I think the festival is held in July, so it's over now, but the friends I'm staying with aren't into opera at all, so we'll be finding some middle ground whilst I'm there.
Angelika and I used to work together, many, many years ago, in a small record shop in Germany. I weighed just over 7 stone in those days and still have memories of richocheting off the shelves when we practised rock and roll during quiet times! (Should get Mefistofeles in the post to you later today by the way.) |

Thank you, Gneiss, for mentioning this thread in the opera one, and thank you, Annied, for this Quote:
Aida am Rhein 2010 live performance from Basel ZDFkultur Thu 11th Aug 20.30 - 23.05. I found more info about it here. though I read it too late for this I checked opera-cake anyway, to find ZDF streams some, anyway, of its live music. I'm happily watching and listening to Schrott, Netrebko, and Kaufmann right now!

Yes they have their own version of I-Player, although a lot of the arts programs don't get included... nothing new there!

This is a repeat, so you may have caught it first time round. I'll be interested to hear what you make of it if you didn't. I wasn't impressed! There were great chunks of it with no music as I recall.

To be honest I didn't watch it all the way through, I absolutely hated the production and gave up after 45 minutes! |

OK, I hadn't seen it and probably the shortest answer is I wish I hadn't bothered...

By the way, I noticed on the other thread that you'll be joining me at the Met in the future. I attempted to watch the documentary about Maria Malibran featuring Cecilia Bartoli last night, but the combination of a mixture of French, English and Italian all too clearly audible in the background with a German voiceover defeated me. |

Again, not a great deal I can find at the moment... How do people find out about the Met feeds BTW???
SUNDAY, 25 SEPTEMBER Opera Gala Opera of young voices concert for the Emmerich Smola Promotion Prize 2011, Art Nouveau-Festhalle Landau, January 2011 11:30 3Sat, 60 minutes And this may be worth watching: ARD International Music Competition, winner 2011 put themselves before the ARD Music Competition of the largest classical music competition in the world. BR 22:45, 90 min Remember to allow for the time difference - I've actually set my box for German time so I don't have to any more

^ That's a rather useless reply they sent you. Who did you email in there? I know a few people in there
I like the bit "thank you for choosing CNBC"

Thank's, I'm probably being a bit slow but what will I be looking for when I go there? Will it say MET Opera feed or words to that effect?
Also how long before the performance starts does it normally go live? So far it's always been the same frequency. 5 West Frequency 11675 H SR 25780 FEC 5/6 I think I had to add the transponder before I could do a scan. The Met feed is the only channel that downloads and I think it has Met in the title. It's almost certainly stating the obvious, but you can only do the scan once the live feed has begun. The live feed begins approximately 2 hours before the performance starts. There are excerpts from operas and a man with a clapperboard, so you wouldn't be in any doubt that you'd downloaded the right channel. There's a list of what's on here. http://www.metoperafamily.org/metope.../LiveinHD.aspx I'm really looking forward to the "Faust", it's always been a favourite of mine. |

We'll need to keep an eye out tomorrow. I go to the same page as rparslow's link too and if the live feed from the ROH can be picked up, there's an excellent chance it'll be listed there.
http://www.satelliweb.com/index.php?section=livef Gneiss, you just enter the frequency, polarity and SR and, assuming your receiver then shows that it's picking up a signal, do a scan. On the downside, if you see MPEG-2 4:2:2 on the listing, it probably won't work as most home receivers, including mine, can only handle MPEG-2 4:2:0. |
