Great Performances at the Met
Giuseppi Verdi's
FALSTAFF
An undisputed master of Verdi's final comic masterpiece, James Levine conducts Robert Carsen's acclaimed production, the first new Met Falstaff since 1964. Ambrogio Maestri sings the role of the blustery Sir John Falstaff, opposite a marvelous ensemble cast.

OPERA ON THE INTERNET
WITH
DAVE D' AGUANNO
This coming Saturday (March 7), most internet
radio stations will be broadcasting the LIVE performance from the Met of
Bizet's "Carmen" with Elina Garanca reprising the role she performed
in the HD-transmission of this opera a few years ago. This time around, her
tenor colleague is Jonas Kaufmann. (Please note, however, that Kaufmann had to
cancel a performance earlier this week due to illness, so there might be
another singer singing the role of Don Jose on Saturday.)
On ORF (Austria), there's a broadcast of
Tuesday night's performance at the Vienna State Opera of what can safely be
considered Halevy's most popular opera: "La Juive." If you care to
spend about $18.00, you might want to watch the LIVE video-stream of this same
opera that will become available on the opera company's website.
On the other hand, the Met has two FREE live
audio-streams on their schedule over the course of the next few days. First,
there's Offenbach's "Tales of Hoffmann" tomorrow evening (Thursday)
with tenor Matthew Polenzani in the title role (whereas Vittorio Grigolo sang
it in the recent HD-transmission). Then, on Monday (March 9), you can listen to
the LIVE performance of Massenet's "Manon" with soprano Diana Damrau
and Grigolo himself in the leading roles.
Enjoy!
