Christopher O'Riley
What began as an interesting radio experiment just more than six years ago has become one of the five most popular weekly one-hour radio programs on all of public radio. From the Top, the hit radio showcase for America's best young classical musicians, is hosted by acclaimed pianist Christopher O'Riley.
Recorded in live concert settings in concert halls around the United States, From the Top captures the top-notch musicianship, offbeat humor and insights of America's best classical musicians ages nine to 18. High-profile performers such as Yo-Yo Ma, Dawn Upshaw, Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg and Bobby McFerrin have appeared on the show to talk about their musical influences and the development of their careers, and to perform with the young artists.
From the Top is an independent non-profit organization that encourages and celebrates the commitment of young people to music and the arts on multiple platforms, including nationally broadcast television and radio programs, live concerts, education and community initiatives, and online at FromTheTop.org.
From the Top is made possible through grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation. It is also supported through the generous contributions of individuals and foundations as well as radio stations around the country.
The From the Top radio program is produced in association with NPR Member station WGBH in Boston and New England Conservatory of Music, its home and education partner, and distributed nationally by NPR.

| 8:00 pm | NPR's World of Opera |
 |
Lisa Simeone
World of Opera with host Lisa Simeone brings listeners compelling performances from top American and international opera companies. For three and a half hours each week, World of Opera encompasses the seminal operas of the 17th century; the political and social satires of the 18th century; the "bel canto" masterpieces of Donizetti and Bellini; the revolutionary 19th-century works of Verdi and Wagner; and, of course, operas in the "true-to-life" verismo style of Puccini and Mascagni.
Begun in April 1984, World of Opera goes beyond the traditional, operatic vernacular to showcase opera as anything but an elitist form of art. As the series reveals, opera has been to past centuries what the cinema is to us today: a star-studded, multi-faceted, multi-media form of entertainment, evoking a world of tragedy and triumph, passion and seduction, intrigue and disaster, jealousies and dreams — a world that people return to over and over again. In fact, opera is as popular today as it ever has been.
