OPERA ON THE INTERNET
WITH
DAVE D’AGUANNO
A surge of
Verdi opera broadcasts highlights the internet radio schedules during the next
few days, starting on Friday (Nov. 23) with a LIVE performance from Munich of
his penultimate opera "Otello." Fans of tenor Jonas Kaufmann will
surely be interested in hearing their favorite tenor sing the difficult and
dramatic title role in this one.
Also on
Friday, Radio 3 (RAI) has scheduled a LIVE performance from Venice of one of
Verdi's other Shakespeare operas -- the earlier "Macbeth" with
baritone Luca Salsi singing the title role, as he seems to have been doing
recently in a few other productions of this opera.
Then on
Saturday, a potentially interesting performance of "Rigoletto" is
featured on Swedish Radio, direct from Stockholm.
A fourth
Verdi opera can then be heard on Sunday. Once again, the opera in question --
"I Due Foscari" -- is being broadcast LIVE from Munich.
Well, if
you'd prefer a little Handel instead, you can check out a broadcast on Saturday
of his 5-act opera "Teseo" (premiered in 1713), in a performance that
took place earlier this month in Vienna. This being his only opera that extends
to 5 acts, perhaps I shouldn't have said "a little Handel" in the
opening sentence of this paragraph!
Enjoy! --
And don't forget to "bundle up" for one of the coldest Thanksgiving
Days ever!
