While theaters are opening, more and more American opera companies are committing to the online presentation. So there is no doubt that there will be plenty of streaming options for the foreseeable future. And we will be here to spotlight 10 operas every week.

But as we have done over the past few weeks, do not forget to check out important discussions taking place regarding issues of race and equality in opera. We continue to recommend checking out several online shows such as Karen Slack’s “KikiKonversations,” Kenneth Overton’s “Black Opera Live,” “The Sitdown with LB,” hosted by Lawrence Brownlee, and Mark S. Doss’ “Heart and Soul” series on Sunday afternoons.

And here are our top 10 operas to stream this week!

Monday Concert Starring Jonas Kaufmann – Bayerische Staatsoper (June 29)

The Bavarian State Opera will close out its Monday concert series with a big program headlined by opera superstar Jonas Kaufmann.  The tenor will take on music by Mahler alongside the Bayerische Staatsoper’s Orchestra and Kirill Petrenko. The concert will also feature music by Strauss, Stravinsky, and Schönberg.

Vienna State Opera – Falstaff (June 30)

End the month of June on a high note with Verdi’s rousing comedy. The cast is stellar, featuring Ambrogio Maestri, Ludovic Tézier, Paolo Fanale, Herwig Pecoraro, Riccardo Fassi, Thomas Ebenstein, Carmen Giannattasio, Hila Fahima, Marie-Nicole Lemieux, and Lilly Jørstad under the fantastic musical direction of Zubin Mehta.

Die Walküre – Metropolitan Opera (June 30)

The initial inclination was to go with Beverly Sills and Alfredo Kraus’ historic performance of “Don Pasquale.” But unfortunately, that opera’s presentation is taking place the same week as this legendary performance which is undoubtedly one of the finest of this opera to ever be put on video recording. First off, it features Hildegard Behrens in a legendary turn as Brünnhilde. She’s matched by equally iconic performances from Jessye Norman, Christa Ludwig, and of course, James Morris in his masterful interpretation of Wotan. Gary Lakes and Kurt Moll are also solid as Siegmund and Hunding. Then there is the Otto Schenk production which is legendary in its own right.

Don’t miss this broadcast.
