Interview with Monica Bacelli

During La Calisto's run at the Munich State Opera I had the opportunity to talk to mezzo soprano Monica Bacelli about singing mediocre parts, her Puccini-dislike (a woman after my own heart), Maurizio Pollini destroying harpsichords, why modern music is worth listening to (or performing), and what makes this particular David Alden production so special. Below is the roughly edited interview in modest video quality.
