Hosts
Lisa Simeone
Lisa Simeone hosts WDAV’s At The Opera and has more than 25 years experience in radio and television, including stints on All Things Considered, Performance Today, Weekend Edition and The Metropolitan Opera.
Lisa began her career at WBJC in Baltimore and WETA in Washington, D.C. During her ten years at Baltimore’s WJHU, she developed a loyal following for her unusual mix of programming — classical, folk and jazz, along with provocative reports, interviews, and call-in shows on a wide variety of subjects, everything from anthropology to neuroscience to philosophy to media criticism. (But she confesses that her favorite reports were on bocce, The Hon Man of Baltimore, and the virtues of a well-fitting bra!).
Lisa was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and earned a B.A. in Liberal Arts from St. John’s College in Annapolis, Maryland (the ‘Great Books School’) and earned her M.A. from the Writing Seminars at Johns Hopkins University.
