OPERA ON THE INTERNET WITH DAVE D'AGUANNO

First off, a reminder that the Met is generously providing us with a FREE audio stream of this Thursday night's performance of Bizet's "Carmen" at 8 p.m. Elina Garanca -- surely one of the greatest Carmens of all time! -- sings the title role.

And next Tuesday (November 9) you can catch the Met's live performance of Mozart's "Cosi fan Tutte." That's at 8 o'clock once again, & free!

On Saturday (November 6) at 1 o'clock, you can catch a fairly recent performance (from Houston Grand Opera) of another Mozart favorite: "Don Giovanni" -- That's on WRTI.

Also at 1, Canada's CBC Radio 2 is broadcasting Donizetti's "Maria Stuarda" as performed by the Canadian Opera Company (May 2010).

Then at 1:45, the BBC brings us a performance of Gounod's "Romeo & Juliette" from London's Royal Opera House, Covent Garden.

Yet another "Carmen" will be streamed on internet radio, this one being an October 1 performance from Barcelona, to be heard on Deutschland Radio Kultur, at 3 p.m.

Kurt Weill's "Mahagonny" (recently heard in a performance from Madrid) turns up once again at 3:30, this time coming to us on ORF from Vienna (10/15/10).
