It's a little odd watching it sung in English with French subtitles, I really don't like extensive dialog and the "comedy" largely escapes me...
However, it was big, colourful and quite watchable... Just not my thing. |

Merry Widow
I recorded the Met transmission as usual on my external HDD, and while it plays back beautifully on the television I cannot get it to play properly on my lap-top. Looking at the details I find it has recorded in .ts files which even VLC cannot handle properly. The previous transmissions from the Met gave no problems. I wonder why they have changed the system . Any ideas, anyone?

Thanks for the heads up. I've only just got in and it looks as though they've finished testing as there's nothing coming through on any of them now. Will try again this evening.

Oddly, an "encore" performance of ROH's Andre Chenier is on 0.8E 11471V /14400 at the moment. Missed much of it, but I thought "encore" performances were recorded and played out locally in cinemas. Any info? Was the "Live" performance (which I missed) interrupted by bad weather, technical problems or similar?

There was an announcement at the beginning that there could be signal problems from time to time on the Continent, but that was all. It came through loud and clear here. Like you I just assumed any re-runs would be recordings.

Arte tomorrow (8th Feb) 17.30 - 1815 British time are showing a Joseph Calleja concert which he gave in Vienna in January 2013. It's a tribute to Mario Lanza.
My timer recording is already set! |

No I didn't, thanks for the heads up!
(I see Lucic is the baritone, I enjoyed him in "Chénier".) |

Knowing this it may be worth looking for some of the others. I've never bothered in the past. Back to today: Tchaikovsky’s Iolanta / Bartok's Bluebeard's Castle—New Production February 14, 2015, 12:30 pm ET Interesting double bill... |

Just been channel hopping and come across "La Cenerentola" from the Liceu with Florez and DiDonato on ZDF Kultur. It's being repeated from 01.00 - 03.45 tonight (6th) British time.
(It looks like ZDF Kultur may be having another change of direction, I thought they'd given up showing opera.) |

I was out all afternoon, got back here just after 5pm thinking I had plenty of time only to find the Met transmission had already started. |
