Tales of the 20th Century – Episode 9

Our episode this week will feature two magnificent recordings of Puccini’s “Madama Butterfly,” along with some accompanying commentary about the renowned 1904 opera. We then fast-forward about 50 years with a passage from Richard Yates’ novel of suburban frustration, “Revolutionary Road.” Along the way, we’ll have some great music and poetry to lead you through. Enjoy!
