			12:30	NPR World of Opera Host Lisa Simeone brings listeners compelling performances from top American and international opera companies. World of Opera encompasses the seminal operas of the 17th century; the comic, political and social satires of the 18th century; the "bel canto" masterpieces of Donizetti and Bellini; the revolutionary works of Verdi and Wagner; and, of course, operas in the "true-to-life" verismo style of Puccini and Mascagni. World of Opera showcases opera as anything but an elitist form of art. As the series reveals, opera has been to past centuries what the cinema is to us today: a star-studded, multi-faceted, multi-media form of entertainment, and one that people return to over and over again. In fact, opera is as popular today as it ever has been. Detailed Schedule
