Addenda: Over at The Nation, Steve Wasserman surveys the state of US publishing in the era of Amazonian conquest, and Michael Naumann explains why the German publishing industry is more or less impervious...for now.
DtO has alerted us that video of the current ROH production of Les Troyens can be found on The Space site here.
The Space is also hosting video of several productions from Globe to Globe, the international Shakespeare festival that was lately up in London. Belarusian King Lear? South African Venus & Adonis? Throw a dart and begin.
The next Glyndebourne videocast, La Cenerentola from 2005, is up until July 22nd. It's said over at La Cieca's that La Monnaie has Trovatore up tomorrow, and that Bayerische Staatsoper has Götterdämmerung with Nina Stemme on July 15.

"Worth twice every penny of the 6 dollars I spent on it", as one on-site commenter has it, which for fifty tracks says...something. I'm not sure what. Or if it's particularly complimentary.

You speak words of truth.
ReplyDeleteCan you tell me if that link to The Space is functional from US please?
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed functional (though a bit low res).
DeleteGood. Thank you!
