Summary: An internet definition of the word “standee” does not mention one word about the likes of David Hausman and Cathryn and Bill Seco. This strata of an opera audience contains the most vociferous adulators of the opera world. David Hausman has been heard from already in this podcast (Episode #015) but this is the first appearance of Cathryn and Bill Seco. The couple met on the standing room line and have been attending opera ever since. All three describe their first operatic experiences and the singers they followed.
