Rhiannon Giddens and a roster of classical singers and experts from various fields will dive deep into some of operaâs most renowned melodies for the third season of
Aria Code. The podcast from WQXR and The Metropolitan Opera returns March 10, with new episodes to be released biweekly through November.
In each episode, Grammy winner and MacArthur Fellow Giddens introduces a recording of an operatic performanceâoften of an aria familiar to listeners. However, as the piece is broken down into beats, a panel explores the music through technical, academic, and human interest lenses. Most episodes feature insight from the singer on the recording, a scholar on the titleâs subject matter, and an additional individual outside the opera world.

“I didn’t know what to expect,” Cheung says. What began with a dozen or so medical musicians has grown to more than fifty. “It’s bigger than we ever thought it would be.”
