While opera companies struggle, "Yardbird" set to sing again.

Some good news from the world of small opera: Opera Philadelphia and the Apollo Theater today announced that "Yardbird" will rise to sing again. The opera about Charlie Parker will become the first-ever opera to be performed at the Apollo Theater when Opera Philadelphia brings the original cast -- including the acclaimed tenor Lawrence Brownlee in the title role and Angela Brown as his mother, Addie -- to New York on April 1 and 3.
