OPERA ON THE INTERNET
WITH
DAVE D’AGUANNO
Two of the major European summer festivals begin this week,
and Wagner enthusiasts may once again listen to a series of broadcasts from the
annual Wagner festival in Bayreuth, beginning today with the LIVE broadcast of
"Lohengrin." The link below provides information regarding the operas
to be heard over the next few days, including links to the various internet
radio stations that will be transmitting these broadcasts. There are also sure
to be repeat broadcasts in the coming weeks.
This summer's opera festival in Salzburg also gets underway
with a broadcast on Friday (July 27) of Mozart's "Magic Flute" which
can be heard on ORF (Austria).
Then on Saturday, Medici-TV will be providing us with a LIVE
video-stream (also from Salzburg) of "Salome" by Richard Strauss.
Perhaps not as well-known as the Bayreuth and Salzburg opera
venues during the summer months, there's also the annual festival in Bad
Wildbad which usually features the works of Rossini and his contemporaries.
This Saturday, it's a LIVE broadcast of Rossini's "Moise &
Pharaon" which is his own re-working of the earlier "Mose in
Egitto" -- this one, however, is sung in French and features an impressive
ballet sequence, not found in the earlier piece.
Then on Sunday, you can hear a performance from this
summer's opera festival in Martina Franca, the opera being Handel's
"Rinaldo" which Radio 3 (RAI) will be broadcasting LIVE.
Enjoy!
DAVE
