This is what tomorrow looks like: a live opera telecast over the web. It’s France 3’s transmission of a performance of Il Sant’Alessio performed by William Christie and Les Arts Florissants, starring “le contre-ténor à la voix d’ange Philippe Jaroussky, tout auréolé de sa Victoire de la musique d’Artiste lyrique de l’année 2007.” Watch it live!

Note, too, that the webcast will be available for on-demand play for the next 24 hours. More information on how that works may be found on France 3’s Sant’Alessio mini-site.
