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 Daylight Time (Australia is 11 hours ahead of GMT; New Zealand is 13 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.

Saturday Night at the Opera: Britten’s ‘The Turn of the Screw’

The nineteenth-century novelist Henry James’s chilling horror story provides the synopsis to one of Benjamin Britten’s most successful and emotionally-charged operas.

While studying at London’s Royal College of Music in 1932, the prodigious eighteen-year-old composer wrote in his diary: “Also listen to wireless. . . – a wonderful, impressive but terribly eerie & scary play ‘The Turn of the Screw’ by Henry James.” Roughly twenty years later Britten’s musical and life partner, the tenor Peter Pears, suggested the American author’s Gothic novella might make a worthy opera subject. Meanwhile, the arts journalist and children’s author Myfanwy Piper (who, with painter and set designer John, was a member of composer’s circle of friends) in turn put the idea to Pears, and would eventually adapt write the libretto for Britten.

The tale concerns a young woman who has previously accepted a job as governess to two pubescent chargers from their absent uncle and guardian. Not before long she discovers the stately residence where they reside is haunted by the ghosts of two former servants, a libidinous factotum named Peter Quint and the young nanny with whom he was sexually intimate. She finds the two bright children, Miles and Flora, a delight, and decides she must protect them from the spirits of the scoundrel Quint and damned nanny Miss Jessel. Yet her efforts to protect Miles are thwarted by the power Quint holds over him, the spirit coercing the boy to steal a letter exposing his past crimes. Pears noted in an interview he gave after his partner’s death the subject appealed to Britten because “as he grew up, he began to be increasingly disillusioned – in MAN – I suppose. So this idea of a lost child, lost childhood, lost innocence, and the search for that innocence, became of fundamental importance to him.”

Opera i P2: Don Carlos på Kungliga operan

Återupplev en uppsättning från millennieskiftet med det jubilerande Hovkapellet!

2026 firar Kungliga Hovkapellet i Stockholm 500 år. I kvällens Opera i P2 tar vi oss tillbaka till säsongen 1999/2000, när orkestern tillsammans Kungliga Operans kör och ensemble gav Giuseppe Verdis drama, fem akter av intriger i den spanska kungafamiljen.

Handlingen tar oss till mitten av 1500-talet, och den spanske kungen Filip II:s regeringstid. Mot fonden av de fredsförhandlingar som pågår med Frankrike, är tanken först att prinsen Don Carlos ska gifta sig med Elisabeth de Valois.

De två möts i hemlighet och förälskar sig i varandra, men politiken vill annorlunda. Elisabeths far bestämmer istället att hon ska gifta sig med kungen, Don Carlos far, och pressad av den franska befolkningens vilja att sluta fred kan hon inte annat än att gå med på upplägget.

Don Carlos olycka är ett faktum, och den får vi följa genom den här föreställningens uppgörelser kring makt och kärlek i en karusell av känslor.

I rollerna:
Don Carlos, prins av Spanien – Lars Cleveman (tenor)
Filip II, kung av Spanien – Jaakko Ryhänen, (basbaryton)
Rodrigo, markis av Posa – Peter Mattei (baryton)
Elisabeth de Valois – Hillevi Martinpelto (sopran)
Storinkvisitorn – Bengt Rundgren (bas)
Furstinnan av Eboli – Ingrid Tobiasson (mezzosopran)
Tebaldo, Elisabeths page – Iwa Sörenson (sopran)
Greve Lerma & en härold – Klas Hedlund (tenor)
En munk – Martti Wallén (bas)
En röst från himlen – Hilde Leidland (sopran)

Opernabend (Starts at 1705/1:05PM): Live aus der Staatsoper Hannover: Erich Wolfgang Korngold - "Die tote Stadt"

Der Komponist, Dirigent und Pianist Erich Wolfgang Korngold wurde schon als Wunderkind in Wien gefeiert. In den 1930er-Jahren musste er in die USA emigrieren, hat als Filmmusik-Komponist in Hollywood für Furore gesorgt, wurde aber später für seine Musik von der Avantgarde angefeindet.

Sein internationaler Durchbruch gelang ihm 1920 mit der Oper "Die tote Stadt" - Korngold war gerade mal 23 Jahre alt. Das erstaunt umso mehr, weil das Thema sehr ernst ist: Es geht um Trauerbewältigung. Paul ist nach dem Tod seiner geliebten Marie besessen davon, an den Erinnerungen festzuhalten. Er zieht sich immer mehr zurück - bis Marietta in sein Leben tritt. Eine Tänzerin, die vom Aussehen und von der Stimme her Marie äußerst ähnlich ist. Was ist hier Realität, was ist Wunschbild, was ist Traum? Die Ebenen von Illusion und Wirklichkeit verschwimmen. Und in Marietta begegnet Paul seiner Marie noch einmal auf eine neue Weise. Das Libretto haben Erich Wolfgang Korngold und sein Vater Julius unter dem Pseudonym Paul Schott selbst geschrieben, es basiert auf dem Roman "Das tote Brügge" von Georges Rodenbach.

Uraufgeführt wurde die Oper im Dezember 1920 zeitgleich in Hamburg und in Köln, schon ein Jahr später feierte sie Erfolge in Wien und an der New Yorker Metropolitan Opera.

Die Staatsoper Hannover bringt das Stück in einer neuen Inszenierung von Ilaria Lanzino auf die Bühne, mit Mirko Roschkowski als Paul und Kiandra Howarth als Marietta. Am Pult steht der Dirigent Mario Hartmuth. Für ihn ist "Die tote Stadt" ein herausragendes Werk des 20. Jahrhunderts: "Ich würde von einer musikalischen Trauerarbeit sprechen. Man könnte sagen, Korngold ist es gelungen, psychoanalytisch zu komponieren."

NDR Kultur überträgt die Premiere live aus Hannover.

Samedi à l'opéra: Ben Glassberg dirige Iolanta de Tchaïkovski à l’Opéra Normandie Rouen

Iolanta ignore tout de la vue, et de sa propre cécité. Quand elle rencontre l’amour, c’est par la voix que passe l’émotion, lui laissant entrevoir un monde nouveau. Pour servir cet opéra trop peu connu, Mané Galoyan, Lucile Richardot, Bodgan Volkov…

Opera Night: The Metropolitan Opera New York presents La fille du régiment by Donizetti

A bel canto classic that guarantees astounding singing, Donizetti's ebullient comedy returns to the Met, with soprano Erin Morley making her role debut as Marie, the intrepid 'daughter of the regiment'. She stars alongside high-flying tenor Lawrence Brownlee as her admirer, Tonio, with mezzo-soprano Susan Graham as Marie's long-lost mother, the Marquise of Berkenfield, and bass-baritone Peter Kálmán as the gruff but goodhearted Sgt. Sulpice. Golden Globe Award-winning actress Sandra Oh makes an exciting Met debut as the Duchess of Krakenthorp. (3 hrs.)
