Who knew that there was a day set aside for the celebration of 8-Track tapes? It’s on April 11, but this week’s Dress Circle (4/12 7:00 p.m.) is dedicated to it since we couldn't let it pass. We need something to celebrate, and it's just so wonderfully strange.

We have a bit of a medieval fantasy on this week’s Sunday Opera (4/5 3:00 p.m.) in Giacomo Meyerbeer’s 1817 work “Romilda e Costanza” which deals with the bumpy road to love for the Prince of Provence. This is Meyerbeer’s fourth opera and the first to be composed for an Italian theatre, the Teatro Nuovo in Padua.

Happy April, and although the month is starting to look like one that’s unsettled as much as March was, we’re still going to celebrate just a few of the shows that opened in April on this week’s Dress Circle (3/5 7:00 p.m.). We’re only looking at eleven musicals this week as we focus on overtures and opening numbers, but we’re still covering 100 years of Broadway history.

Music by Anton Rubinstein, Renaldo Hahn, Debussy and Emil von Sauer, plus Vladimir Horowitz in Liszt's transcription of Wagner's Leibestod.
