Nathan Gunn has effectively become the voice of American opera through his participation in so many new works, and although his robust and slightly monochromatic voice rings more with a Broadway-tinged spirit of good health than with anything approaching obsession, he is a reliable presence.

THE NEW YORK TIMES: "Sidelined for almost two full seasons by illnesses and injuries serious enough to warrant concern that he would never conduct again, Mr. Levine silenced doubters during a concert for the ages with the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra at Carnegie Hall in May."

OPERA ON THE INTERNET
WITH
DAVE D' AGUANNO
This coming Saturday (October 19) represents
another something-for-everybody type of schedule. For example, Mozart
enthusiasts get another chance to listen to this past summer's Salzburg
Festival performance of "Cosi fan Tutte" which can be heard on ORF (Austria).
(http://oe1.orf.at/)
For those of you who'd prefer to take advantage of the relatively rare opportunity to hear Gluck's "Armide" (from 1777), Radio 4 (the Netherlands) has it on the schedule, as this opera was recently performed in Amsterdam.
(www.radio4.nl/)
NPR, on the other hand, is continuing its series of broadcasts of operas performed last season at the San Francisco Opera, by presenting a June 2013 performance of Offenbach's "Tales of Hoffmann" with tenor Matthew Polenzani featured in the title role. Those of you who frequently attend the Met's HD-transmissions will be familiar with the excellence of this tenor's voice, since he was seen last season in Donizetti's "L'Elisir d'Amore" and "Maria Stuarda."
(www.wrti.org/)
Moving into the 20th century, we have Britten's final opera -- "Death in Venice" -- to be heard in a LIVE performance by Opera North (Leeds).
(www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/)
And -- moving into the 21st century -- the Met is offering interested listeners a chance to tune in to their free LIVE audio-stream on Mondayevening (October 21) for the premiere performance in New York City of Nico Muhly's 2011 opera "Two Boys."

Enjoy!
