Since its beginning, the live stage performances have always been in the classical genre, from professional opera companies to student groups.

This year's lineup includes orchestras from Fort Worth ISD, university ensembles, the Grammy Award-winning Texas Boys Choir and the Singing Girls of Texas, plus favorite arias from the Fort Worth Opera, who will also perform a full family-friendly opera called Frida Kahlo and the Bravest Girl in the World.

You'll, you'll hear it next on the James Show, News Talk 820 and 93.3 FM WBAP.

The last people we should be asking about school reform is elementary school children, and some people think that's dumb.

The lawsuit comes one month after Republican County Commissioners approved Ludwig's list that eliminated 92 of the sites used in the 2022 midterms.
