Love in the Time of Tinder is a recital exploring 21st century love through classical vocal music. It uses arias and songs from the classical vocal repertoire (many of which are translated into modern English) plus some musical theatre, as well as some stand up comedy to show that the only thing different between now and previous generations is the dating app.
