I thought it may be a good idea to mention here that tomorrow morning at 10am All Classical 89.9fm, Portland's very own and wonderful all-classical radio station will be broadcasting Portland Opera's production of Bizet's Carmen which opened last season's offerings. Those of you who attended and saw Jossie Perez's performance of the title role will want to hear it again and for those of you who didn't, now is your chance! Either way 89.9 on your radio dial is the place to be tomorrow morning for an off-season opera fix.
