^^^ WOW, our 1000th post
![]() With regard to Sky Arts 2, I don't know the answer but Sky Arts was the only thing I missed when I dropped sky so if they are cutting back on the Arts then it looks even more like I made the right choice! Just watching Cardiff Singer on BBC FOUR. I have to say that no one has set me alight in part 3. Hopefully we'll pick up the feed from this ROH performance: Guillaume Tell 5 July 2015 |

Carmen from the Choregies d'Orange, July 11th
Next Saturday (11th) France 3 will be showing Carmen from the Choregies d'Orange, with Kate Aldrich and Jonas Kaufmann, almost live. I say 'almost' because the programme starts at 22:20 French time, and the performance will begin around 9:45. They usually do that so that they can fast-forward past the interval, and also have the chance to substitute some or all of the recording from the previous Wednesday if the weather shortens or cancels the performance. That might mean there could be some feeds around on Wednesday 8th as well.
Hopefully the weather will be OK on the 8th, since I'll be in the audience

Later tonight, 23.50 to 03.10 BST on France 2, Handel's Ariodante recorded 14th July 2014 - I think it's the Aix-en-Provence one.

Thanks for the various early warnings of events. Aix: I caught a bit of Alcina which was great. I also found a feed of Midsummer Nights Dream (Britten) with my neighbours Trinity Boys Choir. Now then, Carmen... er, I didn't like it. I didn't feel it was how I expect Carman to be; didn't like the playing card sets; etc - so I lost interest.
I hope I'm not teaching granny to suck eggs, but I found this website (new to me): http://fomalhaut.over-blog.org/2015/...t-musique.html which lists a great deal of future broadcast music, much of it interesting. For anyone with wider definitions of opera, Les Parapluies de Cherbourg is listed on FR3 at 0030 on 2nd August. |

Performers include DiDonato and Terfel. The concert is followed by Britten's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and then from 01.15 - 03.25 there's a 2011 "La Traviata" from Venice. |

I noticed the English subtitles option that didn't work too!
I put a lot of the programmes onto DVDs that I pass on for friends to enjoy. I've evolved a set up in my bedroom (where the "old" kit from my main television goes when I upgrade), so that I can record directly onto the DVD recorder's HDD. Saves a lot of downloading from one HDD to another. (Can't imagine why my friends call me a "gadget person"!) |

I've seen better operas at Orange (Aida, Hoffmann), but still, we did enjoy Jonas Kaufmann's performance. |

Glad you enjoyed him. Marginally better atmosphere than a sofa in Croydon, I bet.

Fingers crossed Hvorostovsky will make a full recovery and be able to take his place in "Il Trovatore". I just heard yesterday that he's been diagnosed with a brain tumour.

Thanks for the heads up, that'll be great news for anyone who can't get Atlantic Bird and missed out when it was on France 3.
I'm sitting here thrilled to bits at the moment as I went online when the general booking opened at the Munich Opera this morning and managed to get a front row stalls seat (albeit well off to the side) for "Madama Butterfly" in September. I'll get to hear Joseph Calleja live!! As someone who virtually vanishes when she sits down, the thought of having a clear view is also exciting. It rarely happens. |

He seems to be taking a very positive attitude, according to his website he's only cancelled performances for August so far.
Changing the subject, if anyone's interested, the Gala Opera Concert at Hannover, which took place the evening before "La Bohème is now online here. https://www.ndr.de/fernsehen/Zauberh...rngala128.html |
