Metropolitan Opera
Maxine Norman
by
The Metropolitan Opera brings operatic performance to the radio, presenting works in which music, voices, and theatrical storytelling come together. Listeners can expect the expressive range of opera, from intimate exchanges between characters to sweeping ensemble and orchestral passages.
Radio broadcasts make the performance accessible through sound alone: singers carry the drama with their voices, while the orchestra shapes the atmosphere and momentum. The experience centers on the unfolding musical work rather than spoken narration, inviting listeners to follow its characters and emotions through the score.
This recording is associated with Maxine Norman. Opera’s combination of vocal performance and dramatic storytelling offers a rich listening experience for both longtime opera fans and those curious about the form.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
