Our dear friend La Cieca at Parterre Box announced today a refurbishment of his Opera House internet radio station. Just click the link below and you can hear any of seven superb live performances of the operas of Giuseppe Verdi right from your desk. The broadcasts are streamed via Live365 [if you have trouble, just visit the How to Listen page]. If only Live365 allowed you to skip ahead to your favorite performance or aria. But hell, it's better than waiting all week only to be disappointed by the weekend.

Aida - 8 June 1968: Bruno Bartoletti - Arroyo, Bergonzi, Cvejic, MacNeil

Don Carlo - 9 June 1967: Oliviero de Fabritiis - Craig, Bacquier, Hines, Jones, Cossotto
