Full listings are not yet available, but this weekend already looks to bring a bounty of tasty treats. As always, for full broadcast details, please visit Operacast.com. Some highlights:
Sunday at 20h00 EDT, WHRB presents Shostakovich's Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk from the Bolshoi
From Bologna, oh-so-hunky baritone Carlos Álvarez in what should be a superb part for him: the title role in Verdi's Macbeth. (He is shown, at left, with "fazzoletto" as Verdi's Iago.)
Two Handel extravaganzas: Imeneo from Glimmerglass, and Giulio Cesare in Egitto from Houston (with David Daniels, Laura Claycomb, and Phyllis Pancella)
Two rarities: Riccardo Zandonai's Conchita, starring Antonietta Stella; and Antoine Mariotte's Salomé
A vintage recording of Puccini's La bohème with Bidú Sayão and Richard Tucker; and Rossini's Il viaggio a Reims under Claudio Abbado, allowing you to prepare for the revival of NYCO's frothy production
Lesser-known works by prolific masters: Wagner's Die Feen (from Cagliari) and Menotti's Goya
Montréal's superb Les voix baroques in an all-Scarlatti program
Happy listening! *smooch*
