This Saturday, September 25, BBC Radio 3 resumes their regular Saturday
afternoon opera broadcasts by bringing us a performance from this past
summer's
Glyndebourne Festival of Britten's "Billy Budd." That's at 1 o'clock.
(www.bbc.co.uk/rdio3/)
Also at 1 p.m., there's a re-broadcast of this summer's "Medea in Corinto" by
Mayr (teacher of Donizetti) as performed in Munich.
(www.radio4.nl/)
Canada's CBC (also at 1) brings us Verdi's "Ernani" as performed this past
season at the Lyric Opera of Chicago. The cast features tenor Salvatore
Licitra
& soprano Sondra Radvanovsky, who are both frequent performers at the Met.
(www.cbc.ca/radio2/)
At the same time, Washington D.C.'s WETA is airing Verdi's "Simon Boccanegra"
starring Placido Domingo. This one derives from a performance this past summer
at London's Royal Opera House.
The "Big News" for some people may very well be Monday, September 27's Opening
Night at the Met, which will be streamed LIVE (& free!) at 8 p.m. The opera will be Wagner's "Das Rheingold" a future performance of which will be shown in
theaters on Oct. 9.(http://www.metoperafamily.org/metopera/broadcast/on_air.aspx)
Enjoy!
