elisir_chatUPDATE:  La Cieca is going to call this one for L’elisir d’amore from LOC, though depending on the enthusiasm and whim of the cher public, we may dart over to La donna del lago in midafternoon.  Details after the jump. 

Here’s a list of stations carrying the WFMT broadcast of L’elisir featuring Nicole Cabell, Giuseppe Filianoti, Alessandro Corbelli and Gabriele Viviant; Lyric Opera Chorus and Orchestra, Bruno Campanella. The performance begins at 1:00 pm EDT.

La Casa della Cieca will of course be open for business!
