Medici TV requires viewers to log in to an account, but these are free and easy to set up.

Golly. Does the intermission really last an hour and 20 minutes?

I'm particularly interested in hearing Finley and Burden. I'll have to catch it on re-play, though. I'll be in class next Friday.

Thank you as always for these alerts, volcanohunter. That is quite an intermission ???

It's very Wagnerian. Long enough to go out and have a good meal and be fortified for a long night.

Just to add a bit more information on this production which will be broadcast in the UK later in the year.

The below link is for details from Glyndebourne and duplicates much of volcanohunter's post. I was not aware of this site and I am grateful to have learned about it from his posting.

Glyndebourne intervals are always that long - the picnic is part of the pleasure of the evening!

Thanks, Jane. Sounds lovely.

Unfortunately for our contributors from the U.K., the notice on the Medici site reads: "The webcast of the opera is not available from the United Kingdom."

I guess that things are free except when they're not.
