La Casa della Cieca

Welcome, cher public, to La Cieca’s new and improved livechat.

This week’s chat is a little different, cher public. Instead of listening to a live broadcast internet radio, I propose we lend an ear to an archival series from Unnatural Acts of Opera, based on the December 7, 1975 performance of Macbeth at La Scala, starring Shirley Verrett and Piero Cappuccilli. Simply click the “play” button on the player below at 1:00 PM EDT and we’ll all be in synch. (If you arrive late, simply ask someone in the chat how far the stream has advanced, and jump to that point in the stream if you like.)

Ready? Chat!
