Alas, there's no opera on WGBH this week. Waiting for the Met season to begin is like waiting through the endless month of March for Spring to begin!

OPERA ON THE INTERNET WITH DAVE D'AGUANNO
This Saturday, September 18, the usual mixture of the popular & the rarely performed will be on tap on internet radio stations.
For example, the ever-popular "La Boheme" comes to us at 1 o'clock in a Sept. 6th performance from the Vienna State Opera.
(www.dradio.de/dkultur/)
Also at 1, there's a performance from Madrid of Graun's "Montezuma." That's on Netherlands Radio 4.
(www.radio4.nl/)
More Puccini comes our way (also at 1) via WRTI, with the San Francisco Opera's "Il Trittico" featuring soprano Patricia Racette in all three leading soprano roles, a feat that she also performed at the Met this past season.
(www.wrti.org/)
At 1:30, French Radio brings out a Paris Opera-Comique performance from last April of "Mignon" by Ambroise Thomas.

If, instead, you'd rather listen to some Russian opera at 1:30, you can catch Tchaikovsky's "Eugene Onegin" in a performance from Vienna that took place on 6/5/10.
(www.nrk.no/p2/)
Then at 2 p.m., again from the Vienna State Opera, there's a recent performance of Massenet's "Manon" being broadcast on Belgium's Klara radio station. That one features Diana Damrau & RamonVargas.

Certainly there's more in store for us this weekend. If you're interested, be sure to check out www.operacast.com later in the week.
Enjoy!
