OPERA ON THE INTERNET
WITH
DAVE D' AGUANNO
This
coming Saturday (September 21), the autumn season begins with the broadcast of
two operas by Richard Wagner. For those of you who just can't get enough of
this composer's Ring cycle, Radio 4 (the Netherlands) is broadcasting a LIVE
performance from Amsterdam of the 3rd opera in the tetralogy: "Siegfried."
(www.radio4.nl/)
For a change of pace -- even for Wagner enthusiasts -- BBC Radio 3 is digging into its archives to present a 1976 performance (from Manchester) of this same composer's early opera "Das Liebesverbot." Based on Shakespeare's "Measure for Measure" and being a work that Wagner himself reputedly had little use for, you may end up being surprised at what I consider to be the generally high quality of the work. Check it out!
(www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/)
Moving back into the 18th century, Franz Josef Haydn's 1779 opera "La Vera Costanza" is being aired this weekend on German Radio, as performed on August 31 of this year by a regional German opera theatre.
(www.dradio.de/dkultur/)
And even 20th century opera gets its place on the schedule, as Britten's "Billy Budd" gets a LIVE broadcast from Goteborg (Sweden).

Carmen
(Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour)
Performed on Sydney Harbour, Australia
Details
Conducted by Brian Castles-Onion
Directed by Gale Edwards
Choreographed by Kelley Abbey
Starring Rinat Shaham, Dmytro Popov, and Andrew Jones
Sung in French
2 hrs 40 mins including one intermission
OVERVIEW
Carmen
Georges Bizet | Opera in Four Acts Sung in French | Estimated running time 160 minutes including one intermission
from Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour, Sydney, Australia
Sydney Harbour is ablaze with a new kind of spectacle featuring one of the most popular operas of all time, Carmen. This glittering new production brings all the drama and passion of Bizet’s opera to a magical stage under the stars, with the Sydney skyline as its backdrop.
Carmen tells the story of the naive soldier Don Josè who falls under the spell of Carmen, an alluring gypsy. Bizet's rousing overture, soaringarias and heart-stirring choruses conjure a world of desire, defiance and, ultimately, doom. Sydney
Morning Herald raves: Dmytro Popov is a “superb” Don José and the “scintillating” Rinat Shaham stars as the glamorous gypsy (The Australian).
