"Mahagonny" w/ Audra & Patti To Air On California Radio

Posted: 6/9/07 at 2:43pm

According to the LA Opera website, a recording of Audra McDonald and Patti LuPone in "Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny" will air on Saturday, June 16th.

It will play Saturday morning at 10:30am, on KUSC.

Don't worry if you're not in Southern California. You can also tune in via audio stream through their website - www.kusc.org

So... for anyone who missed seeing the live thing and are itching for the television broadcast/DVD, here's something that will tide you all over! :)

Wait, it's going to air on PBS?

This makes my life.

I have watched the youtube clips of Mahagonny at least 200 times.

And I will most definitely tune in - thank God I live on the east coast - 10:30 AM is not my favorite time.
Personally, I think I have too much bloom.

That's funny. I worked onthis AND still work for the opera and there hasn't been any word on this...

Does the newbie have a link to the info?

Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny. From composer Kurt Weill and playwright Bertolt Brecht, the creators of The Threepenny Opera, comes a savage and lyrical satire told in a highly entertaining blend of opera and raucous music hall songs, conducted by Music Director James Conlon.

Every time I see something about this opera, all I can imagine is Audra starring in a stage musical version of the 1970's Diana Ross film "Mahogany", and I wonder what part Patti would play.
I killed the boss, you don't think they're gonna fire me over a thing like that!!!!

So... I'm listening to the live stream and it's just random classical sh!t. Is it to start at 11:30 on the east coast?

Patti emailed me last night. I was asking about her recipes and told her she should put together a cookbook. She said she only had a recipe for chicken soup.

This is one of those shows that I'll always remember. Not only for the fact that I got to work with Patti, Audra and Mr. Doyle, but because it was just so 'different'.
