Keep watching the skies!
La Cieca hopes you’re not tired of news about the Met/Sirius Radio partnership, because she has just obtained a schedule of live performances to be broadcast over the satellite service. The first week of the broadcasts will include Madama Butterfly on Monday, September 25 at 6:30 p.m., Idomeno on Thursday the 28th at 7:30 p.m. and La Gioconda on Saturday the 30th at 8:00 p.m.
On Friday the 29th, Sirius will offer an archival broadcast, and La Cieca knows you won’t need three guesses to figure out which golden-age performance they have chosen.

Turandot?
So, they’re only doing one archival broadcast? And of all the ones to do, it’s one that I already have on CD (my first recording of Turandot). Oh well.
I think I just had an orgasim. God bless you, Peter Gelb!
No they are not doing one archival broadcast – the schedule is not out yet but it goes back to 1937 and has a lot of B cats so far Jay
Can’t wait for that schedule to be released!
…especially since they started right after the BUTTERFLY b’dcast with the 1973 RIGOLETTO b’dcast with Wixell/Pavarotti/Grist.
