At the Opera, Hansel and Gretel. [View all]

Mom loved it. The overture alone is a fine piece of music.

Tune in at 5pm (Pacific) for a fantastic Tiki Lounge and at 7pm, At the Opera featuring a delightful and charming recording of Hansel and Gretel by Humperdinck with an all-star cast!

This one, with the handlebar moustache, not the one with only a bar tab.


Rebroadcasts on Sunday and Friday of both shows starting at 8am with the Tiki Lounge and 10am with At the Opera with an additional rebroadcast starting Sundays at 5pm with the Tiki Lounge and 7pm with At the Opera. One more rebroadcast on Saturday mornings starting at 8am.

New shows are broadcast every Saturday night.

At 5pm there is always a slight delay so sit tight until it comes on.

I caught the Met's Andrea Chenier this morning, and the singers really delivered.

OTOH, Cap Radio is presenting the highly obscure and rarely-heard Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven this afternoon.

Here's Peter Nero teasing it.
Seems that my copy, via "Thrift Store Sheet Music Supply" is "a little" simpler.
But the opening notes trick almost everyone almost everytime.



The audio's got more baubles than Borodin, but no bangles and beads.
