By David SalazarOn Friday, Jan. 13, international audiences will get a chance to check out some of the world’s greatest singers perform Bellini’s “La Sonnambula” live from the Vienna State Opera as part of the company’s live stream offerings.
The performance, which kicks off at 7:30 p.m. local time (that’s 1:30 p.m. for people on the East Coast in the U.S. and 10:30 a.m. for those on the Pacific Coast) will feature Juan Diego Flórez, Luca Pisaroni and Daniela Fally in the melodic gem by the Italian composer.
