On Highway 89 we prepare for Valentine’s Day by celebrating love and the heart through song. Soprano Allison Hunter Nielson is a graduate student in vocal performance at BYU. She is accompanied by civil engineer and pianist Eric Callison. This episode forgoes traditional love songs in favor of feisty and tender arias from a soprano’s perspective.

Host Bruce Seely chats with the performers about bus ninjas, Metropolitan Opera, and the many facets of love.
