OPERA ON THE INTERNET
WITH
DAVE D’AGUANNO
The first
Saturday of the New Year brings us a LIVE matinee broadcast from the Met of
Verdi's "Otello." Scheduled to sing the title role is tenor Stuart
Skelton, with soprano Sonya Yoncheva as Desdemona and baritone Zeljko Lucic as
Iago.
On the other
hand, you can catch a LIVE broadcast from Warsaw of Polish composer Stanislaw
Moniuszko's most famous opera "Halka" (premiered in 1854).
At the same
time, Radio 3 (RAI) is transmitting a performance from June 2018 of Pietro
Mascagni's most famous work: "Cavalleria Rusticana." This particular
broadcast from Palermo is noteworthy, however, in bringing us a rare
opportunity to hear one of the few non-operatic works ever composed by
Mascagni. Actually it's a very early example of film music; in this case, the
composer ended up writing the music for the silent film "Rapsodia
Satanica" which was produced in 1915.
Two opera
broadcasts worth mentioning on Sunday (Jan. 6) are the LIVE video-stream from
Munich of Bedrich Smetana's most famous opera "The Bartered Bride" +
the December 12, 2018 performance from Paris of Ambroise Thomas's
"Hamlet."
("Bartered
Bride" - https://www.staatsoper.de/en/productioninfo/die-verkaufte-braut/2019-01-06-18-00.html)
("Hamlet"
- www.francemusique.fr/)
Enjoy! --
And Happy New Year !!
