World's Most Popular Opera Live Broadcast on APR Monday

 Puccini's La Boheme is the tragic story of bohemian artists and lovers in  turn-of-the-century Paris, robed in some of the most beautiful music ever written. At times funny, tragic and heart-opening but always melodious, no opera has caught the affection and devotion of opera lovers as universally as Puccini's La Boheme

Be sure to tune in to Aspen Public Radio for a live broadcast of Boheme from the Wheeler Opera House. Director Ed Berkeley offers an extensive and heartfelt intermission feature as we talk about what makes this opera so beloved. Curtain time at The Wheeler -- and in your living room -- is Monday, July 18 at 8:00 pm. Tune in to Aspen Public Radio at the end of the first full day of our Pledge Drive for a five-hankie evening of opera! 

Classical music reporter Chris Mohr has loved classical music since he was twelve. “And I owe it all to radio,” Chris explains. “I grew up in a farm town east of Cleveland. One day I turned on the local classical radio station. They were playing Vivaldi, and it was like the gates of heaven opened up to me!" Chris is also a composer, and is working on a 53-note-to-the-octave oratorio, "Melodies of the Shoreless Sea." This is his ninth summer working for Aspen Public Radio.
