Most of us have a few favorite things, like our favorite foods, or sports, or even songs. Genevieve takes us on a journey to the Santa Fe Opera, where she attends her very first live opera, Tristan und Isolde. She interviews Chelsea Dennis, the production director, who explains the magic of opera, how it's different from plays and musicals, and what it takes to bring a grand production to life.
