OPERA ON THE INTERNET WITH DAVE D'AGUANNO


For those of you who may not be attending this Saturday's live HD-transmission from the Met of Donizetti's comic masterpiece "Don Pasquale" (featuring Anna Netrebko), you won't have to miss out on your weekly/daily opera fix, as there's plenty to be heard on internet radio this weekend.
 
Wagner's "The Flying Dutchman" turns up TWICE on Saturday's schedule.
One is a LIVE performance from Berlin, starting at 1 p.m. (www.dradio.de/dkultur/)
The other one derives from a performance last April from the Canadian Opera Company (also at 1 p.m.)
 
At the same time, WRTI is broadcasting the Houston Grand Opera's take on Britten's "The Turn of the Screw" from a performance this past January.
 
At 1:30, BBC Radio 3 is bringing us a performance from last month of "Ariadne auf Naxos" by Richard Strauss, from the Welsh National Opera.
 
If you'd rather listen to some Mozart, you have two choices:
At 1:30, there's a performance from Vienna of his rarely heard "La Finta Giardiniera" (delayed broadcast of this Friday's performance)  (http://oe1.orf.at/)
Or you might want to tune in to Belgium's Klara radio station for the Flemish National Opera's October 10th performance of "The Abduction from the Seraglio."
 
Happy Listening!
