Here's your local news at a glance for Tuesday, the 28th of October.
Good morning, Norfolk.
🎭 Culture
This Saturday at 1 p.m., WHRO-FM will broadcast Wagner’s Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg live from Bayreuth Festival with leading performances by Georg Zeppenfeld, Michael Spyres, and Christina Nilsson — an event that highlights the opera’s intricate vocal and orchestral scores.
The broadcast will allow Norfolk listeners to experience the rich tradition of Wagner’s classic work.
🏛️ Government
Christopher Newport University's Wason Center poll conducted from Oct.
21 to 23 shows that governor candidate Abigail Spanberger leads Winsome Earle Sears by seven percentage points among likely voters while 6% remain undecided. The survey also shows that contests for lieutenant governor and attorney general have tightened, with Jason Miyares now slightly ahead amid a text controversy.
VDOT announced the opening of the new South Trestle has been postponed after workers found that necessary safety work was not complete, delaying the planned 5 a.m. start on Sunday.
The delay gives Hampton Roads Connector Partners more time to finish the work—drivers are urged to slow down near the active construction zone.
