OPERA ON THE INTERNET
WITH 
DAVE D’AGUANNO

This coming Saturday (July 7), OperaVision is offering a video-stream of Donizetti's "Lucia di Lammermoor" in a recent performance from Madrid. As always with this website, the video will be available for several months afterwards.

If Wagner happens to be your composer-of-choice on Saturday, you may want to tune in to Radio 3 (BBC) for a performance from last month of "Lohengrin." This recent production was presented at London's Royal Opera House.

Then on Sunday, there's even more Wagner on hand, with the LIVE video-stream from Munich of "Parsifal." This one features the same cast that was heard a short while back (audio-only), namely Jonas Kaufmann as Parsifal, Nina Stemme as Kundry, and Rene Pape as Gurnemanz.

Two of the operas being performed at this summer's Aix-en-Provence Festival make their appearance on French Radio's schedules for Monday & Tuesday, with a LIVE performance of Mozart's "Magic Flute" being available on Monday, followed by the world premiere of Czech composer Ondrej Adamek's opera "Seven Stones." To whet one's appetite, it has been announced that 2 video-streams from this same festival are scheduled for later this month: namely, Richard Strauss's "Ariadne auf Naxos" on July 11 and Prokofiev's "Fiery Angel" on July 15.

Enjoy!

DAVE
