Great Performances at the Met
LA
BOHEME
LA BOHEME - Puccini's moving story of young love is
the most performed opera in Met history -- and with good reason. Anita Hartig
stars as the frail Mimi, in Franco Zeffirelli's classic production, with
Vittorio Grigolo as her passionate lover, Rodolfo.

Vittorio Grigolo jokes “I’m a sex addict”

OPERA ON THE INTERNET
WITH
DAVE D' AGUANNO
. Tchaikovsky's final opera --
"Iolanta" -- was performed this past season at the Met (as many of
you already know), and it now turns up on the schedule for thiscoming
Saturday (July 11), as RAI brings us a performance of the work from this summer's
opera festival in Aix-en-Provence.
Then there's Massenet's final opera --
"Cleopatre" -- which can be heard on ORF in a performance that took
place in Paris on November 18 of last year. Mezzo-soprano Sophie Koch
sings the title role, as she did in Salzburg a few seasons back.
And then there's Rossini's final opera --
"William Tell" -- to be presented in a LIVE performance from London's
Royal Opera House. You'll have to wait tillTuesday (July 14) for that one,
however.
The music of Neapolitan composer Niccolo Jommelli, who
composed well over 60 operas during his lifetime, gets a chance to be heard on
German Radio as a performance from Stuttgart (given on February 19, 2015) comes
to us, the opera being his 1766 work entitled "Berenike -- Konigin von
Armenien."
On more familiar territory, Puccini's ever-popular
"Tosca" is the featured opera on NPR, this being the final opera to
be presented in their series of broadcasts from this past season at Lyric Opera
of Chicago.
One final note: "Arabella" (Richard Strauss)
will be given in a LIVE video-streamthis Saturday, via Munich's Bavarian State
Opera. English subtitles should be provided for this one, but you'll have to
watch it LIVE, as it will not be available for viewing afterwards.
Enjoy!
DAVE
