You’ll hear the sparkle and sophistication of Rossini’s beloved barber, the youthful charm of Donizetti’s regiment, the bittersweet yearnings of Puccini and Weill, and the fiery passions of Verdi’s immortal heroes. But that’s not all, folks! So pull up a chair, gather around the radio, and join us for an unforgettable broadcast of operatic hits, dramatic stories, and timeless melodies.
