Canadian tenor Ben Heppner; Rantoul Theatre Group

Canadian tenor Ben Heppner is one of the great voices of our time, renowned for his roles in the massive operas of Wagner and Strauss. But he also sings smaller-scale music that might surprise you. Ben Heppner will give a recital in Urbana Thursday night, and he'll be my guest on the Wednesday edition of "Live and Local." I'll also welcome members of the Rantoul Theatre Group, who will preview their upcoming production of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.
