OPERA ON THE INTERNET
WITH
DAVE D' AGUANNO
Opera-lovers certainly have a lot to be
thankful for during this weekend after Thanksgiving.
New York's Metropolitan Opera has even given
us a chance to kick things off a little bit early, by featuring a LIVE
performance of Verdi's "Aida" on their free audio-stream on Friday
evening at 7:25. Tenor Roberto Alagna, however, will not be singing on Friday,
although he IS scheduled to take the role of Radames when the HD-transmission
is given on December 15.
(www.metopera.org)
Verdi enthusiasts get another enticing
offering on Saturday, when NPR broadcasts the Houston Grand Opera's performance
of "Don Carlos" (from last season in April).
(www.wrti.org/)
More Verdi comes to us via Swedish Radio when
his slightly earlier opera "Un Ballo in Maschera" may be heard in a
recent performance from Stockholm.
(http://sverigesradio.se/p2/)
From Verdi to Bellini: French Radio is
broadcasting a performance that took place in Paris on November 16, the opera
in question being "I Puritani."
(http://sites.radiofrance.fr/francemusique/accueil/)
Moving briefly into 20th century territory,
English National Opera's current production of "Pilgrim's Progress"
(which composer Ralph Vaughan Williams completed in 1951) can be heard LIVE on
BBC Radio 3.
(www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/)
Your Obscure Opera of the Week comes, courtesy
of Klara (in Belgium) with a performance that took place in Liege this past
September, the opera being an early piece (from 1837) by composer Cesar Franck
who's usually not known for his operatic works, although he went on later in life
to write two others ("Hulda" & "Ghiselle"). As
incredible as this may sound, a video of this performance may soon become
available on DVD.
(http://radio.klara.be/radio/10_home.php)
Last but not least: If anyone out there is
wild about Wagner's "Das Rheingold," you're going to have to make a
tough decision this Saturday: the performance from Amsterdam on Radio 4 (the
Netherlands)? Or the same opera but with a different cast, etc. as given in
Berlin (actually tomorrow night's performance in a delayed broadcast on
Saturday)?
(www.radio4.nl/) or (www.dradio.de/dkultur/)
In the meantime, here's hoping that everyone
has a wonderful Thanksgiving !!!
DAVE
