OPERA ON THE INTERNET
WITH
DAVE D' AGUANNO
A week with 3 LIVE opera broadcasts from the MET is
certainly a cause for celebration. Starting tomorrow evening (Thursday, 1/9/14)
at 7:25, you can tune in to their FREE live audio-stream for a performance of
Donizetti's "L'Elisir d"Amore" with soprano Anna Netrebko once
again singing the role of Adina as she did last season in the Met's
HD-transmission of this work.
Then on Saturday -- as part of its regular rotation of
LIVE radio broadcasts -- there's more scintillating comic opera, this time
courtesy of good old Johann Strauss and his popular "Die Fledermaus"
(to be heard on many internet radio stations). Up-and-coming tenor Michael
Fabiano sings the role of Alfred, and baritone Paulo Szot (remember him in
"The Nose" earlier this season?) takes on the role of the clever Dr.
Falke.
Next Tuesday evening (January 14), Puccini's "La
Boheme" can be heard in the Met's LIVE audio-stream, an opera that is
probably familiar to most listeners and one that will be making its appearance
later this season as an HD-transmission (on April 5).
(www.metopera.org/)
Moving from popular operas like the 3 listed above,
opera fans who may be anxious to hear an opera by Claude Debussy that is NOT
"Pelleas & Melisande" may want to listen in to German Radio for a
performance from Gottingen (12/11/13) of his intriguing but (unfortunately)
unfinished opera "The Fall of the House of Usher" based on the fairly
well-known Poe short story.
(www.dradio.de/dkultur/)
Possibly even more obscure? "Cristiana, Regina di
Svezia" (by one Jacopo Foroni) will be broadcast on ORF this Saturday. The
performance itself took place this past November as part of the Wexford Opera
Festival. Tune in and you MIGHT be thinking that you're listening to a
long-lost opera of Donizetti !!!

Maria Callas
One of Mike Richter‘s most spectacular achievements was the remastering and digitization of the complete master classes conducted by Maria Callas at the Juilliard School in 1971-1972. Selections from his disc “Callas at Juilliard: The Master Classes”:
