Pimpinone - a time consuming project

What a bad blogger I am!

Blogging means that you need to write interesting stories and opinions almost every day. What a bad blogger I am.

But not without reasons. At MonteVerdi.TV we decided to start producing our own live video streams again. After quite succesful Internet streams with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and two recitals in the Master Pianists Series beginning this year in collaboration with AVRO we could add two wonderful new productions.

Two great Dutch ensembles, two great projects in this month: first the Combattimento Consort Amsterdam with their mini-opera Pimpinone and later this month Haydn's masterwork Die Schoefpung with the Netherlands Chamber Choir.

After recording Pimpinone on May 5th and 6th in Jamie Oliver's FIFTEEN, after a week of post-production, we are finally broadcasting this Opera in the Kitchen tonight.

Enjoy.
