Lyric Opera of Chicago
Jacques Offenbach: The Tales of Hoffman
Lyric Opera of Chicago opened its 57th season last October with this production, starring tenor Matthew Polenzani as the passionate poet Hoffman, with bass-baritone James Morris as all four of Hoffman’s villains, soprano Anna Christy as the mechanical doll Olympia, soprano Erin Wall as the consumptive singer Antonia, and soprano Alyson Cambridge as the fickle courtesan Giulietta. Emmanuel Villaume conducts.

From the Top
Hosted by Christopher O'Riley
On today’s show, meet a 15-year-old pianist who’s already performed at the White House, as well as with the Iraq Symphony in Baghdad. A 17-year-old violinist plays the music of Cesar Franck, a teenage singer performs two pieces by Dominick Argento, and a young cello quartet closes the show with music that evokes the spirit of an old-fashioned barn raising.

Sunday Baroque
Hosted by Suzanne Bona
The number three has extensive symbolism, from philosophy and religion to mathematics and physics. There are three primary colors, three Patriarchs in Judaism; it’s the first odd prime number; and Shakespeare wrote about “three weird sisters,” to name just a few. There’s also wonderful music featuring three instruments, including some Baroque concertos, so three’s a charm this morning.
