    Adventures in Italian Opera. Interview with Fred Plotkin

    Julian Sachs(February 17, 2010)
    "Opera continues to be the great live performing art form and we continue to have great performers. I think that the quality and education of singers is better than ever, while what may be missing today is the personal culture of each singer.

Mr. Plotkin is the host of the series "Adventures in Italian Opera", held at Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimò at NYU.
