Watch Juan Diego Flórez and Gabriel Bermúdez in live stream of Roméo et Juliette

Juan Diego Flórez and Gabriel Bermúdez

There aren't many singers who get one to take their eyes off of Juan Diego Flórez, except for perhaps Gabriel Bermúdez (who remains our most popular barihunk ever based on page views). The two singers are performing together in Gounod's Roméo et Juliette at the Vienna State Opera with Marina Rebeka as the other ill-fated lover. There are two performances remaining on February 26 and March 1st.

If you can't make it to Vienna, you can watch a live stream of the performance on March 1st for 
€ 14.00. You can opt to watch the performance any time within 72 hours of the broadcast.

In addition to be a member of the Zurich Opera House ensemble since the 2002-03 season, the Spanish barihunk has been a member of the Vienna State Opera since 2014, where he has performed Melot in Tristan und Isolde, Sharpless in Madama Butterfly, Marcello in La bohème, Figaro in Il barbiere di Siviglia, Belcore in L'elisir d'amore and Heger in Ruskala.   

He next performs Albert in Massenet's Werther at the Royal Opera House Muscat in April and then Marcello in La bohème at the Gran Teatre del Liceu in June and July.

Trinity Wall Street in New York City continues to live stream some of the best music available on the web. The last few weeks were rich with music and two of our favorite barihunks performed, Christopher Dylan Herbert in Schubert's Winterreise and Philippe Sly in Handel's Messiah. Fortunately, both are available online or on our site.

We recently posted about Christopher Dylan Herbert's participatory version of Schubert's popular 1828 song cycle dubbed Winterize, which was performed with hats, scarves and mittens in New York's Central Park.

Herbert will be singing lead roles in Stewart Copeland and Robert Paterson's Dixon Place with the American Modern Ensemble on January 16-19. The piece is based on Edgar Allen Poe's The Cask of the Amontillado and tickets are available online.

Handel's Messiah and Trinity have a long history, as the church presented one of the first performances of the work in North America in 1770.

Philippe Sly has a few more performances of sacred music coming up, with a Mozart Requiem with the Toronto Symphony later this month and a St. Matthew Passion with the Hamburg State Opera in April.

David Adam Moore as Vincent van Gogh

David Adam Moore: Bearded to play Vincent van Gogh

Barihunk David Adam Moore will be performing in Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Bernard Rands' new opera "Vincent" at Indiana University.  The opera explores all of the aspects of painter Vincent van Gogh's personality that ultimately drove him to madness. We kind of like the idea of a baritone getting to go mad rather than a soprano for a change. The libretto is by the gifted writer J.D. McClatchey.

Tonight's opening performance and tomorrow's performance will be streamed live and you can click HERE to watch them at 8 PM EST/5 PM PST.  Moore, who is alternating the lead role with Christopher Burchett, will only be seen on the broadcast of April 8. He also performs the role on April 16, but that will not be broadcast. Here is a preview video.
