‘Opry 100’ Producers Tell What to Expect From Country Music’s Superstars in the Three-Hour NBC Telecast
variety.comChris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic With “Opry 100: A Live Celebration” set to go out live tonight, producers of the show are offering a preview of the three-hour telecast — which doesn’t quite have a hundred performers to represent the Grand Ole Opry‘s 100 years, but may seem close enough to it by the time the three hours are up.
The show airs from 8-11 p.m. ET/PT on NBC and Peacock. Silent House, which is behind the conceptualizing and production many of today’s top arena and stadium tours (like Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour), is partnering with the Opry on the production.
Silent House’s Baz Halpin, Mark Bracco and Linda Gierahn, who recently won Emmys for “Carol Burnett: 90 Years of Laughter + Love,” are serving as executive producers on “Opry 100,” along with R.A.
Clark and Steve Buchanan. Gierahn and Bracco spoke with Variety during a time-out from rehearsals about what country fans can expect.
