Soprano Celeste Morales Part 1 (S2 | E82)
Celeste Morales is a singer. That was pretty clear at an early age in this opera soprano’s life. But this radio host was surprised (?) to learn that this opera future-star does not listen exclusively to opera, speak Italian all the time, and dress in period costumes 24/7. Hmmm… guess there is a lot more to learn about the life of an opera singer.
Thankfully we have a two-part radio series with Celeste to set us (me!) straight!
Lots of music and insights with this week’s Lester the Nightfly guest, soprano Celeste Morales.
