Classical Music In popular Culture

---

Many current, popular entertainers and composers borrowed themes from the world of classical music and included it or incorporated it as part of their work. Some of the pieces you will recognize, I am sure. Others may surprise you. This program may give you a better appreciation of the importance of the classical masterworks from years gone by. Remember, good music doesn't have an expiration date.

There are so many examples of how classical music has become part of our lives, there has to be a second program on this topic. It is indicative of how important these classical music pieces are, and the influence that the composers from many years ago, still have in our lives today. 

There are so many examples of this that there has to be a third program because these are always interesting and fun.  We can’t seem to have enough of it. Why don’t we let that “wascallywabbit”, Bugs Bunny, and his pal, Elmer Fudd, get us started with this clip as they define what real opera is all about. Hey - “What’s Opera, Doc?”
