Journey From East to West
The Chinese-born operatic bass Hao Jiang Tian worked in a factory as a teenager, yet also was able to develop as a singer during the Cultural Revolution. Today, he is a regular fixture at the Metropolitan Opera, where he recently sang in a production of Tan Dun’s "The First Emperor." He joins us to talk about his new memoir, Along the Roaring River: MY Wild Ride from Mao to the Met.
