July 23, 2010 | NPR · This early opera by Francesco Cavalli revolves around a transgendered tryst involving the king of the gods. Though it's mostly about lust, there's a little true love thrown in, in this production from the Theatre des Champs Elysees in Paris.
July 19, 2010 | NPR · In the early 1900s, John McCormack sang in packed concert halls, without a microphone, before audiences of more than 7,000 people. He sang from the heart and the head, both spontaneously and cerebrally, and could sing anything from opera to German lieder to Irish folk songs. Although McCormack's music made NPR correspondent Susan Stamberg roll her eyes as a young girl, she now says it transports her to another world.
July 18, 2010 | NPR · The Cleveland Orchestra presents a diverse cross-section of Richard Wagner's operatic music in this live recording. At the heart of the album is an eloquent performance by Canadian soprano Measha Brueggergosman. Hear the album in its entirety, and download a song, until its release on July 27.

July 16, 2010 | NPR · William Bolcom's searing opera, based on a play by Arthur Miller, is a sometimes bleak yet always vivid drama set in the Italian-American community of Red Hook, Brooklyn, in the 1950s.
