KUSC to air L.A. Opera

KUSC-FM (91.5) will broadcast Los Angeles Opera’s 2007 production of Beethoven’s “Fidelio” at 10:30 a.m. Saturday. The broadcast will be the first in a series of 10 consecutive Saturday shows, through July 19, presenting the entire 2007-08 L.A. Opera season, including the concert performance of Verdi’s Requiem, which will air May 24.

This will be the second year that KUSC and the opera have collaborated on producing “L.A. Opera on Air,” hosted by Duff Murphy and produced by Gail Eichenthal. The programs will also be available for simultaneous online streaming at www.kusc.org.
