30-Minute Music Hour: Vagabond Opera
From Portland, Ore., Vagabond Opera is an old world Yiddish Theater experience gone mad.

The group features trained operatic-tenor and soprano voices (one of whom plays musical saw), lyrics in 13 languages, and a repertoire that cuts like a buzz saw through Parisian jazz, Ukrainian folk and Klezmer traditions.
