OPERA ON THE INTERNET
WITH
DAVE D’AGUANNO
The first
weekend of November brings us a few repeat broadcasts (such as Wagner's
"Lohengrin" from this past summer's Bayreuth Festival -- on German
Radio), but there are also a few new items that may be of interest to most
opera-lovers. One of these (aside from the aforementioned
"Lohengrin") would certainly appeal to Wagner enthusiasts as BBC
Radio 3 will be broadcasting on Saturday (Nov. 3) a recent performance from the
Royal Opera House in London of "Die Walkure." Soprano Nina Stemme
sings the role of Brunnhilde in that one.
On Ireland's
radio station RTE Lyric FM, there's a recorded broadcast of another opera from
this year's Wexford Opera Festival. While last week's "Il Bravo" by
Saverio Mercadante was a prime example straight out of the bel canto era
(1830s), this Saturday's offering ushers us completely into the 21st century
with a performance of William Bolcom's latest opera "Dinner at Eight"
(2016) which is based on the hit Broadway play (from 1932) by George S. Kaufman
and Edna Ferber.
Aside from
the virtually unknown works of Mercadante, Pacini, etc., there also happens to
be an incredibly large opera work-list that can be attributed to the Croatian
composer Ivan Zajc whose 1876 opera "Nikola Subic Zrinski" can be
heard on Swedish Radio in a performance that took place in Zagreb on January 25
of this year. This particular opera is only one of over 20 that Zajc wrote
during his lifetime, and carries the opus number 430 ! -- But that's nothing
when you consider that his opus numbers extend all the way to 1202 !!!
And there's
yet another Croatian opera coming up in the days ahead. Thanks to OperaVision,
you can watch a LIVE video-stream on Tuesday (Nov. 6) of Jakov Gotovac's
"Ero the Joker" which premiered in 1935 and which has actually been
performed, since then, in every continent except Australia. This is another
performance from Zagreb, and it can be accessed for several weeks beyond its
Nov. 6 date.
Enjoy!
