Time for a DVR 2: San Francisco Opera on KQED

Hosted by our friend Flicka, an odd assortment of operas from the last few years: The Magic Flute, Salome, Otello, and Il Trittico.

Okay, well, I thought Salome was limply conducted and had a terrible soprano, and Otello was...well, maybe I should write it up some day. Trittico was fantastic, and I've been hoping for three years that there would be a DVD release. This is not this past summer's Magic Flute, it's the previous production, with Runnicles conducting and Piotr Beczala as Tamino.
