OPERA ON THE INTERNET
WITH
DAVE D' AGUANNO
Last weekend, listeners were given an opportunity to
listen to this past summer's performance from London's Royal Opera House of
Massenet's "Werther" (with Grigolo & DiDonato). This coming
Saturday (October 15), another performance from London comes to us, this time
around in the form of one of the greatest Russian operas in the repertory:
Mussorgsky's "Boris Godunov." This July 16, 2016 performance features
Bryn Terfel in the title role and can be heard on ORF (Austria).
Opera written by Italian composers will probably be of
special interest to most listeners this weekend, especially those with a
particular fondness for the operas of Gaetano Donizetti. However, not too many
of his admirers are very familiar with his 1834 opera "Rosmonda
d'Inghilterra" (unless you happen to have the CD recording with Renee
Fleming, that is). This opera -- written after "L'Elisir d'Amore" but
before "Maria Stuarda" -- can be heard in a LIVE performance from
Florence on Radio 3 (RAI).
NPR continues its series of performances from the San
Francisco Opera's 2015/2016 season with a broadcast of Verdi's "Don
Carlo" as performed by that opera company this past June.
Rossini's "William Tell" -- his last opera
and certainly one of his best (and longest!!) -- can be heard on Tuesday
(October 18) at 6:25 pm on the Met's FREE live audio-stream.
Enjoy!
