Comedic humor combined with history and opera?!  That’s what you get when you combine the Second City and the Lyric Opera of Chicago’s newest production of the first installment of Das Rheingold and “Longer! Louder! Wagner! The Second City Wagner Companion”.  Andrea Darlas sits down with Second City writer Tim Sniffen and Lyric star Rodell Rosel to talk about BOTH shows, how they overlap, and how to introduce audiences to opera in a lighthearted way.  We also talk about perhaps the most comedic sketch in America right now….the election!
