August: Osage County, the Second

Rich Copley describes “Falstaff” as “a funny opera, best known for tragedy and anguish.”  In preparation for this weekend’s performance at the University of Kentucky, the arts and culture reporter explains how Giuseppe Verdi managed that.  Also, he talks about central Kentucky’s “first family of string music.”   The Herald Leader reporter also previews the second performance in Lexington, within five months, of “August, Osage County.”
