Rufus Wainwright talks "Prima Donna" at Aspen Music Festival

A special conversation with Rufus Wainwright speaking with Alan Fletcher of the Aspen Music Festival and School ahead of tonight's (July 30th) performance at the festival of selections from Wainwright's opera "Prima Donna".

 

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.
