OPERA ON THE INTERNET
WITH
DAVE D' AGUANNO
There's plenty of interesting opera on tap for
us this weekend, although opera-lovers who relish the thought of hearing yet
another performance of "Carmen" or "La Boheme" may be
somewhat disappointed.
One of the most dramatic and violent operas of
the 20th century -- Hans Werner Henze's "The Bassarids" -- can be
heard on Friday (November 27) in a LIVE performance from Rome. That's on Radio
3 (RAI).
(www.radio3.rai.it/)
On Saturday (November 28), BBC Radio 3 is
giving us a rare opportunity to hear Luigi Rossi's "Orpheus" which
premiered in 1647. If you happen to miss it, you can always access the
broadcast later next week on the BBC's website.
(www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/)
NPR has the opera "Hamlet" on the
schedule for Saturday; however, anyone expecting to hear the Ambroise Thomas
opera which was done at the Met a few years ago will be in for a surprise,
because it's Franco Faccio's "Amleto" which will be heard. Faccio's
opera premiered in 1865 and can be heard in a performance that took place in
the fall of 2014 in Albuquerque, courtesy of Opera Southwest.
(www.wrti.org/)
Have you ever wondered what the first Croatian
opera ever written sounded like? Well, here's your chance on Saturday! Tune in
to ORF (Austria) and listen to the May 7, 2015 performance from Zagreb of
Vatroslav Lisinski's 1846 opera "Love & Malice."
(http://oe1.orf.at/)
Verdi enthusiasts, have no fear, as his final
opera "Falstaff" appears on the schedule of the Belgian station
Klara. It's a performance that took place this past August 26 as part of the
Lucerne Festival.

Then on Tuesday evening (December 1) at 7:25
pm, the Met's FREE live audio-stream features Puccini's "Tosca."
(www.metopera.org/)
Enjoy -- & Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Performed
earlier today, from Liege, Donizetti's "Lucia di Lammermoor" (with
French subtitles):

your chance to see & hear this wonderful soprano!
