OPERA ON THE INTERNET
WITH
DAVE D' AGUANNO
On
Saturday afternoon (January 20), many internet radio stations will be carrying
a pre-recorded broadcast from the Met of Massenet's "Thais."
Bel
canto enthusiasts, on the other hand, may prefer to tune in to Swedish Radio
for a performance of Donizetti's "Maria Stuarda" which took place in
Rome on March 22 of last year.
For
those of you who simply can't get enough of Puccini's "La Boheme" you
can access Radio 3 (RAI) on Friday (Jan. 19) for a LIVE performance of the work
from Bologna.
And
for those of you who can't get enough of Wagner's Ring Cycle, you'll probably
want to watch the LIVE video-stream on Monday (Jan. 22) of "Die
Walkure." Soprano Nina Stemme takes on the role of Brunnhilde in this
performance, coming to us direct from the Bavarian State Opera in Munich.
Later
on the same day, the Met will be presenting a FREE live audio-stream of Verdi's
"Il Trovatore" beginning at 7:25 p.m.
Enjoy!
