The Medium - SERIO

Episode Summary

There is a new opera company in town, SERIO! Louisa Jonason, artistic and music director of SERIO, and soprano Mary Beth Sederburg, discuss their upcoming performance of The Medium. The show runs at Pittsburgh Music Academy on September 13 to 15th. Louisa talks about creating SERIO out of a desire to have performers sing a complete role, as opposed to just a select few arias.
