Isaiah Bell is one-of-a-kind. Tenor, composer, one-man-show creator, writer of artisanal haiku, this guy doesn't stop. Jenna spoke with Isaiah from his base in Victoria, B.C., about how he is just loving lockdown life. He's got yet another project on the go, and a fresh new mic that arrived in time for this chat, and a subliminal love for the darkly hopeful story of Pollyanna.

Isaiah Bell: Pollyanna

The Isaiah Bell - The Rev. Scott Claassen

Chris Mayell

In an epic Classical Classroom, tenors Isaiah Bell and Chris Mayell (who, among many other things, co-host the Overthought podcast) walk through the entirety of Benjamin Britten’s opera, Albert Herring. It is an incredible journey, not for the faint of heart, nor for the anti-Canadian. Discussed: townies, queer theory vs. non-queer theory interpretations of the opera, Sid and Nancy (no – not them – the other Sid and Nancy), and Ron Swanson.  Music in this episode (all from Naxos and Decca recordings of Albert Herring):  “Right! We’ll have him!” (Bedford/Barstow)  “Albert the Good!” (Britten/Fisher)   “Sounds like Sid serenading” (Bedford/Barstow)   “Heaven helps those who helps themselves” (Bedford/Barstow)   “In the midst of life is death” (Britten/Fisher)   Audio production by Todd “Overtodd” Hulslander with meaningful encouragement from Dacia Clay and assistance from Mark DiClaudio.
