Falstaff
A production of Verdi's "Falstaff,"
updated to take place in 1950s-era London. The boorish Sir John Falstaff

OPERA ON THE INTERNET
WITH
DAVE D' AGUANNO
This coming Saturday afternoon (November 21),
opera-lovers who don't usually shy away from 20th century operas will probably
be interested in attending the LIVE HD-transmission from the Met of Berg's
"Lulu" which will be starting a half-hour earlier than usual
(approximately 12:30 pm), since the full 3-act version of the work will be
given at that time.
Another LIVE broadcast -- this one on internet
radio -- is a performance from Stockholm of Puccini's "La Boheme." As
usual with performances broadcast on Swedish Radio, this one should be
available for listening for several days after the live broadcast.

Tomorrow (November 19) Humperdinck's most
popular opera -- "Hansel & Gretel" -- will be performed at the
Vienna State Opera, and ORF (Austria) will be broadcasting that performance on
Saturday.
(http://oe1.orf.at/)
Last Saturday's performance from Paris of
Rossini's "Zelmira" can be heard this Saturday on French Radio.
(www.francemusique.fr/)
In case you missed it last summer, Wagner's
"Das Rheingold" will be aired on German Radio, the performance being
the one that took place this past July 27 in Bayreuth.
(www.dradio.de/dkultur/)
And in a lighter vein, Leonard Bernstein's
"Candide" (originally performed on Broadway in 1956) makes it onto
NPR's schedule for this Saturday. It's a performance from last summer's
Glimmerglass Opera Festival.

Enjoy!
