The Boston Lyric Opera's 80th anniversary production of "Carousel" starts tonight, and brings the beloved show back to its beginnings at the historic Colonial Theater – in 1945.
We speak with Boston Lyric Opera CEO Bradley Vernatter, director and visionary Anne Bogart, and Boston Foundation's Lee Pelton, making his theatrical debut. Plus, performances from Chelsea Basler, Brendan Shapiro, and Mary Kray.
