OPERA ON THE INTERNET 
WITH  
DAVE  D' AGUANNO

Most internet radio stations this coming Saturday (January 23) will be broadcasting the October 31, 2015 performance of Wagner's "Tannhauser" which is actually the same performance that received its LIVE HD-transmission at that time.

As far as LIVE opera being aired this Saturday is concerned, Radio 3 (RAI) will be broadcasting a performance of Verdi's "Attila" direct from Bologna.

On Radio 4 (the Netherlands), it's a LIVE broadcast from Amsterdam of Handel's 3-act opera "Ariodante" which saw its first-ever performance in 1735.

Tomorrow evening at 7:25 pm, it's "Cav/Pag time" as the Met will be airing a LIVE performance of the Mascagni & Leoncavallo works.

Enjoy!
