The Santa Fe Opera: Philip Gossett

Fri. 7/13 10a:  This summer, the Santa Fe Opera presents a newly-reconstructed edition of one of Gioachino Rossini's lost operas.   Maometto II opens on July 14 and runs through August 16.  Rossini scholar Philip Gossett has helped put together this new edition of the historical drama and host Spencer Beckwith talks with
Gossett outside in the Opera's cantina.

Spencer Beckwith reports on the arts for KUNM. For ten years, until March of 2014, Spencer was the producer and host of KUNM's "Performance New Mexico," a weekday morning arts program that included interviews with musicians, writers and performers. Spencer is a graduate of the acting program at the Juilliard School, and, before moving to New Mexico in 2002, was for many years a professional actor based in New York City.
