We look at two different operas today, a very funny work by British composer Benjamin Britten and some more traditional work by one of opera's favorite sons, Giuseppe Verdi. Opera North is in the midst of a production of Benjamin Britten's opera called Albert Herring, and in tandem with that, a production of Giuseppe Verdi's "Il Trovatore." We'll talk about the beautiful but demanding works being staged at the Lebanon Opera House with Opera North's Director of Productions Ron Lukinger and Artistic Director Louis Burkot.
