2008-2009 Lyric Opera Commentaries on CD
Listen and learn in the car, on the train, or at the gym!
Everyone will enjoy learning about this season's operas with the convenient and fun Commentaries on CD! Our Commentators simplify abstract plots, share some of their favorite musical excerpts, and narrate anecdotal stories of composers and cast members. The Commentaries on CD make each opera a more rewarding experience!
