The Met touring was a big deal then. The first Boheme was in Los Angeles. They would perform in San Francisco, Denver, KC and Minneapolis before the debut at the old Met House Dec. 29th, 1900.
Listen Saturday as Classical 90.5 airs @MetOpera Live "La Boheme" performance #1417.

[Classical 90.5 @kmucclassical]

Here's a fun bit of trivia:
@MetOpera has performed La Boheme more than any other opera.
But it was performed by the Met in Kansas City before NYC. Dec. 10th, 1900 with Nellie Melba as Mimi.
Hear La Boheme live from Lincoln Center this Saturday at noon, right after Opera Shop!

Great to see Janacek near the top, I feel like he's under-appreciated. -DH

Darren hamming it up again

[Classical 90.5 @kmucclassical]

@MetOpera I saw a lot of people whose Live in HD theater feed did work absolutely glowing about the singing, a little less thrilled with sets and production but we will get to judge it for ourselves.

[Classical 90.5 @kmucclassical]

Wanted to follow up on yesterday's message. After some checking around there were quite a few theaters who had the same problem with yesterday's @MetOpera Live in HD broadcast, the problem wasn't with Forum 8.
Forum 8 is scheduled to re-run the show Wednesday at 1 pm.

[Classical 90.5 @kmucclassical]

I am extremely disappointed to arrive at @gqtmovies Forum 8 and learn that they are not showing @MetOpera Live in HD today. I apologize to Opera Shop listeners who like me planned their weekend around this and got let down. So much for opening day.
