Thanks to John, a listener from Mercer County, we’re looking at a new theme for this week’s Dress Circle (8/10 7:00 p.m.) in a program we’ve titled “Duets for Her.” We’ve programed a baker’s dozen of duets for the ladies with some being sincere and others being sincerely snarky. (We prefer the snarky.)

The second half of this program is an encore broadcast of Cadenza recorded with the late Maestro Norrington back in 2007

As we do this, we’ll be looking at shows that span 138 years of musical history.
