OPERA ON THE INTERNET 
WITH  
DAVE  D' AGUANNO


The final LIVE matinee broadcast from the Met for the current season will take place this coming Saturday with a performance of Mozart's "Abduction from the Seraglio" which can be heard on various internet radio stations.

Other LIVE broadcasts include a performance of Debussy's "Pelleas & Melisande" from the Malmo Opera, which can be heard on Swedish Radio and can be accessed for several days after the actual broadcast.

On French Radio, there's a broadcast of the April 1, 2016 performance from Lyons of Halevy's "La Juive."

Radio 4 (the Netherlands) has scheduled Wagner's "Parsifal" as performed in Stockholm this past March.

Those who are interested in getting a head-start on their opera-listening for the weekend can tune in to Radio 3 (RAI) on Friday for a LIVE broadcast from Venice of Donizetti's "La Favorite."

Opera fans who thrive on LIVE opera videos and/or the operas of Puccini will probably want to check out the TWO performances of "Tosca" that are being video-streamed from Genoa this week. The first one takes place today! -- But if this information comes to you too late, the second video-stream is being offered on Saturday, with a difference in casting for the soprano & tenor leads.

Enjoy!
