OPERA ON THE INTERNET
WITH
DAVE D' AGUANNO
To wind up the year 2016 and to usher in the New Year, the Met has 3 broadcasts lined up for our listening enjoyment. First off, instead of a LIVE matinee broadcast on Saturday (January 31), the Met is offering the October 4, 2016 performance of Rossini's "L'Italiana in Algeri" with bass Ildar Abdrazakov as Mustafa. Later on Saturday, at 6:25 pm, the free LIVE audio-stream is of Gounod's "Romeo & Juliette" with tenor Vittorio Grigolo and soprano Diana Damrau as the star-crossed lovers. Then on Tuesday (January 3), it's Verdi's "Nabucco" (starring Placido Domingo) as a free LIVE audio-stream. Both the Gounod & the Verdi works are scheduled for HD-transmissions next month, "Nabucco" on January 7 and "Romeo & Juliette" on January 21, with basically the same casts that are featured in the upcoming broadcasts.
Also on Saturday, Radio 3 (RAI) is broadcasting the July 29, 2016 performance of Verdi's "Falstaff" from last summer's Verbier Opera Festival.
Another comedy by an Italian opera composer -- Donizetti's "Daughter of the Regiment" -- appears on the schedule of Swedish Radio. It's the March 18, 2016 performance of the work as heard in Lausanne.
Fans of 20th century opera need not despair, as BBC Radio 3 will be broadcasting a recent performance from London's Royal Opera House of Shostakovich's "The Nose." Plus, if you'd prefer to WATCH it instead, you can check out the YouTube link below which has the opera, complete with English subtitles.
