On this edition of The Arts Section, host Gary Zidek sits down with a local opera singer to talk about her unique path to the stage and an upcoming performance with the New Philharmonic. The Dueling Critics, Kelly Kleiman and Jonathan Abarbanel, join Gary to review a new production of a play that originally premiered in Chicago in 1938. Later in the show, Gary visits a new exhibit of Tiffany Lamps. Plus, we’ll hear all about a local theater organization that’s been presenting Gilbert and Sullivan works for over 60 years.
