In July of 2024, Airwaves reported that Opera Maine became a member of PMC, and that we taped their production of Giuseppe Verdi’s Aida.  In November, Opera Maine has agreed to let PMC share this spectacular production with the greater Portland community.  PMC’s taping of the July Opera Maine production of Aida will air on Channel 5 at 8 PM Saturday evenings throughout November.  Verdi’s gorgeous music tells the story of epic love transcending age-old boundaries.  Dona D. Vaughn directed this production performed by world-class singers and the Opera Maine Orchestra and Chorus, all under the baton of Maestro Israel Gursky.  Unlike many PMC programs, this opera will not be available online, so these airings on Saturday evenings are a rare opportunity to opera lovers and first-timers to hear and see this masterpiece!  Don’t miss it.
