Just a reminder that the opener for the new Met Rosenkavalier will be streamed on the Met website on Thursday, April 13, starting at 7pm ET.

While you wait, here's Boston's Handel & Haydn Society doing the Monteverdi Vespers at the Temple of Reverb Dendur.



Or there's one of Eliza Carthy's big band projects live in Hull, with a rather killer opening set from Olivia Chaney, right here.

sundry items

Jonas Kaufmann's new Puccini album is posted in its entirety here for the moment. It's earned Lucy's seal of approval, so I'm guessing it's worth a listen. UPDATE: It's turned into a pumpkin, so now to your noise purveyor of preference.

The Monteverdi operas from this year's Boston Early Music Festival will be posted up at WCRB's website for on-demand streaming (audio only), starting with Orfeo, which is already there. I assume they'll post up one a week as WCRB runs them on their Sunday opera program.

If you missed Stemme's Elektra from Vienna, Sveriges Radio's got your back.

Finally, Met Opera has their free audio streaming schedule up on their eye-catching but slightly aggravating new website. The festivities begin September 21 at 6:30pm ET with that most metal of all operas, Otello. Will it be the barn-burner it's supposed to be? I saw the Maestro yesterday, he was looking a little dubious.

coming down the Pike

Broadcasts of the Monteverdi operas from last June's Boston Early Music Festival take up WCRB's Sunday Night Opera program for three Sundays in September, schedule as follows:

September 13: Orfeo

September 20: Ulisse

September 27: Poppea

I'm guessing those will be about 8pm ET. WCRB's livestream is accessible here.

L'incoronazione di Dubsmash

This bit probably also not by Monteverdi (via tenor Zachary Wilder)
