Lauren Flanigan
Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
New York City Opera -- beleaguered but showing signs of renewal -- is opening its season with a rarity, Hugo Weisgall's 1993 opera Esther. Singing the title role is soprano Lauren Flanigan, who has long been the company’s prima diva and known for tackling offbeat and difficult roles. She joins us to give a preview and talk about life at New York’s scrappy “second” opera house.
