To be shown at THE JANE PICKENS THEATER, Newport

Carmen - one of the most popular operas of all time - is broadcast LIVE from Barcelona with an all-star cast in a new production. The thrilling story tells of the fatal attraction between Carmen, the hot-blooded gypsy with French mezzo soprano Beatrice Uria-Monzon as Carmen, and Roberto Alagna as Don José, the upstanding corporal in the Spanish army. Don't miss this opera classic.

OPERA ON THE INTERNET WITH DAVE D'AGUANNO
This coming Saturday (Oct. 16), we'll be served the usual mix of the familiar & the unfamiliar, the old & the new.
The Dutch station Radio 4 brings us a performance of Reisopera's current production of Wagner's "Die Walkure." The opera starts at 1 o'clock, & being one by Wagner, ends (much) later in the afternoon.
(http://www.radio4.nl/)
Also at 1, BBC Radio 3 is broadcasting "Salome" by Richard Strauss, as performed at London's Royal Opera House this past July.
(www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/)
Even more Richard Strauss is on tap at 1:30, when Austrian Radio airs a performance from Vienna (10/9/10) of "Ariadne auf Naxos."
(http://oe1.orf.at/)
French Radio is broadcasting a LIVE performance (from the Paris Opera) of the 3 one-act Puccini operas comprising "Il Trittico."
(http://sites.radiofrance.fr/francemusique/accueil/)
At the same time, a 1992 Berlin performance of Busoni's rarely heard "Die Brautwahl" can be heard on Deutschland Radio Kultur.
(www.dradio.de/dkultur/)
Also, a reminder that the Met continues to provide free audio streams on a weekly basis. Coming up on Wednesday, Oct. 20, at 8 p.m. is Puccini's "La Boheme" (live from the Met). Just go to www.metopera.org & follow the links provided by "Watch & Listen."
