NHPR listeners should know that one of the lucky theaters qualified to offer the Met in HD/Dolby is VERY near them: The Music Hall in Portsmouth is smack in the middle of the 2008 opera season, with three performances still available: Pter Grimes (Britten)on Mar 15, Tristan und Isolde (Wagner) on Mar 22, La Boehme on Apr 5 and Daughter of the Regiment (Donizetti)on Apr 26. The series is underwritten by our own Granite State Opera. You should talk to Patricia Lynch, TMH Executive Director when you talk to the guy at Harvard.
And this comment is one I would expand on, in general. The topics you are exploring in "Word of Mouth" have resonance all over your backyard. Would love to see NHPR focus on New Hampshire roots and connections -- for another example, there are lots of great independent bookstores in New Hampshire and lots of fascinating authors, organizations, ideas here too -- as NHPR already knows so well. If Word of Mouth is an NHPR "salon" let's look local!
