Utopia Limited, by Gilbert and Sullivan, is a 19th-century comic opera in 2 cds. The whole performance, all  the dialog and the tunes run just shy of 2.5 hours.

NOW LISTEN.
HOW TO HEAR IT: 

Option one, live, with others: I have reserved the Clark Hall Conference Room (#205) between Th. Feb. 15.
The opera will be played in its entirety, and all I need is a kind volunteer to get the CDs from me in class, then retrieve the key to the room from the Help Desk about 6:45 Thursday, open up the room, and put the cds into the cd/dvd player. The room holds 20.

Option two, on you computer via mp3 files.  Go here: http://english.chass.ncsu.edu/morillo/hon293a/UtopiaLTD/
select Disc 1 for the first 19 tracks, and Disc 2 for the next.  Each file has been converted to mp3 format and should be easily playable on any mp3 player, including Quicktime & most players built into your computer's OS. You may also batch download all of the files to a player, but if you click each they will play directly from the server space.
