Opera lover Zeinab Badawi meets stars from the opera world who are seeking to make opera fit for the 21st century. In this first episode, Zeinab talks to two of today's biggest opera names: Italian mezzo soprano Cecilia Bartoli and tenor Juan Diego Florez. Zeinab hears how Cecilia Bartoli is pushing the boundaries in a traditional man's world with a string of opera firsts to her name. And she talks to Peruvian-born tenor Juan Diego Florez about how he uses his Latin American flair and showmanship to attract new audiences and to re-imagine opera for the future.
