OPERA ON THE INTERNET
WITH
DAVE D’AGUANNO
OperaVision
presents 2 opera video-streams this week, both of them being world premiere
performances. On Thursday, it's Gerard Pesson's "Trois Contes"
("3 Tales"). As the title suggests, it's really 3 short one-act
operas (along the lines of Puccini's "Il Trittico"), based on works
of Hans Christian Andersen, Marcel Proust, & Edgar Allan Poe.
Then on
Friday, American composer Mark Grey's new opera "Frankenstein" can be
seen, as performed in Brussels. In addition, I should mention that, in the
weeks ahead, OperaVision will be showing a performance from Bergen of
Massenet's "Werther" on March 22, and a performance of Verdi's
"Falstaff" on the 28th, the latter a Garsington Opera production from
last summer.
Those of you
who usually shy away from contemporary works may, instead, choose to listen to
a LIVE performance on Friday, direct from Toulouse, of Rimsky-Korsakov's
"The Maid of Pskov" -- an opera which he originally wrote in 1877 but
which didn't reach its final revised form until 1892.
Saturday
afternoon's Met broadcast is of Verdi's "Falstaff" which can be heard
on various internet radio stations.
At the same
time, there's a LIVE broadcast from Munich of Puccini's "La Fanciulla del
West" which, incidentally, will be receiving a FREE live video-stream
later this month (March 30).
You can
finish your unofficial "opera weekend" on Sunday with a LIVE
performance from Bologna of one of Rossini's best-loved comic operas: "The
Barber of Seville."
Enjoy!
DAVE
