sundry items

So. Summer. That went fast. Here's the recap: Boston Early Music Festival, Old Songs, BEMF Almira redux @ Great Barrington, Bryn Terfel @ Ozawa Hall, Don Carlos Day @ Caramoor, Richard II @ Lenox, Mahler 3 @ Tanglewood, Curlew River/Dido & Aeneas @ Ozawa Hall, Dutchman/King for a Day/Passions/Camelot @ Glimmerglass, Written on Skin @ Ozawa Hall, Dutchman/King for a Day @ Glimmerglass again, Mother Courage @ Lenox.

A few days to catch the breath and, y'know, show up for work, and then it's opening day at the Met already. Onegin-related festivities begin this Monday, 9/23, at 6:30 on Sirius or streaming live at the Met website.

Indiana University's Jacobs School of Music beats them to the punch, though, live video streaming their student production of Le Nozze di Figaro tonight, 9/20 and tomorrow at 8pm EST. Different casts each night, a good place to catch the next generation.


If you're within broadcast range of Americanistanian Public Broadcasting, Great Performances has finally seized The Hollow Crown. Ostensibly starts tonight but check local listings, as I'm not sure if GP will post it to their website. UPDATE: Yes, it's here. When you've sorted through all that political and familial dysfunction, then go to the Space for the Globe's battlefield HenryVI. It's shouty but entertaining. Uh, you'll have to scrounge a Richard III, sorry. It all ends in Tudors, but that's another miniseries and will be shown another time.
