Sorry, the winds here have been playing havoc with my dish, so it's not been worth trying to record anything. I'm still getting a signal, but much weaker than it should be, so lots of break ups.

Hope you get it sorted soon..
Traviata on now, and pleased to see a more traditional staging so I won't be presented with German storm troupers or some other such nonsense! |

I didn't know it was on! I really miss the updates I used to get here.
The satellite guys are coming next week, sooner if they're in the area and have a spare half hour. It's the second time in as many months, we've been having some powerful winds here this winter! |

Thanks for that, it's one of my favourites!
Not getting any signal at the moment, but the tests may have finished for the time being. I'll try again nearer the transmission time. (By the way, the Paris Opera website is saying that Anna Netrebko has acute bronchitis and won't be appearing.) |

I can usually pick up the live feeds, but there's still nothing coming through at the moment.
What are the co-ordinates for the Kaufmann please? I keep watching Satelliweb, but apart from the lunchtime details, there's nothing new come through there. (There's a possibility I could pick up both on .8W if I can just nail down the feed details!) Edited to add that the live feed is now coming through on .8W |

Are you sure the Kaufmann is being beamed out via satellite? I hope you're right, but I ask because I know there's a CD and DVD of him singing Puccini that he's been promoting and it's not a live performance. In addition, it's being shown on different dates in other countries; the French have to wait until March and it's on next week in Munich.

One of those times when I would have been very happy to have been proved wrong!

Just picked up a test feed on 0.8W 11471/V 13310 labelled FHP live with a Magic Flute excerpt in the sound test loop. Any bright ideas what to expect? The language is Scandinavian. Maybe Stockholm. Maybe Medea - is that Cherubini? Have to wait and see.
Looks like Madea but no subtitles found. Horribly modern! <<www.operalogg.com/medea-royal-opera-in-stockholm-english-summary/>> Last edited by bensgrandad : 13-02-2016 at 18:03. Reason: additional correction |

I've got it. They're singing it in Swedish! Or at least, since I don't speak Swedish, in the same language as the subtitles.
I just googled Medea live Stockholm and it seems to be the Swedish National Opera Company. http://www.operan.se/ |

As you so rightly say, a 'proper production'. The singers, none of whom were known to me, were all excellent.

Yes, I watched it,I thought it was a good production, but I am never very keen on shifted time scales,and operas do not always transfer well to a different era.
On the whole I much prefer them sent in the period intended. The Next Met offering is: Madama Butterfly Sat, Apr 02, 2016 12:55 PM their time! But first we have: Boris Godunov 21 March 2016 From the ROH |
