Thank you, internet. When I first became an opera fan, there were the Met radio broadcasts for 20 Saturdays, then "NPR" world of opera for the rest of the year. Apart from that, there were only the commercial recordings I could buy. (There was certainly no outlet for pirates in Li'l ol' Logan, UT. There are podcasts (Unnatural Acts of Opera, Handelmania, Premiere Opera), there is YouTube, and is there streaming? Braunfels), Das Rheingold. From Los Angeles, Lohengrin. From London, Marie Victoire.

I miss Peter Allen: seattle_opera
http://seattle-opera.livejournal.com/15955.html
I miss Peter Allen. I started listening to the Metropolitan Opera radio broadcasts back in 1991. In those days, the host was Peter Allen, who by that point had been the host of the broadcasts for nearly twenty years. Peter Allen was a great host. He had a deep mellow voice, he knew the operas, but show off his knowledge. When he had time to fill (which happened often), he described the sets, costumes, and stage action. He was never snarky, hip, excessively idiomatic, or "cute". Post a new comment. Post a...

Its a very good idea,. 1) Pick some of your favorite movies. 2) Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie. 3) Post them here for everyone to guess. 4) Fill in the film title once it's guessed. 5) NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions to answer! Have you ever tried to persuade him that he wasn't Teddy Roosevelt? Oh, no.". Oh, he's so happy being Teddy Roosevelt.". Why'd you make him black? Because I wanted him to be perfect.". Why does the floor move? Give me your torch.". Why'd it have to be snakes?

http://seattle-opera.livejournal.com/18506.html
Cav/Pag at Lyric Opera Northwest - Aug. 28-30. Have finally updated their website and officially announced performance dates for their double-bill of Cavalleria Rusticana. Fortunately for me, it's the weekend of Aug. 28-30, meaning that I won't have to attend between peformances of- or even on. A performance day of- the Ring Cycle. It conflicts with Ring Cycle III, but my tickets are for Cycle II, so it's all good. I'm really looking forward to going. When I first started listening to opera, Pagliacci.
