New Program!
Amazing Tales From Off and On Connecticut's Beaten Path
We encourage you to tune in to our newest program, Amazing Tales from Off and On Connecticut’s Beaten Path which airs Sunday afternoons at 4:30 right after the Opera.
Amazing Tales uses a story-telling format to focus on historically significant people, places, and events from Connecticut’s past. Host Mike Allen interviews subject matter experts on a variety of historical topics.
He specializes in bringing local history to life, by using his journalism and story-telling skills with podcasting and public speaking. For 15 years, Mike worked as a radio journalist, both at NPR’s Boston affiliate WBUR and as News Director at i-95 (WRKI-FM) in western Connecticut. He subsequently worked in government and corporate before retiring and starting his podcast. As a resident of Connecticut for more than 50 years, Mike also makes public appearances throughout the state, speaking on topics of local history
Sundays, 4:30pm.
12/4 Is a Pickle That Doesn’t Bounce Illegal in Connecticut?
It’s the age-old question in Connecticut: is a pickle that doesn’t bounce illegal? Precedent was set in 1948 when two men were arrested when their pickles didn’t bounce. This episode is dedicated to not only the Connecticut Pickle Law, but other oddities on the books in the Constitution State.
12/11 Benedict Arnold and the Revolutionary War Battle of Ridgefield
When the British attacked Danbury in 1777, they faced intense resistance afterwards at the Battle of Ridgefield. Benedict Arnold led the Patriot operation, while Connecticut militia commander General David Wooster was killed; yet, not very much has been written about this momentous encounter. Battle expert Keith Jones III, author of Farmers Against the Crown, recounts the highlights of the incident, in which two dozen soldiers lost their lives.
12/18 The Mystery of Sherlock Holmes and his Gillette Castle
The original Sherlock Holmes – the one who created all of the mannerisms that characterized the famous sleuth (his hat, pipe and “Elementary my dear Watson”) – was an actor from Connecticut. And, he built one of the most iconic homes still in existence in the state – Gillette Castle. Hear the fascinating background on the man and his castle from author Erik Ofgang.
12/25 Curses, Buried Treasure, Ghosts - Milford’s Charles Island Has it
It’s rare that one location is the subject of ancient curses, claims of Captain Kidd’s buried pirate treasure and ghosts – but Charles Island, off the Milford, CT coastline, is such a place. Adding unique mystery to the island is that, twice each day, low tide reveals a sandbar that allows persons to walk the half-mile from the shore to the island. Did a curse lead to the burning down of the island’s resort? Others have died in the tricky waters around the island. The author of four books on the island, Marissa D’Angelo, shares the island’s many secrets.

Moving on there's song titles about rain and snow, song titles about, what else, songs, another chapter from the Billboard Top 40 One Hit Wonders and music from artists hailing from Australia and New Zealand for good measure.
We end the year with a rock and roll bang featuring tracks with notable riffs that will invade your head as we welcome in 2023.

SUNDAY AFTERNOON AT THE OPERA
your "lyric theater" program
with Keith Brown
Programming for the month of December 2022
SUNDAY DECEMBER 4TH Lully, Atys There is currently a wealth of historically-informed recorded interpretations on disc of the long-forgotten operas of the French baroque. The entire canon of the operas of the founder of French opera, Jean-Baptiste Lully (1624-87) are now available on CD. Lully's very first tragedie en musique from 1673, Cadmus et Hermione went over the air on this program on Sunday, June 12th of this year. Lully and his librettist Philippe Quinault would go on to create a dozen more such lyric stageworks to please the "Sun King' Louis XIV and his court. That brand new Cadmus was released in 2021 through Chateau de Versailles Spectacles. The recording of Lully's Atys (1676) you will hear today comes from a staged revival of this work in Paris way back in 1987, the three hundredth anniversary year of Lully's death. The production at the Opera-Comique was videotaped, showing how the costuming imitated seventeenth century fashion. The menfolk all wore massive curly perukes. The audio part of this production was reissued on CD in 2019. The music was performed in splendid "period" style by the singers and players of Les Arts Florissants under William Christie's direction. Christie and the ensemble he founded marked its fortieth anniversary with this reissue of Atys on silver disc through French Harmonia Mundi. This old recording has stood the test of time. Reviewer Barry Brenesal praised it upon its initial release back in 2012 for Fanfare magazine. Another Fanfare reviewer, James A. Altena, wrote about the video reissue (Fanfare, March/April, 2022), reminding us "...it hardly need be said that William Christie is a complete and authoritative master of French baroque style, eliciting singing and playing of great polish and beauty from his choral and orchestral forces."
