not Messiah

If you've burned out on Messiah season but are still jonesing for some Handel oratorio action, for a small and modest fee (5 euros) Sonostream.tv has Saul on demand from this past summer's Glyndebourne run, directed by Barry Kosky, with Christopher Purves, Iestyn Davies, Lucy Crowe, Sophie Bevan, and Paul Appleby.

  1. Michelle E also mentioned this, so I have it bookmarked. I hope there will be no IP restrictions shenanigans. I once tried to pay to watch a film on the BFI channel and it warned me "Yeah we'll process your credit card payment, but you know you can only watch our films from a British IP address, right".

    Whoever sees this first, report back.

    1. Always a consideration. Glyndebourne's other (previous?) online venue, Digital Theatre, doesn't geoblock...or at least not the three things I've rented from them. Will try to shoehorn this into the schedule this weekend, if I don't succumb to the temptation to go hear LDDL in house.

    1. Merry 70 degree Christmas! Upside: a nice walk in shirtsleeves today. Downside: it's confusing the trees. Also if we don't have any snowpack in the mountains, there will be hell to pay in the spring :/
