Opera seems to be everywhere, all of a sudden. In addition to the weekly radio broadcasts from the Metropolitan Opera (KUNR 88.7 on Saturday mornings at 10:30, but KUNR is airing four telecasts from the MET - this Saturday, April 22) will be Eugene Onegin, an incredible production with definitive performances bu Renee Fleming, Dmitri Hvorostovsky and Ramon Vargas. Set your TIVO or VCR - you will want this opera in your collection.
Although I haven't tried it, The Met is also brocasting performances on Sirius radio network - some of these are historic performances from the past and some are live. And you still can see the MET in a movie theater in Sacramento -- information is on the MET's website. It does seem like everywhere I turn around, opera is happening.
And Nevada Opera is producing Orpheus in the Underworld next week - April 27 and 29 -- this show is unlike anything you've ever seen here -- it is screechingly funny, a bit risque and the double and triple entredres fly by fast and furious. In the read through the other night, cast and chorus alike were laughing hysterically. This show will certainly lift your spirits after tax day and the snow!!
-William Russell, Executive Director
