OPERA ON THE INTERNET
WITH
DAVE D' AGUANNO
From July 18 of this year, it's Offenbach's
rarely performed comic opera "Fantasio" in a performance from
Montpellier. Listeners may be a bit surprised to hear a bit of music in this
opera which Offenbach later incorporated into his more familiar score "Tales
of Hoffmann."
Another comic opera -- Donizetti's
ever-popular "L'Elisir d'Amore" which seems to be popping up
everywhere these days -- comes to us via Klara (Belgium) in a recent
performance from Brussels. A free video of the work may soon become available
on the opera company's website.
Last week interested listeners were treated to
a performance of Richard Strauss's "Der Rosenkavalier" from
Amsterdam; this week it's a LIVE performance of this same work, courtesy of the
Swedish National Opera (Stockholm).
Verdi enthusiasts can rejoice in the fact that
two of his operas can be heard in the days ahead. On Saturday, NPR brings us an
October 2014 performance of "Un Ballo in Maschera." Tenor Ramon
Vargas stars in this San Francisco Opera performance.
Then, on Tuesday evening (Sept. 29) at 7:25
pm, the Met is offering another FREE live audio-stream, the opera being
"Il Trovatore" with soprano Anna Netrebko singing the role of
Leonora.
Enjoy!
