| Johan Botha is Otello |
Verdi’s towering masterpiece, based on Shakespeare’s tragedy, makes its first Live in HD appearance. Semyon Bychkov conducts an extraordinary cast led by Johan Botha in the title role of the jealous Moor of Venice, opposite Renée Fleming in one of her greatest roles, Otello’s innocent wife Desdemona. Falk Struckmann sings Iago, Otello’s disloyal ensign, and Michael Fabiano is the captain Cassio.

OPERA ON THE INTERNET
WITH
DAVE D' AGUANNO
An interesting mix of the familiar and the
relatively unfamiliar constitute some of the upcoming opera events to be heard
(& seen) on the internet in the week ahead. Among the familiar items,
there's Donizetti's ever-popular opera "L'Elisir d'Amore" as currently
being performed in Paris and featuring tenor Roberto Alagna as Nemorino.
NPR is transmitting a broadcast from the
Academy of Vocal Arts of Mozart's "Don Giovanni" with a cast of
unknown but young and talented singers.
If Rossini's comic operas give you pleasure,
you might want to tune in to ORF this Saturday for a performance of his comedy
"La Gazzetta" from this past summer's Rossini Festival in Pesaro.
This particular performance took place on August 11.
Swedish Radio once again brings us a LIVE
performance from one of its esteemed opera houses. This time around it's
Tchaikovsky's "Eugene Onegin" from the Malmo Opera.
A less familiar Russian opera appears on the
schedule via German Opera, with a performance from Frankfurt of Glinka's
"Life for the Tsar." This one took place this past October 25.
Then on Tuesday evening (November 17), the
Met's free LIVE audio-stream features another performance of Berg's
"Lulu" which, as many of you already know, will be the featured work
in area movie theatres for the HD-transmission on November 21.
Please do keep in mind that on Sunday
afternoon, you can watch, at no charge, a LIVE video-stream from Munich of
Boito's "Mefistofele" with Rene Pape in the title role and with
Joseph Calleja as Faust and Kristine Opolais as Margherita.
Elīna
Garanča returning from several months of mourning her mother's death and Dmitri
