In this OCS, Houston Public Media's St.John Flynn and Eric Skelly of the River Oaks Chamber Orchestra discuss the first opera in Donizetti's "Tudor trilogy." Based on the tragic story of Henry VIII's second wife, it's a tale about the dangers of marrying a serial monogamist!

Tune in to Houston Public Media's Classical 91.7, Saturday, January 9th, at noon, for the Metropolitan Opera's broadcast of Anna Bolena featuring Sondra Radvanovsky in the title role and HGO Studio alum Jamie Barton singing Jane Seymour.
