There is nothing quite like opera: a full stage production where performers are asked to sing hours of music, in multiple languages, at the very top and bottom of their ranges, and all over a full orchestra. In this episode, Classically Training makes a trip to the Minnesota Opera to find out where this art form came from and how all the pieces come together.
