Opera streaming

[cahn]

Everyone knows the Met and other opera companies are streaming opera free right now, right?

Tonight the Met is streaming Eugene Onegin, so everyone should watch it and then report back to me :)

(In two weeks the Met will be streaming their Don Carlo. Just Saying :P )

yay Magic Flute!! :D

RENEE FLEMING IS THE BEST
Like, her voice is gorgeous AND she is super musical AND she can act like no one's business AND she's physically beautiful too. What more could you really ask for??

Yeah, I dunno about the Wagner marathon. In principle I'm all for it but in practice there's just no way. I might just do my usual thing of just watching Walkure, at least :)

RENEE FLEMING IS SO GORGEOUS IN EVERY POSSIBLE WAY and her voice has this gorgeous warm tender quality is the only way I can think to describe it. So beautiful.

My mom had the Solti Gottendammerung with Birgit Nilsson and Fischer-Dieskau (she was a DFD fangirl and passed that on to me, LOL). My fave growing up was Siegfried, tho.) My dad absolutely loved Siegfrieds Tod and would put it on very early in the morning as he had his coffee.

I don't think I've ever actually heard all of Das Rheingold /o\ I might just stream it on the big TV and kind of leave it in the background while preparing the Plague Cooking Supplies.

I've decided that I'm going to stream Tristan while working, not to focus on, but be introduced to, as if it were radio.

Ooh, that's a nice idea. imhoe a lot of Wagner doesn't come off well staged anyway, it's more like an Opera of the Mind.

I've only ever seen Wagner in semi-staged concert versions, and felt it really worked. Opera North's brilliant concert Ring Cycle (their Gotterdammerung was my first ever Wager) is available to view online https://www.operanorth.co.uk/the-ring-cycle/

Oh, VERY cool, thanks! and I agree re the semi-staging, that can really work. (I have to admit I love semi-staging anyway, the kind of interactive? quality of it really sends me.)

Oooooh, thank you for this!
