LISTED TIMES ARE GMT

A Word About Timings

All timings are listed in both Greenwich Mean Time and Eastern Daylight Time. North America and Europe are now on Daylight Savings Time. For those of you who live in other time zones, you will need to make a calculation to derive the time of an event where you live. In the United States, subtract four (4) hours (from GMT) for the Eastern Time Zone, five (5) hours for the Central Time Zone, and six (6) hours for the Mountain Time Zone. Subtract seven (7) hours for the Pacific Time Zone and eight (8) hours for Alaska, and nine (9) hours for Hawaii. In the U.K., Ireland and Portugal, add one (1) hour and in most of Europe add two (2) hours (some Eastern European countries are now three (3) hours ahead of GMT.

For those in the United States, it is useful to keep in mind that broadcasts in the evening hours often appear in the NEXT day's listings because they occur in the small hours in GMT time, which is our primary reference in the following listings.

For more information on time zone calculations, double click the time display on the lower right of your screen (if you are using a PC) to display the Time Zone tab, then click on the drop-down menu for a full list of time zones and their relationships to Greenwich Mean Time. You may also let the TIME CONVERTER do the calculations for you.

Friday Night at the Opera: Pique Dame - The Queen of Spades
The Queen of Spades is an opera in 3 acts, 7 scenes, by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky to a Russian libretto by the composer's brother Modest Tchaikovsky, based on a short story of the same name by the poet Alexander Pushkin. The premiere performance took place in 1890 in St. Petersburg, Russia. The subject of the opera, very generally, is the destructive and isolating nature of gambling addiction. Hermann is an army officer who manipulates the naive Lisa, the granddaughter of a countess known as the Queen of Spades. The countess knows the "secret of the three cards" and has revealed it to two men, but if she reveals it to a third, she will die. Hermann becomes obsessed with learning the secret, and it costs him his possessions, Lisa, and ultimately his own life. This 1992 recording stars Mirella Freni, Vladimir Atlantov, Dmitri Hvorostovsky and Maureen Forrester. Seiji Ozawa conducts. (3 hrs.)

MOZART: Le Nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro)
Isabel Bayrakdarian, soprano
Russell Braun, baritone
Robert Gleadow, bass-baritone
Julia Jones conductor (English)
Canadian Opera Company

Susanna is to marry Figaro, but the Count wants to bed her first which causes pain to the Countess who is beloved by her page who is really a woman dressed as a boy... that's opera for you... that's The Marriage of Figaro.
Identities are exchanged, oaths of undieing love are pledged and even the accomplices get confused - all part of the comic contractions of the Marriage of Figaro, Mozart's comic operatic farce in which the philandering Count Almaviva gets his come-uppance at the hands of the clever valet Figaro and the maid Susanna.
A dream cast of talented Canadian singers was assembled for this COC production, recorded last fall at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts in Toronto, including several members of the COC's Ensemble Studio, past and present.

NPS Opera Live: J. Dove. Opera Kwasi en Kwame. Gebaseerd op het succesvolle boek De zwarte met het witte hart van Arthur Japin, die zelf ook het libretto van deze Engelstalige opera schreef. De hoofdpersonen in dit waargebeurde verhaal zijn de Ashanti prinsen Kwasi en Kwame. In 1837 worden zij op jonge leeftijd meegegeven aan een gezant van koning Willem I voor hun opvoeding in Nederland. Ver van hun ouders en hun volk verleren zij hun taal en gebruiken. Terwijl de ene prins zich uit alle macht aanpast en het liefst een 'echte' Nederlander wordt, vecht de ander om zijn Afrikaanse identiteit te behouden en pleegt uiteindelijk zelfmoord. Ensemble Domestica Rotterdam o.l.v. Wim Steinmann. Hans Voschezang, Brian Green, Philip Sheffield, Bibi Heal, Ruby Philogene e.a. Een opname van 17-4-2008 in het Muziektheater in Amsterdam. Productie van Onafhankelijk Toneel/Opera OT. (4 hrs., 2 min.)
