Seattle Opera and KING-FM have launched an opera program online at http://www.king.org that will feature a five-hour program available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Each program will offer music, interviews and special features, including full-length opera recordings from opera companies around the world, as well as educational aspects of opera and music history. The programs will change every two weeks.

"This new initiative will create a body of digital content that can be used to educate, entertain and engage opera loves of all ages," said Kelly Tweeddale, Seattle Opera executive director. The effort is part of Seattle Opera's goal of reaching new opera listeners through nontraditional distribution channels.
