OPERA ON THE INTERNET
WITH
DAVE D' AGUANNO
This coming
Saturday (August 13), NPR brings us a broadcast from the 2013/2014 Los Angeles
Opera season, the opera being Verdi's "Falstaff" (as performed in
November 2013).
Another
well-known Italian opera -- Puccini's "Madame Butterfly" -- can be
heard on Radio 3 (RAI) in a performance that took place in Venice on March 18
of this year.
Being
performed today (August 10) but not being broadcast until Saturday: Gounod's
"Faust" from this summer's Salzburg Festival, featuring tenor Piotr
Beczala as Faust & bass Ildar Abdrazakov as Mephistopheles. This one can be
heard on ORF (Austria).
Of interest to
fans of 21st century opera: Swedish composer Daniel Fellstrom's new opera
"Det Gar An" ("It Will Do") can be heard on Swedish Radio.
The work is Fellstrom's second opera & had its world premiere in Malmo on
July 9 of this year. It has also been described (by one British critic) as
"a diamond among new operas." Interesting!
Enjoy!
