He talks about his distinct, commanding, and dramatic voice, performing naked at the Metropolitan Opera, and the importance of engaging new audiences. Anthony recalls his theatrical childhood, how he was "bit by the opera bug" performing onstage with Pavarotti, and the elaborate thesis he co-wrote and performed while a student at Princeton.Check out Anthony Roth Costanzo on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Apple Music, Spotify, or the web.Follow Speaking Soundly on Instagram.Follow David on Instagram.You can find out more about Artful Narratives Media on Instagram and the web.The Speaking Soundly theme song is composed by Joseph Saba/Stewart Winter and used by permission of Videohelper.Speaking Soundly was co-created by David Krauss and Jessica Handelman. This interview has been edited and condensed to fit the time format.Episode copyright © 2023 Artful Narratives Media.
