Aaron Copland

This week’s Sunday Opera (11/17 3:00 p.m.) is the beginning of another series from Beijing’s National Center for the Performing Arts that features Vincenzo Bellini’s “La Sonnambula.”

In an All-American Sunday Opera, we'll feature Ricky Ian Gordon's 2007 operatic version of John Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath" followed by Samuel Barber's Knoxville Summer of 1915 and Aaron Copland's Short Symphony No. 2.
