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 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.

SPECIAL PROGRAM: Les Rebel de la musique : François, le fils
Vendredi 7 novembre 2025

Les Essentiels

Dans la famille Rebel, je demande le fils. François Rebel, décédé le 7 novembre 1775, fut comme son père violoniste et compositeur, écrivant de nombreux opéras avec son ami François Francœur.

François Rebel, fils de Jean-Féry, intégra l'orchestre de l'opéra de Paris à seulement 13 ans, le début d'une grande carrière comme musicien et compositeur renommé. Avec Francoeur, ils formèrent un duo incontournable de l'époque et beaucoup les surnommèrent "les frères siamois de la musique".

Saturday Night at the Opera: Pinchgut Opera: Pergolesi: La Serva Padrona or Maid Made Boss

Pinchgut Opera present Pergolessi's comic opera "La Serva Padrona" or the Maid Made Boss at the City Recital Hall Angel Place. It is the story of Serpina, a maid to the lazy bachelor Uberto. He is frustrated with her impudence and decides to marry to escape her insolence. But Serpina, with the help of Uberto's servant Vespone disguised as her fiancé the terrifying Captain Tempesto, tricks Uberto into marrying her. Despite knowing he's been fooled, Uberto loves Serpina and she is very happy to become the boss.

In the early 18th century, the era of Opera Seria, Intermezzi were performed between acts of the longer-form operas. By the mid-18th century La Serva Padrona was hailed as a wonderful fresh form of opera and a welcome alternative to Opera Seria. La Serva Padrona was extremely popular and performed throughout Europe for several decades.

Recorded live in concert at the City Recital Hall, Angel Place, Sydney on 13 and 14 September, 2025. Producer, Virginia Read. Engineer, Matthew Hiley.

P2 Live opera: Friskytten (Der Freischütz) på Göteborgsoperan

En pakt med djävulen äventyrar Max och Agathes framtid tillsammans… Carl Maria von Webers romantiska sagoopera bjuder på färgstark musik som är ömsom lekfull och lättsam, ömsom suggestiv och hotfull.

För första gången sedan 1928 sätts Friskytten upp på Göteborgsoperan – då med Kirsten Flagstad som debuterade i rollen som Agathe. Nu är det sopranen Matilda Sterbys tur att ta sig an rollen.

I tyske regissören Philipp Rosendahls nyuppsättning får operan en svensk prägel med inspiration från nordisk kriminalfiktion – den karga och suggestiva stämningen i ”nordic noir” genomsyrar uppsättningen.

Friskytten blev en stor succé vid premiär i Berlin 1821 och är ett portalverk till den tyska romantiska operan.

Handlingen i korthet:
Jägaren Max måste vinna en skyttetävling för att få gifta sig med sin älskade Agathe. Hans falske vän Kaspar, som är i förbund med djävulen, kommer med ett frestande erbjudande: sju övernaturliga kulor, ”frikulor”, som aldrig missar sitt mål. Men den sjunde kulan tillhör djävulen och träffar det han vill. I den kusliga Vargklyftan, där kulorna gjuts, väcks mörka krafter till liv.

Carl Maria von Weber: Friskytten (Der Freischütz)
Opera i tre akter. Libretto av Johann Friedrich Kind.

Opera on 3: Mozart's The Magic Flute

Mozart's The Magic Flute from the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden.

Set in a fantastical land, Mozart's last opera is a fantastical coming-of-age story about true love and the search for wisdom, with an enchanting cast of characters. Written in 1791, and first performed at Vienna's popular Theater auf der Wieden, in September 1791, Mozart was dead just two months later at the age of 35.

Presenter Martin Handley is joined by Naomi Waltham-Smith who talks about Mozart's genius in writing music which would appeal to his different audiences.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Die Zauberflöte (K. 620) - The Magic Flute.

When the Queen of the Night tasks young Prince Tamino with rescuing her daughter, Princess Pamina, Tamino falls in love with Pamina’s portrait immediately. Accompanied by his reluctant sidekick, the bird-catcher Papageno, they set out on their quest, encountering a mysterious brotherhood of men led by Sarastro, Pamina’s captor. Although Sarastro may not be the villain that Tamino has been led to believe he is, he still orders Tamino to undergo a series of trials before he and Pamina are finally, joyfully united. To Papageno’s delight, he also finds the woman of his dreams, Papagena, in the opera’s joyful finale. (3 hrs., 30 min.)

Opera Night: Mozart's La clemenza di Tito with Tara Erraught

Love, betrayal and political intrigue ignite Mozart's final opera. Step into ancient Rome with Mozart's La clemenza di Tito. Vitellia, sung by Tara Erraught, daughter of a former emperor, seeks to regain the throne as Emperor Tito's wife. When Tito, sung by Giovanni Sala chooses another bride, she schemes her way through the Roman Empire, manipulating Tito's closest ally into attempting assassination. What follows is a web of guilt, betrayal and confessions, leading to the ultimate test of mercy and forgiveness. Written in the year of the composer's death, La clemenza di Tito is loosely inspired by the life of the first-century Roman Emperor, Titus. Mozart's dramatic score sets a tale of political intrigue and personal jealousy alight. Maxim Emelyanychev conducts the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and Chorus in tonight's production recorded at the Edinburgh International Festival 2025. (3 hrs.)
