More about that venture when we come to it!
The Met’s official gala opening night, however, gets underway three months before that, on September 21 (broadcast via satellite on SiriusXM radio), with a new production of Verdi’s Otello, to be heard later in the season on April 23, 2016. This latest post will pay homage to the coming Metropolitan Opera radio broadcast season, scheduled to begin in early December 2015. For the most part, verismo composers take a brisk view of their work, whereas the French savor over their output (and their ubiquitous ballet sequences).īut I do digress. Verdi tends to glide along at a fairly rapid clip, with Puccini even quicker. Typically, there’s nothing slower than grand opera, especially those grandiose efforts by Wagner and sometimes by Strauss.
That’s how swiftly things move about in the fast-paced world of grand opera… I’m kidding, of course. When one radio season ends, another begins. Aleksandrs Antonenko as Otello, the Moor of Venice (Photo: Met Opera)
