A Tempo (6/13) looks at a collaboration between Opera Philadelphia and Temple University to involve students in recording and marketing projects.

A new partnership between Opera Philadelphia and Temple University is designed to provide students with experience in the various aspects of opera, including producing and releasing recordings of the company's new works on Temple's BCM&D Records label and creating entrepreneurship opportunities for students in the School of Theater, Film and Media Arts focusing on marketing and administration. A Tempo host Rachel Katz chats with Opera Philadelphia President and General Director Anthony Roth Costanzo and Robert Stroker, Dean and Vice Provost for Temple's Boyer College of Music and Dance, and the School of Theater, Film and Media Arts, about this collaboration.

The program also includes a conversation with Costanzo about Opera Philadelphia's plans for its 2026-2027 season.

Rachel Katz is the host of A Tempo which airs Saturdays at 7 pm.
