Kathleen O'Connell Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Twelve high-definition videos of prior years' Summerscape Opera performances at Bard College's Fischer Center are now available to stream on demand here. Summerscape Opera programs lesser-known works by both well-known and out-of-the-mainstream composers, and the production values are uniformly high. Here's what's on offer: Die Liebe der Danae Richard Strauss (2011) Le roi malgré lui (The King in Spite of Himself) Emmanuel Chabrier (2012) Oresteia Sergey Taneyev (2013) Euryanthe Carl Maria Von Weber (2014) The Wreckers Ethel Smyth (2015) Iris Pietro Mascagni (2016) Dimitrij Antonín Dvořák (2017) Demon Anton Rubinstein (2018) The Miracle of Heliane (Das Wunder der Heliane) Erich Wolfgang Korngold (2019) King Arthur (Le roi Arthus) Ernest Chausson (2021) The Silent Woman (Die Schweigsame Frau) Richard Strauss (2022) Henri VIII Camille Saint-Saëns (2023) Link to comment
Helene Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Wow, that's quite the list! I've actually seen Die Schweigsame Frau: it was playing in Munich in 1977 when I was on my way to Vienna, and they were offering student rush tickets. It was quite wonderful, and I'm glad to be able to see it again closing in on 50 years later. Link to comment
