Stretched out on the settee with a takeaway and a glass of wine is about as far as I get!

I'm a real philistine, I just can't get on with baroque at all.

This sounds like one that'll be worth watching. "TV Today" doesn't list the early morning programmes, so I'd have missed it. (I presume it's the same programme on each channel.)

I just checked the online schedules for HR and SWR and they're both 2009 according to the websites.
Somewhere in the recesses of my brain I'm remembering a programme along these lines on the BBC last Christmas. As I recall the clips were nearly all from really obscure operas, so don't get your hopes up! |

Think that was a typo and you meant "Boheme", which is all to the good as far as I'm concerned as "Boheme" is a favourite and "Tosca" isn't!

Did you notice that there's a short documentary about Anna Netrebko immediately afterwards. According the the blurb, a Russian director followed her around for a year recording details of her personal life as well as her professional one. Sounds interesting.

La Boheme is one of my favourite operas, but because of that I've seen it so many more times than Tosca and I hadn't seen Tosca for years. As an aside the Headmistress at my primary school had a dog called Tosca. |

Oops, my mistake, I'm confusing 3 Sat and BR Alpha.
Did you catch the Netrebko documentary? I have a friend, a real opera buff, who has always named her cats after characters in opera. She had a Tosca too. |

Funnily enough I almost recorded BR-Alpha instead of BR the other day, fortunately I realised in time. My wife's female mice have been named after opera characters for a while too, at the moment we have a Violetta, Manon, Tosca and we recently lost Adina... Have to say unless I've missed something the schedule for the coming week is looking a bit blank! Then like buses... SATURDAY 07 MAY Opera Jules Massenet: Werther Arte 08:50, 165 min Opera Netrebko, Damrau, Domingo ... at the Vienna State Opera Farewell Gala Ioan Holender Arte 11:35, 45 minutes Opera Giuseppe Verdi: Rigoletto Arte 12:20, 140 min Opera A. Gheorghiu, singing J. Kaufmann Adriana Lecouvreur Arte 20:15, 155 min Opera Dido and Aeneas Staatsoper Unter den Linden, Berlin 2005 ZDF Theater Channel 10:10, 100 min |

Don't get too excited, you may find you've seen some of them. I definitely already have the "Werther" and the Gala for Ioan Holender.
The "Rigoletto" sounds interesting, if only for the dire production! But Florez is always worth hearing and I'm becoming a Damrau fan too. "Si vendetta" and the build up to it is one of my all time favourites, so I'll definitely be setting the recorder. http://operachic.typepad.com/opera_c...n-arte-tv.html I'd like to get the "Adriana Lecouvreur" too. |

On another note I'm really hoping the reformatting of the ZDF Theaterkanal isn't bad news, but I can't help fearing the worst

I've always enjoyed her performances, but then as you may have guessed good sopranos are my first love musically...

Thanks, I didn't know about it either. Pity there's no EPG, my track record at checking schedules online isn't good!
Gneiss, ZDF Kultur is showing "L'Elisir d'amor" on Thursday 14.35 - 1650 UK time. It's a 2007 production from Bergamo. |

arte Germany on 10.743 h Astra has 7 day epg and has teletext which gives the day's programmes for the French version starting at page 400, in the evenings this is important as the two channels schedules have variations in the programme start times, if you look at the 'showcase' page on my site there is a little more information you might find useful about the two 'Arte's |