SUNDAY DECEMBER 11TH Verdi,Falstaff Giuseppe Verdi's comic Falstaff (1893) is a marvellous finale to his career as a composer for the lyric stage. With an excellent libretto by Arrigo Boito, Verdi handled all the dramatic elements of Shakespeare's comedy with a mastery that surpassed anything he had written previously in his non-comedic works. I have presented several different recordings of it since 1995, when you heard it with baritone Juan Pons starring in the title role (Sony Classical CD's), and again in 2007 on old Angel vinyl discs from 1956(?) with the legendary Tito Gobbi as the amorous fat knight of Windsor town. This Sunday I return to a CD recording I last aired on Sunday, February 6, 2005. This time it's baritone Michele Pertusi heard as old Sir John, with Sir Colin Davis conducting the London Symphony Orchestra and Chorus. The proprietary LSO LIve record label released their Falstaff on two CD's in 2004.
SUNDAY DECEMBER 18TH Dickens, A Christmas Carol This famous short story from 1843 was so popular and so influential it served to revive the celebration of the Christmas holiday in Western European culture. (Remember, here in New England Christmas was not celebrated at all until the mid nineteenth century.) It created Christmas as we know it now. Charles Dickens' prose narrative has been adapted for stage and screen in all manner of variations. There are numerous musical adaptations which include the operatic. Thea Musgrave's A Christmas Carol (1979) springs to mind. A recording of that opera was aired on this program on Sunday, December 23, 2018. This Christmas I want you to hear the original story exactly as Dickens wrote it, as read by David Timson, a wonderful dramatic interpreter of the text. His voice may well captivate you. Timson has made over a thousand broadcasts(!) for BBC Radio Drama. Storytelling by the warmth and flickering light of the hearth has been a Wintertime and Yuletide custom going way back into antiquity. So gather round the radio: let it be your audio fireplace, and listen to the alltime classic ghost story.
SUNDAY DECEMBER 25TH Stoltzel, Christmas Oratorio J. S. Bach's Christmas Oratorio (1735) has been frequently recorded, and I have featured some of those recordings at Christmas seasons past. On this Christmas Sunday you get to hear the world premiere recording of a Christmas oratorio by Bach's esteemed colleague Gottfried Heinrich Stoltzel (1690-1749). Unlike Bach in Leipzig, Stoltzel wrote some opera, but he was primarily a composer for the church. He held a church post in Gotha, not far from Leipzig. Bach thought very highly of him and performed some of Stoltzel's numerous sacred cantatas. Bach also saw to it that Stoltzel's Passion oratorio Ein Lammlein geht und tragt die Schuld der Welt was performed on Good Friday of 1734 in Leipzig's Thomaskirche. The world premiere recording of Stoltzel's Ein Lammlein went over the air on this program on Palm Sunday, April 10th of this year. We know that Stoltzel's Christmas Oratorio was performed at the Court Chapel of Gotha in 1724 over the three feast days, December 24-26. By contrast, Bach's Christmas Oratorio was intended for performance over the full twelve traditional feast days from Christmas Eve to Epiphany. Stoltzel wrote his own text for his three-day cycle of cantatas. They are grouped according to the order for worship of the Lutheran church service, which called for vocal music to complement the readings from the Epistles and Gospels. Taken up into Stoltzel's cycle is a German language Mass (Deutsche Messe) and a festive Te Deum Laudamus, plus instrumental interludes. The entire audio lineup is presented on two MGD compact discs issued in 2003/2005. Handel's Company, a period instrumental group, teamed up with the chamber chorus of the Marien-Kantorei of Lemgo, also not far from Gotha. Together with four vocal soloists, the musical forces are directed by Rainer Johannes Homburg. These forces repeated for recording what they had performed in the St. Marien Church of Lemgo for the opening concert of the Lemgo international Organ Days festival of 2002.
