Singer, successful podcaster, and host of one of TDO’s inaugural shows, “Hook Push and Pray,” Nicholas Brownlee presents what may be opera’s first online variety show, Nick @ 9. The program incorporates live performance, a “March Madness”–style competition to crown the greatest opera singer of all time, and even modern-day parlor games, including a contest to find out what married opera couples really know about each other.

Brownlee’s many special guests include his wife, mezzo-soprano Jennifer Feinstein, likened by the Los Angeles Times to “a young Horne, so rich is her mezzo and so full of spark was she on stage.”
