How do you sing a 12-hour opera? Laurel and David explore the intensely immersive experience of Laurel’s lead role in the experimental opera “Bliss” in a 2019 archive interview. Hear more about the piece, its cultural context, the way the team worked together, and specifics about Laurel’s preparation and execution during an evening of over 1000 high Gs. This episode is being released during the third week of parenthood for the couple, an experience that Laurel said was made more possible by having sung endurance art music. The song of the day is Mozart’s “Laudate Dominum” sung by Laurel in duet with Jaquain Sloan on bassoon and Christoph Bull on organ with Laude as the choir.
