Professor Corry Cropper, our beloved Department Chair, will be on the radio this Thursday discussing the opera Carmen by Georges Bizet. Since the 1880s it has been one of the world's most performed operas and a staple of the operatic repertoire. The discussion will be concentrated particularly on the story (by Mérimée) on which the opera is based and how Bizet's work is different from the original.
Catch it on Classical 89 at 11:00am, and again at 8:00pm.
If you miss the airing, you'll be able to listen to it at any time online (http://www.classical89.org/thinkingaloud/) after it airs.
