World of Opera ListingsNPR's World of Opera airs Saturday nights at 7 p.m. September 4, 2010 This new production features two of the greatest singers of our time -- with soprano Renee Fleming giving a spectacular and highly-emotional performance in the unforgiving title role, and Placido Domingo, the Washington National Opera's General Director, conducting. September 11, 2010 One of the truly great operas of the 20th century, Berg's masterpiece has deep roots in age-old forms and traditions, yet still explores the limits of both musical and emotional expression. The production from the historic Bolshoi in Moscow features a stunning performance by baritone Georg Nigl, in one of opera's most challenging and deeply moving roles. September 18, 2010 This lush drama by Gounod is surely the most popular musical representation of the immortal story of Faust, who confronts the hellish consequences of his own weakness when the devil makes him an offer he can't refuse -- but probably should have. Opera Carolina brings it to us in a production featuring a top-notch cast from the Belk Theatre in Charlotte. September 25, 2010 When Bellini moved to Paris in the 1830s, he declared that French composers and opera lovers had "little understanding of real song." He apparently decided to remedy that with I Puritani -- Bellini's first opera for Paris and the last opera he composed before his death at age 33 -- is blessed by a raft of his finest melodies. October 2, 2010 The phrase "for children of all ages" is surely overused. but it's also just right to describe Humperdinck's beautifully tuneful drama based on the familiar fairy tale. The production is this quarter's second show from Royal Albert Hall and the 2010 Proms Concerts. |
