Plans Outing
This Saturday
Norman Cordon, whose magnif
icent low notes sent him to the
heights of success as a Metropoli
tan opera star, is launching a new
radio series which will send opera
into homes in seven states via the
highest mountain range in East
ern America.
The radio series is called “Let’s
Listen To Opera”. Each program
features the score of an entire ope
ra, and Mr. Cordon’s com.ments
and personal recollections of the
glitter and the great he encounter
ed during his decade at the Met. It
will be broadca.st over the world’s
strongest FM outlet, 325,000-Watt
WMIT, whose studio on the Mount
Mitchell range in Western North
Carolina is the highest in Eastern
America. “Let’s Listen to Opera”
will originate over WMIT this Sun
day at 2:15 p.ni., and wall continue
each Sunday afternoon thereafter.
Although the WMIT operatic
series marks the first time that
operas in their entirely have been
broadcast over an FM station of
such power, acquainting the public
with opera and making it undei’-
standable to eveiwone is not a new
project for Mr. Cordon. Two years
ago, he began a weekly pi'ogram
“Let’s Listen to Opera” over the
University radio station, WUNC,
and its popularity resulted in the
search for a more powerful out
let.
Music and mountain tops w'ere
associated in his mind long before
WMIT was built as the first FM
station in the South. He has a stu
dio in his summer home at Lin-
ville, in the Blue Ridge of North
Carolina, where he rehearsed his
operatic roles. For more tnan 15
years he has appeared at the
“Singing On The Mountain” on
nearby Grandfather Mountain to
lead a crowd of up to 30,000 in the
singing of “Rock of Ages.”
Next summer, he will drive the
53 miles from Linviile to Mount
Mitchell each Sunday to broadcast
“Let’s Listen to Opera” directly
from WMIT’s high-altitude studio.
Until then, he w'ill originate the
program in the auxiliary studios in
Charlotte, from which it will be
beamed to Mount Mitchell for
broadcasting from the 161-foot
sending tower. A 1953 survey show
ed that some 250,000 homes in the
seven states reached by WMIT had
FM sets on which the station could
' be received.
