OPERA ON THE INTERNET
WITH
DAVE D' AGUANNO
A big weekend for fans of Humperdinck's opera
"Hansel & Gretel" with 3 separate broadcast performances
scheduled for this coming Saturday (December 26) !!
In order of performance date, German Radio is
broadcasting the Vienna State Opera's performance of the work which took place
this past November 19.
On Radio 4 (the Netherlands), there's last
Tuesday's performance from Amsterdam.
The most recent one (from last Thursday) comes
to us via French Radio, as performed in Nantes.
In keeping with the holiday spirit, Swedish
Radio is airing a performance that actually took place in Moscow on March 11,
2014, the opera being Rimsky-Korsakov's "Christmas Eve."
The LIVE Met broadcast this Saturday is none
other than perhaps Rossini's most popular work: "The Barber of
Seville."
In fact, the Met is also broadcasting a FREE
live audio-stream TONIGHT of Johann Strauss's most popular operetta: "Die
Fledermaus."
If all of the above operas do little to excite
more "tragically-oriented" opera-lovers (although the Witch DOES die
in "Hansel & Gretel"), there's always a bit of Verdi on hand to
provide more than a dash of tragedy. In this case, it's "La Forza del
Destino" -- or more specifically, "The Force of Destiny" as
performed last month in English at London's Coliseum (English National Opera).
Despite the comic delights of "L'Elisir
d'Amore" & "Don Pasquale," Donizetti also wrote his share of
tragic operas, one of which -- "Roberto Devereux" -- can be heard on
Radio 3 (RAI) in the September 1, 2015 performance from Madrid. It may also be
SEEN if you wish to access the YouTube video which someone generously uploaded
a while ago (with Spanish subtitles).
(audio only: www.radio3.rai.it/)
Enjoy -- & Happy Holidays to you all !!!
