OPERA ON THE INTERNET
WITH
DAVE D’AGUANNO
Rossini
Opera Alert: Yes, it's that time of year when the annual Rossini Opera Festival
in Pesaro gets underway, and this year Radio 3 (RAI) has scheduled LIVE
broadcasts on Saturday, Sunday, and Tuesday, beginning with Saturday's
performance of "Ricciardo & Zoraide" (from 1818) -- one of his
lesser-known works perhaps, but with tenor Juan Diego Florez and soprano Pretty
Yende singing the title roles, it ought to be well worth any opera-lover's time
(IMO).
On
Sunday (August 12), the festival will be presenting a performance of Rossini's
one-act comic opera "Adina" (also from 1818), followed on Tuesday by
one of his best-known works: "Barber of Seville."
Aside
from the Rossini operas listed above, those of us who may opt for Verdi instead
might want to tune in on Saturday to German Radio for a broadcast of "I
Lombardi" in a performance which took place just last month in Heidenheim.
In
the meantime, NPR continues its series of broadcasts from Lyric Opera of
Chicago's 2017/2018 season with a February 2018 performance of Mozart's
"Cosi fan Tutte."
Enjoy!
DAVE
