Live Broadcast of Barber of Seville

You know the song from the days you watched Bugs Bunny cartoons. You can listen to the famous tune right here, and you can enjoy the entire opera, Rossini's timeless Barber of Seville, live from the Wheeler Opera House on Aspen Public Radio Monday, July 16 at 8:00 pm with host Chris Mohr. Broadcast with the help of the Aspen Music Festival and School. It's funny, it's beautiful, and it is a great chance to enjoy hearing  youth and love win out over power and corruption!

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.
