Opera is a beloved art form, but its racial history is as flawed as the rest of our culture. We talk to Naomi Andre, a professor at the University of Michigan, about the history of race in opera and how this traditional art form is hopefully getting with the times.

Guest:

• Naomi Andre, Associate Professor of Afro-American and African Studies at the University of Michigan and author, “Black Opera: History, Power, Engagement”
