Real life is what happens while you're forgetting about Proms

The Mahler 3 from Proms with Sarah Connolly, c Haitink, is up for a few more days here, but you have a few weeks yet to catch Das Lied von der Erde with Alice Coote and Gregory Kunde, likewise Rueckert Lieder with mezzo Tanja Ariane Baumgartner b/w Mozart's Great Mass in C with Carolyn Sampson and a bunch of other people.

Links to all available Proms audio can be found here.

BayStaats livestreams its Ariadne this afternoon at 2pm ET, with Amber Wagner, Brenda Rae, and Alice Coote, right here.

Sarah Connolly fans and others not enjoying the beautiful weather and its attendant mosquitoes this evening at Tanglewood can access the live feed of tonight's All-Mozart program here at 8:30 ET. Program details here, and yes some La Clemenza di Tito is involved.
