OPERA ON THE INTERNET
WITH
DAVE D'AGUANNO
The Metropolitan Opera in New York will be
broadcasting a performance of Puccini's "Tosca" this coming Saturday,
January 28. Starring Patricia Racette in the title role, it can be heard on
many internet radio stations.
(www.wrti.org/)
Another LIVE broadcast comes to us via Swedish Radio,
as the Paris Opera is relaying a performance of Massenet's "Manon"
with Natalie Dessay in the lead.
(http://sverigesradio.se/p2/)
The Stuttgart Opera, which doesn't usually broadcast
with any amount of frequency these days, is giving us a performance of
Bellini's "La Sonnambula" (taped this past Sunday) to be heard on
German Radio.
(www.dradio.de/dkultur/)
And the Belgian station Klara has a performance by the
Flemish Opera which took place last month. The opera: Rossini's "Il
Viaggio a Reims."
(http://radio.klara.be/radio/10_home.php)
Plus, no opera schedule would be complete without at
least one blockbuster, so this Friday you can kick things off at 6 p.m. with a
LIVE performance on the Met's free audio-stream of Wagner's "Die
Gotterdammerung" which, incidentally, will be getting an HD-transmission
on Feb. 11.

Enjoy!

This
acclaimed 12-voice Renaissance vocal ensemble will present a program of Music
for Carnival, including madrigals of Cipriano De Rore, and playful and giddy
villanelli for the carnival season. Orlando di Lasso wrote widely in many
languages, from earthy and profane madrigals and chansons to the most serious
of Latin sacred Music. Schola’s
performance will include the grand Magnificat of Lasso based on the De Rore
madrigal “Ancor che col partire”. For more than 25 years, this group has been
