Great Performances

With a well-established track record, the Great Performances series on PBS continues to offer a host of very compelling broadcasts ranging from dance recitals to musical theater. This well-thought-out website allows visitors to learn about the program schedule, offer their own feedback on the programs, and, most importantly, view a host of multimedia presentations related to the programs themselves. These features include a companion to the production of "Candide" by Leonard Bernstein and the "Name the Strauss Tune" feature, where visitors may test their knowledge of his music through a short musical quiz. The rest of the site is divided into six sections, dedicated to each of the "lively arts" that Great Performances explores in each season. The cinema area is a good place to browse around in, and visitors can learn about some of their most recent programs, including the behind-the-scenes look into the 1961 film "The Misfits" and a special on that legendary animator, Chuck Jones. The Dialogue area is also worth a look as it contains archived interviews with artists and performers such as Renee Fleming, Bryn Terfel, and Andrea Bocelli.
