We watched and enjoyed the beautiful performance of the New Year’s special from Vienna. Our daughter was fortunate to visit and play in the concert hall with the Appalachian University Symphony Orchestra while being a student there. They were there for Mozart’s 250th Birthday celebration. They gave several performances and while there. Their conductor, Dr. James Anderson, surprised them by allowing them to play in this beautiful concert hall. They were also surprised by the Prime Minister of Austria.While rehearsing the Magic Flute he just happened to be in the same building and heard them playing and gave them standing ovation. What a trip she will never forget. Thank you for broadcasting such special musical performances for us to enjoy. Fred & Marsha Brown Cherryville, North Carolina.

What is that hauntingly beautiful violin theme that accompanies the show at beginning, intermezzo, and end? The composer eludes me. Has his work ever been featured?

In the past, Great Performances has rebroadcast some of the Met HD operas, but I can’t find any information about the future. Will, for instance, they be airing the recent Lucia di Lammermoor? (What’s the point of listing what HAS been shown instead of what WILL be shown?)

I understand many PBS channels will broadcast the MET’s Lucia di Lammermoor with Netrebko/Beczala/Kwiecien on April 15. It was a sensational performance by all. Will WITF also carry it on that date or any other time? And will the Netrebko/Domingo/Villazon concert in Vienna be shown on WITF in its entirety anytime in the near future? If not, is it available on DVD or BlueRay?

Will there be a broadcast of Gluck’s Orfeo ed Eurydice on the Great Performances at the Met series? and if so, when?

I agree with the above.

finding out when the MET is available is impossible. one other reason I no longer contribute

Would love to get the DVD of “Chess” but didn’t get the number to call. When is it available and how can I get it?

Dawn Says:

I too would like more info on how to see or buy Chess. Also, is there a mailing list I can get added to to be made aware of upcoming shows via email?

Michael Tilson Thomas has written, narrates, conducts the orchestra and performs in (along with 4 actors) a tribute to his grandparents called “The Thomashevskys.” His grandparents, Boris & Bessie Thomashevsky, were stars of the American Yiddish Theatre and very colorful characters. This is a wonderful, heartfelt tribute and insight into the theater life. This would make a fabulous “GP” presentation. MTT performs it periodically around the country. This August he’ll be performing it at Tanglewood in the Berkshires. Probably too late to arrange for a filming session for future b’cast, but do check it out!
