LISTED TIMES ARE GMT

A Word About Timings

All timings are listed in both Greenwich Mean Time and Eastern Daylight Time. Europe and North America are both on Daylight Time. For those of you who live in other time zones, you will need to make a calculation to derive the time of an event where you live. In North America subtract four (4) hours (from GMT) for the Eastern Time Zone, five (5) hours for the Central Time Zone, and six (6) hours for the Mountain Time Zone. Subtract seven (7) hours for the Pacific Time Zone, eight (8) hours for Alaska, and nine (9) hours for Hawaii. In UK, Ireland and Portugal add one (1) hour to GMT. In most of the rest of Europe add one (2) hours (some Eastern European countries are three (3) hours ahead of GMT). In the Southern Hemisphere, Australia and New Zealand are on Standard Time (Australia is 11 hours ahead of GMT; New Zealand is 13 hours ahead of GMT).

For those in the United States, it is useful to keep in mind that broadcasts in the evening hours often appear in the NEXT day's listings because they occur in the small hours in GMT time, which is our primary reference in the following listings.

For more information on time zone calculations, double click the time display on the lower right of your screen (if you are using a PC) to display the Time Zone tab, then click on the drop-down menu for a full list of time zones and their relationships to Greenwich Mean Time. You may also let the TIME CONVERTER do the calculations for you.

	0000 8:00PM	Evening at the Opera: Barry Gold presents Brünnhilde’s Journey Thru The Ring, Part One. Barry tells us “in a setting of gods, dwarfs, giants, dragons, and warrior maidens (Valkyries) on flying horses, Wagner has given us an epic tale of fear, love, betrayal, forgiveness, and redemption... all set to some of the most thrilling, passionate, and moving music ever. It's 'Der Ring des Nibelungen,' more commonly referred to as 'The Ring Cycle.' Navigating this world is the heroine and key protagonist, Brünnhilde, the head Valkyrie and favorite daughter of the the chief god, Wotan. She is the one who consistently grows in self-knowledge and understanding of others, grasps the complexities, and sees the big picture. And, in the end, she is the one who is willing to sacrifice her godly-powers for human love." Once a month, we program a complete opera, selecting a different recording for each act, and we welcome additional listener suggestions from the discography. During each program, we welcome listener calls at 203-268-9667 for requests and comments (4 hrs.)
