 48: 16048 Donizetti: The Tutor in a Jam
L'ajo nell'imbarazzo (The Tutor Embarrassed or The Tutor in a Jam) is a melodramma giocoso, or opera, in two acts by Gaetano Donizetti. The Italian libretto was written by Jacopo Ferretti, after the 1807 play by Giovanni Giraud. At its premiere at the Teatro Valle, Rome, on 4 February 1824, it "was greeted with wild enthusiasm [and] it was with this opera that [...] Donizetti had his first really lasting success" During revisions planned for the 1826 production in Naples, Donizetti renamed the opera Don Gregorio, and it is under that name that most later productions were staged.

Episode 55: 16055 Bizet: The Pearl Fishers
Les pêcheurs de perles (The Pearl Fishers) is an opera in three acts by the French composer Georges Bizet, to a libretto by Eugène Cormon and Michel Carré. It was premiered on 30 September 1863 at the Théâtre Lyrique in Paris, and was given 18 performances in its initial run. Set in ancient times on the island of Ceylon (Sri Lanka), the opera tells the story of how two men's vow of eternal friendship is threatened by their love for the same woman, whose own dilemma is the conflict between secular love and her sacred oath as a priestess. The friendship duet "Au fond du temple saint", generally known as "The Pearl Fishers Duet", is one of the best-known in Western opera.

Episode 51: 15051 Introducing Tina Vivaldi
Tina Vivaldi is a wonderful example of our "Women in Classical Music Program." Tina was working as a checkout clerk in Naples when we were alerted to a girl that was a fabulous flutist, but due to her lack of formal music education, could not find a job doing what she loved best. After an audition, we were amazed as to how brilliantly she played the flute, and yet she never had any formal music training in her life. She was a 100% self-taught flutist. We put her through an intense orchestral and music training program at our CMD Orchestral Training facility and now you can hear the results.
