Those of us who feel lost in the summer
without our Saturday Met broadcasts, look no further. Parterre Saturday
Afternoon (now playing its ninth show as I type) offers rare/historical/interesting/beautiful
(choose all that apply) performances streamed in real time from Parterre Box Presents La Cieca blog site and on YouTube as operazine.
Even better, the streams remain on YouTube for
future listening. I just caught up with the stream from last week featuring Beverly Sills singing Mozart and Strauss.
Today, in between acts of Gounod’s
Faust (an opera I rarely seek out, but always love when I come across it), James
offers a two-part interview with tenor Michael Fabiano. James is a font of
operatic knowledge to begin with. And Parterre's followers offer humorous
and informative thoughts, opinions, gossip, and trivia in the comments sections.
If you're looking for me next Saturday, I'll be at my computer (or on my phone) lisetning to Parterre Saturday Afternoon! Bravo James!!
