OPERA ON THE INTERNET
WITH
DAVE D’AGUANNO
Fans of Russian opera, fans of the music of Modest
Mussorgsky, and fans of bass Ildar Abdrazakov have reason to rejoice as a LIVE
performance of "Boris Godunov" from Paris is being offered tomorrow (Thursday)
on Culturebox. Abdrazakov takes on the leading role in this performance which
(hopefully) will be available to us here in the U.S. in a video-stream.
Saturday (June 9) is, as usual, a big day for
opera-lovers, as several noteworthy opera broadcasts are on tap. One of these
will, no doubt, be of special interest to those of us who once upon a time
listened excitedly to the singing of legendary Swedish soprano Birgit Nilsson.
And so, Swedish Radio has once again dug into their archives and will be
presenting the May 14, 1965 performance from Stockholm of Richard Strauss's
powerful "Elektra" -- and with Ms Nilsson in the title role, the word
"powerful" can hardly be regarded as an exaggeration.
On German Radio, we are given a rare opportunity to listen to
the only opera which Danish composer Rued Langgaard ever composed, and it is
one which he worked on from 1921 until 1930, although it was never even
performed till many years after his death: "AntiKrist." This is a
LIVE performance from Mainz, and it may be of interest to those who enjoy
operas off-the-beaten-track that Langgaard's opera includes characters by the
name of "The Mouth That Speaks Big Words" and "The Echo of the
Mystery Mood." Well! Since this composer's music is essentially tonal, one
need not be put off by such strangeness, but "La Boheme" it ain't!
Another 20th century work -- Shostakovich's "Lady
Macbeth of Mtsensk" -- gets yet another airing. This time it's a LIVE
performance from Naples which can be heard on RAI Radio 3.
Perhaps coincidentally, another "Macbeth" opera is
scheduled for Saturday. In this case, it's Verdi's rather well-known
"Macbeth" which can be heard on Radio 3 (BBC) in a performance from
London (March 2018), and yes, it's superstar-soprano Anna Netrebko who can be
heard in the role of Lady Macbeth.
Enjoy!
