LISTED TIMES ARE GMT

A Word About Timings

All timings are listed in both Greenwich Mean Time and Eastern Daylight Time. Europe and North America are both on Daylight 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 North America 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, eight (8) hours for Alaska, and nine (9) hours for Hawaii. In UK, Ireland and Portugal add one (1) hour to GMT. In most of the rest of Europe add one (2) hours (some Eastern European countries are three (3) hours ahead of GMT). In the Southern Hemisphere, Australia and New Zealand are on Standard Time (Australia is 10 hours ahead of GMT; New Zealand is 12 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.

	1700 1:00PM	Sunday Afternoon at the Opera: Gounod: Roméo et Juliette Charles Gounod (1818-1893) vies with Guiseppe Verdi as the all-time most popular opera composer. Faust in its original 1859 comédie lyrique version I broadcast on Sunday, June 10, 2021 (Palazzetto Bru Zane CDs/Rousset/Les Talens Lyriques). The 1869 grand opera revision of Faust became an international hit. The Met mounted so many productions of Faust that people dubbed the Met the "House of Faust." Gounod's Roméo et Juliette (1867) was also enormously popular, and it has been frequently recorded. I have broadcast it in one or another release on disc four times on this program: Sundays in 1985, 1988, 2010, and most recently on Sunday, April 14, 2013. On that last occasion I made use of one of Sony Classical's CD releases of broadcast airtapes made live in performance at the Metropolitan Opera. The mono or early stereo sound on these old tape reels from the Met's archives was digitally remastered for compact disc issue in the early twenty first century. This particular release documents a performance of Roméo et Juliette given on February 1, 1947. These old tapes captured for posterity what some consider to be the Golden Age of opera singing in the first half of the twentieth century. Emile Cooper conducted the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and Chorus. The incomparable Swedish tenor Jussi Björling is heard as Romeo opposite Brazilian soprano Bidu Sayao as Juliet, a role in which she specialized. To the delight of audiences, Björling and Sayao were frequently paired in Met productions in the 1940s. Savor this historic 1947 Romeo and Juliette a second time this afternoon. (3 hrs., 30 min.)

Leighton Lucas arranged and orchestrated Massenet’s works in this three-act ballet (in collaboration with Hilda Gaunt) for Kenneth MacMillan and the Royal Ballet. Massenet’s music is lovely, and the setting by Lucas is unexpected, making it a delightful close to the afternoon brought to you here by Richard Bonynge leading the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden.
