The Peabody Opera House Unveils with Preview of Prohibition Documentary, 09/19/11

Eleven gives you VIP access to the Peabody Opera House, from the Nine Network’s preview of the new Ken Burns and Lynn Novick 3-part, 6-hour documentary Prohibition, which airs Sunday–Tuesday, October 2–4 at 7PM on Nine PBS (with immediate replay at 9PM); repeats October 4–6 at 1AM and at 3AM; and October 9, 16 and 23 at 2PM.

Ken Burns so eloquently introduced their work (paraphrased):

You just can’t do The Civil War
… Mark Twain
… Lewis & Clark
… Jazz
… Baseball
… The National Parks
… Prohibition
without St. Louis.

Amen, Ken Burns.

And here’s the Peabody Opera House.

Many thanks to the Nine Network, especially Juard van Dijkhorst, for their amazing service as public media to the St. Louis region; to the Peabdoy Opera House, especially Darren Hall, for opening its doors again and for opening them to Eleven on multiple occasions already; and to The Able Few and Hughes for a phenomenally informative website.
