Thank you.

It is very difficult to hear opera on the radio. Even in Boston WCRB dropped the Saturday afternoon at the opera.

Thank you again.

It is very difficult to hear opera on the radio.

I only listen to the opera on radio when I'm driving in my car. I listen to and record most all of the Met broadcasts using high density streams on the internet. The quality is amazing! (My point of reference is 10th row center orchestra.) Check out operacast, especially during the broadcast season.

WCRB is a pretty lame classical music station. Virtually no choral music either. Just the same old 150 or so works played over and over again with a strange fascination for the music of William Boyce and Johann CHRISTIAN Bach.

That said, the two classical music stations (besides Met Opera) on Sirus are lame too. But I'm very happy with the new Met Opera station. Many of those old recordings are great and tonight's live performance of "Rigoletto" is pretty good.
