OPERA ON THE INTERNET
WITH
DAVE D' AGUANNO
This coming Saturday (April 25), the Met will be transmitting in HD the double-bill of Mascagni's "Cavalleria Rusticana" and Leoncavallo's "Pagliacci." Both operas feature the talented tenor Marcelo Alvarez, with soprano Eva-Maria Westbroek partnering him in the Mascagni work and soprano Patricia Racette doing the honors in the Leoncavallo piece.
There's more Italian opera in the offing on Saturday, so those of you who won't be attending the Met's HD-transmission may want to tune in to Radio 4 (the Netherlands) for a LIVE broadcast of Verdi's "Macbeth."
On French Radio, a broadcast of Korngold's "Die Tote Stadt" is scheduled, as performed in Nantes on March 13, 2015.
Moving into more modern terrain, the Belgian station Klara is presenting a performance of Pascal Dusapin's new opera "Penthesilea" which was recently given its world premiere performances in Brussels. Incidentally, a FREE video of this opera should be available, startingtomorrow (4/23), on the opera company's website.
Finally, in case you missed it when it was broadcast earlier this year, Gounod's rarely performed opera from 1877 -- "Cinq-Mars" -- can be heard on ORF (Austria). The performance to be heard is the one (and only 1) that took place in Munich on January 25 of this year.
Enjoy!
DAVE
