Mozart’s
Le Nozze Di Figaro
Met music director James Levine conducts a
spirited new production of Mozart's masterpiece, directed by Richard Eyre, who
sets the action of this classic domestic comedy in an 18th-century manor house
in Seville during the 1930s. Dashing bass-baritone Ildar Abdrazakov leads the
cast in the title role of the clever servant, opposite Marlis Petersen as his
bride, Susanna, Peter Mattei as the philandering count they work for, Amanda
Majeski as the long-suffering countess and Isabel Leonard as the libidinous
pageboy, Cherubino.

OPERA ON THE INTERNET
WITH
DAVE D' AGUANNO
Most internet radio stations this Saturday
(January 9) have scheduled the Met's LIVE broadcast of Donizetti's "Anna
Bolena." Carried over from the cast that appeared in the HD-transmission
of this opera back in 2011 are tenor Stephen Costello as Percy and bass Ildar
Abdrazakov as Henry VIII. In the title role this time around it's soprano
Sondra Radvanovsky who's also singing the lead soprano role this season in
Donizetti's "Roberto Devereux." This versatile lady is also slated to
sing Puccini heroines Manon Lescaut and Tosca later this season in Berlin, and
then Verdi's Aida in Paris. Wow!
If Offenbach operettas are among your favorite
forms of entertainment, you'll probably relish the idea of tuning in to French
Radio for a rare performance of his 1872 work "Le Roi Carotte." And
yes, it's about a carrot who becomes king -- or something like that. You can
never tell with some of these Offenbach concoctions. In any case, it's the
December 21, 2015 from Lyons that will be broadcast this Saturday.
More operetta is on tap for us: Tomorrow
evening at 7:25, the Met's featured FREE live audio-stream is of "Die
Fledermaus" by Johann Strauss.
Enjoy!
