Sat Aft at the Opera

CBC Radio 2's opera show, hosted (radio and the tweets too) by Ben Heppner. Every Saturday Afternoon. Totally the Opera!

@edward_brain1 Nothing new. We've been starting at 1pm forever -at least a decade regardless of an early start at the Met. They provide the delayed feed for us. Parsifal started at noon - a rare exception.

The show has been starting at 1 pm for a very long time. It occasionally is a delayed feed. The Parsifal started at noon (30 min delay) so we could be done by 6 pm. I think it makes it easier to coordinate the time zones across the country. Nothing new.
