(I am reposting here, as it seems more proper to post under "recordings and broadcasts" than "composers and music".)

This is being broadcast today at 1905h CET on BR-Klassik:

Sorry for the last minute posting, but I just found out myself.

I have never heard this work (or anything by this composer, at least that I can recall), but I recognise at least a couple of names in the cast.  And here is an informative review:

I discovered this after the fact:
http://classicalradio.bru-zane.com/fr/la-nonne-sanglante-de-charles-gounod/
I do not see on the Opera Comique's website that this will be broadcast anywhere else, so I hope a recording will eventually be available.  (I'm fairly sure one will, as another of the Palazzetto Bru Zane's projects.)

I caught most of a broadcast today on deutschlandfunkkulture.de of the German premiere at the Staatstheater Mainz of a two-act opera titled Antikrist, by the Danish composer Rued Langgaard.  I had not previously heard of either this work or the composer but what I heard intrigued me.  There is a lot of information on this website dedicated to Langgaard:  http://www.langgaard.dk/musik/vaerker/antikriste.htm and there is a DVD available of a production from the Royal Danish Opera.  Any recommendations for further listening would be welcome.

Not, unfortunately, a completed opera, but it will still be interesting to hear when it is broadcast by deutschlankfunkkultur.

A composer  new to me, I must admit.  The broadcast is on Thursday 10 May at 20:05 CET.  I will unfortunately be unable to listen or record as I am travelling, and I do not know if this will be available on demand after tomorrow's broadcast.

I am annoyed at having missed Sunday's live broadcast of Gounod's "Le tribut de Zamora" from Munich.  Did anyone hear this?  I hope it will be available on demand but failing that will have to hope for a recording.

I discovered too late    that this was broadcast live from Rome today with John Osborne in the title role.  I am hoping that someone managed to record it and can share a copy.
