Live Opera performances
Thank you to Mia Unson, Board President of TheGuild of Salt Marsh Opera, who has compiled the following resources for all of us to enjoy!
Right now there is an abundance of live and recorded music available online, much at no cost. Here are just a few:
Audio broadcast schedules can be found at operacast.com.
Current and recent opera video streams continue on OperaVision.eu.
The Bayerische Staatsoper has been streaming its new productions (free live, then on demand for a small fee). Currently available is Braunfels' Die Voegel: https://operlive.de/die-voegel/ (available only until December 5th). Highly recommended with an excellent cast and a new production by Frank Castorf.
These two streaming sites are worth looking at:
ARTE.tv
https://www.arte.tv/en/arte-concert/most-recent/?genres=opera
(some videos are geography-restricted for copyright reasons)
Medici.tv
https://www.medici.tv
(some free videos, much more with a subscription--steep discounts are offered periodically)
There are live (and then on demand) performances more or less daily from the Wigmore Hall in London. These are invariably of a very high standard. https://wigmore-hall.org.uk/ (free but registration required)
