OPERA ON THE INTERNET
WITH
DAVE D' AGUANNO
One of Verdi's most popular operas -- "La
Traviata" -- hits the "airwaves" this coming Saturday afternoon
(December 27), as the Met continues its series of LIVE broadcasts of operas
this season.
BBC Radio 3, on the other hand, will be devoting time
to a broadcast from London's Royal Opera House, namely Wagner's "Tristan
& Isolde." It's worth noting that, even if you should miss the initial
broadcast, the performance can be heard for the entire week following the
broadcast on the BBC website.
From Paris comes the December 12, 2014 performance of
Mozart's "La Clemenza di Tito." It may also be worth noting in this
instance that a video of this opera (with the same cast, etc.) may be seen on
YouTube with French subtitles.
German Radio is providing a rare opportunity to listen
to an archival performance of Handel's 1741 oratorio "Samson." This
performance originally took place in Berlin on September 18, 1955. The cast may
be largely unknown to American listeners, although tenor Ernst Haefliger is
featured & may be familiar to some listeners via his various recordings
from that era.
Then, on ORF, there's this little oddity: American
composer Robert Ashley's 1985 opera entitled "Don Leaves Linda" (I
kid you not!). According to the ORF website, the performance is being broadcast
in memory of Mr. Ashley who died this past March 3, a fact which probably
eluded everyone's notice. (Correct me if I'm wrong.)
Enjoy! -- And enjoy the holidays, too, of course!

Encores!
Great Performances at the Met – featuring 19 unforgettable arias and
duets selected from the past eight seasons of broadcasts, performed by today’s
greatest opera stars and talents – will air on Great Performances in
December. (In New York, THIRTEEN will air the program on Thursday, December 11 at 8:30 p.m.)
Hosted
by soprano Deborah Voigt, from the Grand Staircase of the Met, the
special covers a wide range of operatic ground, from heartbreak to hilarity,
delivered by such artists as Natalie Dessay, Plácido
Domingo, Renée Fleming, Juan Diego Flórez, Jonas
Kaufmann, and Anna Netrebko, along with Voigt herself.
These extraordinary moments, selected from more than 75 productions, were
initially seen as part of the Met’s global Live in HD movie-theater
transmissions, and later shared with PBS audiences as presentations of Great
Performances at the Met.
These
broadcast performances are the “high pressure performances that separate the
divas from the girls,” says Voigt with a twinkle in her eye.
The
musical excerpts are interspersed with commentary by Voigt and some backstage
interviews with the singers.
