OPERA ON THE INTERNET
WITH 
DAVE D’AGUANNO

If you happen to be particularly fond of the operas of Mozart, the next few days are bound to please! First off, on Thursday, Radio 3 (RAI) will be broadcasting a LIVE performance from Palermo of "Idomeneo." Since the Teatro Massimo in Palermo has been streaming several of their recent opera productions on YouTube, you might want to look around the YouTube site on Thursday afternoon just in case a FREE video-stream of this opera performance is available.

Then on Saturday, the Met's matinee broadcast will be of Mozart's later opera "La Clemenza di Tito." Appearing in the cast are Matthew Polenzani as Tito and Joyce Di Donato as Sesto.

There's also some prime Wagner available as Radio 4 (the Netherlands) will be offering a delayed broadcast of Thursday's performance of "Tannhauser" -- direct from Amsterdam.

For opera-lovers who may be seeking additional opera on Sunday, French Radio will be airing the April 1, 2019 performance from Paris of what many people consider to be Jean-Baptiste Lully's greatest work: "Armide" (1686), a subject which, in later years, became operas by Gluck, Rossini, & Dvorak (among others).

Enjoy!
