OPERA ON THE INTERNET
WITH
DAVE D’AGUANNO
Starting tomorrow (Thursday, June 28), there are numerous
opera broadcasts worth noting, one of which is the LIVE performance being
transmitted on BR-Klassik of Wagner's "Parsifal" from Munich. With
tenor Jonas Kaufmann in the title role, soprano Nina Stemme as Kundry, and bass
Rene Pape as Gurnemanz, you can hardly go wrong here.
Also scheduled for tomorrow is the video-stream on Opera
Vision of Offenbach's "Tales of Hoffmann" -- this one, coming to us
from Amsterdam and remaining available for viewing for the next several months.
Then on Friday, it's time for the active young soprano
Sonya Yoncheva to take on the role of Imogene in Bellini's "Il
Pirata." With superstars from the past, such as Maria Callas and
Montserrat Caballe, having excelled in this role, Ms Yoncheva is being given
the daunting task of possibly convincing us that she deserves to be mentioned
in the same breath as those other incredible performers. This relatively early
Bellini opera can be heard on Radio 3 (RAI) in a LIVE performance from La
Scala.
Saturday afternoon brings us yet another broadcast of
Janacek's "From the House of the Dead." This time around it's a
performance from London's Royal Opera House which can be heard on Radio 3
(BBC).
And in case you missed it the first time around, you can
hear Verdi's "Don Carlos" on ORF (Austria) in a performance that took
place in Paris this past October 16, with tenor Jonas Kaufmann in the title
role, Sonya Yoncheva as Elisabeth, and Elina Garanca as Eboli.
Enjoy!
