[quote=TV DUNIYA;69761449]Aida Opera de Paris

tonight 14-11-13 at 6.30PM (BST)

Well, I've seen some weird versions of Aida over the years, but this one takes the biscuit. The singing was superb especially the chorus, but the staging....Oh dear. Olivier Py strikes again

[quote=wombat66;69777931]
Utterly hideous, totally meaningless production...why do they employ these idiot ego tripping Directors? Orchestra, chorus and principals were excellent. Thankfully I didn't have to pay to watch it.

Regards to all

The next ROH broadcast, obviously not opera is - The Nutcracker 12 December 2013

Their next opera is Wagner's Parsifal 18 December 2013

From the MET we have Verdi's Falstaff 14 December 2013

Glad to hear that I wasn't alone in my dislike of the staging.

Slightly OT,Teatro Comunale Bologna,was streaming La Traviata,on its Youtube channel,the other day,so one to look out for in future,as a backup

Just been channel hopping and the annual Aids Gala with the inimitable Max Raabe presenting is on RBB tonight, 21.45 - 23.15 British time.

On 3Sat this evening "Die Frau Ohne Schatten" from the Munich Opera. 1800 - 21.15 British time. Sounds like it's a recording of the premier which took place on 21st November.

Rondo still have it incorrectly listed...

On the Arte website it is given as:

I don't know where Rondo get their information from, but recently they cannot be trusted. If I had better German I would send them a rude e-mail

Thanks rossi_dr,for all the info.

Arte epg is showing La Traviata as 7.15pm(GMT)start,at present.

The French site has it as 20:45, or 19:45 in the UK...

http://www.arte.tv/guide/fr/20131207

The German site as 20:15, or 19:15 our time...

http://www.arte.tv/guide/de/20131207

I guess it's only live on the German Arte then.

Shame as my wife speaks far better French.

I don't think either of the Arte transmissions are 'live'.The performance is shown on the Scala site as 6pm Milan time.

La Traviata

20.10 French Arte HD on Hotbird 13deg. - still showing archive film, Seems to be a cock up!

Well I saw the intro on Arte HD 19.2 and it looked OK to me, I haven't watched the whole thing yet though...

It was being shown later on the French version though!

It started eventually about half an hour late...slightly gimmikey production, certainly not a patch on Covent Garden. Singers were good, although not convinced that Diana Damrau has the right voice for the role.

If you want to see this production, ARTE both French and German are showing this, but at different times, so worth double-checking whichever one you normally watch

http://www.arte.tv/guide/de/050275-0...iulla-del-west

http://www.arte.tv/guide/fr/050275-0...iulla-del-west

I'm pretty sure I have it covered... It's a bit annoying that I don't get the full EPG on the French version, only the German on my box...

Having seen some stills from this I'm not sure that I'm going to enjoy the staging to be honest.

Utterly hideous production. Recorded it, so hoping to extract the audio and burn it to CD.

Not opera... but "Nutcracker" tonight from ROH., 0.8W and 24.5W. Will probably be visually stunning.

Regards to all

ROH feeds on 24.5w 11666h 13311 & 11684h 13311 atm

Both me and my wife were out, so missed out on recording the Nutcracker

One of the drawbacks of the feeds is that I have to be there to set it up manually...

No help this time, I'm afraid. I got the date wrong and missed it too!
Not the Royal Ballet, I know, but a couple of Nusskracker are listed for 21st on 3Sat at 2015; 25th on Arte at 2320; 26th on 3 Sat at 0925 (all CET).
