OPERA ON THE INTERNET
WITH
DAVE D’AGUANNO
OperaVision has two operas available for video-streaming this
week, beginning with today's performance from the Polish National Opera of
Ludomir Rozycki's 1916 opera "Eros & Psyche." If you happen to be
too late to catch this one from the beginning, you can always access it later
on, since it will be available for viewing till some time in August.
The other offering from OperaVision is the LIVE performance
from Berlin on Friday (March 23) of Offenbach's
"Bluebeard." Those of you who are familiar with this composer's other
zany works (such as "La Belle Helene" & "La Vie
Parisienne") will know what to expect with this one.
In the meantime, tomorrow (Thursday) there are two
opera performances being broadcast that are worth mentioning, one of them being
the LIVE performance from Madrid of Verdi's "Aida."
Also on Thursday, the Met is offering a free LIVE
audio-stream of Donizetti's "Lucia di Lammermoor" with Vittorio
Grigolo in the leading tenor role of Edgardo.
As usual, the Met's Saturday matinee performance
on March 24 is available for listening on several internet radio
stations. The opera this week is none other than Puccini's
"Turandot."
If you'd rather take in yet another Verdi opera instead,
there's a performance of "Rigoletto" on Swedish Radio, direct from
Malmo.
On Radio 3 (RAI) there's a LIVE performance of Beethoven's
"Fidelio" -- coming to us from Naples.
For some unknown reason (unknown to me, that is), we seem to be
in the midst of a Gottfried von Einem revival (of sorts). Last week, his opera
"The Visit of the Old Woman" was broadcast on ORF (Austria),
and this Saturday the same radio station will be broadcasting a LIVE
performance from Vienna of his 1947 opera "Dantons Tod"
("Danton's Death") which also, incidentally, is available for
purchase as a video.
Enjoy!
