Live stream of the day: Le concert de Speranza
mainThe Royal opera of Liège in Belgium goes live at 3pm (2pm London, 9am NY) with a concert in memory of its widely lamented director Steffano Mazzonis.
Music director Speranza Scapucci conducts – all safely distanced, of couse.
Watch here.
Fitting that a lamentable conductor should be in charge of it, then.
Unfair comment. Maybe you have never attended an opera at the “Opéra de Wallonie” in Liège. Speranza Scapucci is an enthusiastic and competent conductor and Stefano Mazzonis di Pralafera was a marvelous and highly appreciated and regretted director. The pair produced marvelous productions, with good singers and sumptuous sceneries and costumes, which is not so common nowadays.
I was always travelling to see them and it was well worth the trip.
