OPERA IN CINEMA
Just in case you're not aware of it, the Jane Pickens Theatre in Newport has a few operas lined up for the next few months:
This Sunday (Jan. 9) at 1 p.m., there's Verdi's "La Traviata" from London's Royal Opera House, starring Renee Fleming. I believe this is soon-to-be-released on DVD, i.e. not LIVE on Jan. 9.
Others include:
Thursday, Jan. 20, at 2 p.m. - Mascagni's "Cavalleria Rusticana" & Leoncavallo's "Pagliacci" - LIVE from La Scala
Sunday, March 13, at 1 p.m. - Verdi's "Rigoletto" - (not LIVE -???) from Mantua, & starring Placido Domingo
Thursday, March 24, at 2 p.m. - Mozart's "Magic Flute" - LIVE from La Scala
Monday, June 13 - Verdi's "Macbeth" - LIVE from the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, & starring Simon Keenlyside
These, of course, are in addition to the Met's live series of HD-transmissions. This Saturday at 1 p.m.: Puccini's "Fanciulla del West"

This Saturday (Jan. 8), most radio stations on the internet will be airing the Met broadcast of Puccini's "Fanciulla del West" which is simultaneously being transmitted LIVE in certain area movie theatres.
Aside from that, there isn't much else, with the BBC delivering an archival performance of Mozart's "Cosi fan Tutte" (with Kiri Te Kanawa) & a few other stations "playing catch-up" (so to speak) by running broadcasts of a couple of Met performances from this season that have already been heard, such as December's "Don Carlo" by Verdi & last week's "Pelleas & Melisande" by Debussy -- both certainly worth a second hearing, at any rate!
Then on Monday, January 10, at 8 p.m. the Met is offering another of their free LIVE audio streams: This time it's Puccini's "Tosca" with Sondra Radvanovsky in the title role.
Point of interest: Ms Radvanovsky is currently scheduled to appear as Leonora in the Met's upcoming HD-transmission of Verdi's "Trovatore" later this season.
Enjoy!
