Opera for Everyone
Opera for Everyone is a radio show and podcast that makes opera understandable, accessible, and enjoyable for all. Pat Wright hosts the show, inviting guest co-hosts to participate in the mission she and Keely Herron developed after lively discussions of operas they had enjoyed seeing together. Music soars. Epiphanies abound. Hilarity ensues.
The show airs Sundays from 9.00 a.m. to 11.00 a.m. on 89.1 KHOL in Jackson, Wyoming.

It all started when…
Pat and Keely, living in Jackson Hole, would regularly attend “Met Live” performances at the Jackson Hole Center for the Arts. Before watching the performances, they would meet up and present research they had done on the opera so that they would be more informed viewers. Eventually Keely was like, “This should be a podcast!” and Pat was like, “You think? Okay!” and the Opera For Everyone movement was born…
Every week, Pat and a guest host break down a new opera- exploring the life of the composer, the origin material, the historical context, and musical style. Not only is Opera for Everyone informative… it’s fun!
