OPERA ON THE INTERNET
WITH
DAVE D’AGUANNO
For many opera fans, the upcoming HD-transmission on
Saturday of Puccini's beloved "La Boheme" will be of primary
interest. This LIVE performance from the Met features soprano Sonya Yoncheva as
Mimi and tenor Michael Fabiano as Rodolfo -- certainly two of the most popular
young singers before the opera public today. The performance can also be heard
on many internet radio stations.
Also on Saturday, for those of us who may prefer to
listen to something other than Puccini's admittedly gorgeous masterpiece,
there's Handel's opera seria "Ariodante" (premiered in 1735) which
can be heard on ORF (Austria) in a performance from Vienna.
Then again, instead of Puccini, one might turn to Verdi, as
Swedish Radio will be broadcasting a performance from Stockholm of
"Aida."
Aside from the Saturday afternoon performances
mentioned above, there are two other broadcasts in the days ahead that may
certainly be of interest to many opera-lovers. One of these would be the Thursday (February
22) LIVE broadcast from Barcelona of Gounod's "Romeo & Juliette"
which can be heard on Spain's Radio Clasica.
On Sunday (February 25), French Radio will be airing a
LIVE performance from Paris of what seems to be one of the most-performed
operas from the 20th century: Francis Poulenc's "Dialogues of the
Carmelites."
Enjoy!
