Some sunny diversion (and perhaps a little threaded conversation) on a grey Saturday afternoon: a rebroadcast of the March 9, 1974 performance of I Vespri Siciliani from the Met. The stream begins at 1:00 pm EST here, or if you’re feeling adventurous, you can delve further into Oslo, Norway’s NRK P2 radio.

Elena: Montserrat Caballé; Arrigo: Nicolai Gedda; Guido di Monforte: Sherrill Milnes; Giovanni da Procida: Justino Díaz. Conductor: James Levine.

Details for this broadcast are derived from the invaluable Operacast.
