OPERA ON THE INTERNET
WITH
DAVE D’AGUANNO
As we enter
the final days of July, for Wagner enthusiasts that means it's time for this
summer's Bayreuth Festival to get underway. And so, starting tomorrow
(Thursday), you can listen to the opening night performance of
"Tannhauser." If you click on the link below, you can see the
broadcast schedule for other operas being transmitted in the next several days,
with links to various internet radio stations that will be carrying the
performances. You may notice that the 4 Ring operas are not listed at all,
since this is one of those summers where the Ring cycle isn't performed, while
many of Wagner's other works are given the attention they deserve.
Another
summer opera festival that attracts many fans/listeners is the one that is
produced in Salzburg. And so, on Saturday, you can hear a LIVE broadcast from
this year's festival, the opera being Mozart's "Idomeneo" coming to
us via ORF (Austria).
Although not
very well-known, the Rossini Festival in Bad Wildbad is also underway, so that
Saturday brings us a LIVE broadcast from this year's festival of "Matilde
di Shabran." Listening to this broadcast should probably whet your
appetite for the more famous Rossini Festival in Pesaro which will begin next
month & which will include (among others) performances of
"Semiramide" and "Demetrio & Polibio" -- his 1st, which
he began composing at the ripe old age of 14 !!!
Enjoy!
