The Wreckers

Yay! I was really hoping for that one. Even if it proves to be less than a masterpiece, I think it's criminally neglected by a classical music world that still willfully underperforms works by women composers.

Now, I'm rooting for Dvorak's Dimitrij to stream from them.

San Francisco is streaming a production every weekend, and most of these recordings are available on DVD or Blu-ray. But for July 4th weekend, they are streaming an unreleased recording of Carlisle Floyd's Susannah from 2014 with Patricia Racette.

Texas has taken a laissez-faire approach to containing the pandemic, and so from what I can tell University music departments have moved to virtual recitals for instrumentalists, and no performances in vocal arts.

With one intriguing exception. Rice University's opera department is doing a livestream-only performance of the great Der Kaiser von Atlantis, and it will be presented in Chromadepth which can be viewed in 2D, or in 3D with special glasses. It's free to register, and receive the glasses in the mail! (All Rice University Shepherd School of Music performances are paid for by an endowment from donors to be free to the public.) The opera is a powerful and harrowing one.

San Francisco Opera is going to stream their 2018 Ring Cycle on their website over the course of the month of March. Each entry will be available on demand for free on Saturdays, starting with Der Rheingold on March 6. I believe if you become a donor it will be available for longer, as that is how their other streams work. I have read a lot about Zambello's "American" Ring and have been dying to see it.
