Paradox Opera
Fandom of the Opera
Hosted by: Alissa Roca — soprano, founder, and Executive Artistic Director of Paradox Opera Gwen Hyland — baritone, librettist, and creator of Don G (Abridged!) and PXO’s upcoming major new commission The Genders of Gybberidge Opera, fandom, and everything in between. Fandom of the Opera is where high art meets high chaos — a podcast exploring opera through the lens of pop culture, fandom, and creative collaboration. Each episode, Alissa and Gwen pull back the curtain on what makes opera magical, messy, and more relevant than ever — from behind-the-scenes stories and artist interviews to deep dives into music, storytelling, and the strange overlap between classical and internet culture.
