S2. Ep05. Today's Wandering Bard is...Anita Lyons!

<p style="text-align:center;">Wandering Bard Month...</p> <p style="text-align:center;">...wraps up with a very dear friend of our humble host! American soprano <a href='http://anitalyons.com'>Anita Lyons</a> is New York City area based opera singer, vocalist and voice teacher. The Expensive Wino has known Anita since our time at Indiana University back in the 90's. We sat down to talk about how she got started in opera and what kinds of things she (and others) did during the pandemic to keep their artistic careers alive.  We'll also listen to two recordings of Anita in performance, with Pianist Craig Ketter, so you can all hear how talented we at the VSC already knew she was!  I also make a cover song suggestion...but you'll have to listen to find out what it is (and if you'd find it as amusing as I would should it ever happen). </p> <p> </p> <p>Here is the link to see Anita in the virtual performance we discussed in the episode,<a href='https://youtu.be/Ndu637smjU4'> </a><a href='https://youtu.be/Ndu637smjU4'>Dido and Aeneas</a> presented by <a href='https://www.wilmingtonconcertopera.com'>Wilmington Concert Opera</a></p>
