OPERA ON THE INTERNET
WITH 
DAVE D’AGUANNO

As we head into the first few weeks of summer, there's still plenty of opera to be enjoyed on the internet. For example, tomorrow (Thursday) you can enjoy a LIVE audio broadcast from Munich of Richard Strauss's "Salome" with the same cast that will be performing this work in a LIVE video-stream that is scheduled for July 6th.

Then on Saturday we have more Offenbach on the schedule, though not as much as we had last week. This time around it's his popular final opera "Tales of Hoffmann" as performed in Naples this past March 17 and to be heard on Radio 3 (RAI).

Fans of Roberto Alagna and/or Sondra Radvanovsky will probably want to listen, instead, to BBC Radio 3 for a recent performance from London of Giordano's most popular work: "Andrea Chenier."

Then on Sunday, we have two LIVE opera videos to choose from. Luckily, for those interested in BOTH of them, they will be available for a limited time, even after the LIVE video-streams being presented on Sunday. For fans of the music of Massenet, you'll want to watch his opera "Cendrillon" ("Cinderella") as performed direct from this summer's Glyndebourne Festival.

For those who prefer operas that are definitely off-the-beaten-track, OperaVision will be presenting a LIVE video-stream from the Poznan Opera House of Polish composer Stanislaw Moniuszko's final opera "Paria" (1869).

Enjoy!


DAVE
