(Spoiler alert: it\u2019s an opera, so she never gets the chance.) In this episode, host Rhiannon Giddens and her guests reflect on Violetta\u2019s spectacular Act I finale and its deep inner conflicts around love and freedom. Plus, you&#8217;ll hear the complete aria sung from the Met Opera stage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Guests<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Diana Damrau is one of the leading sopranos of our time.
