13:00 ROBERT K. JOHNSON FOUNDATION METROPOLITAN OPERA RADIO NETWORK with Debra Lew Harder

The Metropolitan Opera’s 2024-25 season continues with the annual Listeners’ Choice broadcast. This year, the radio audience voted for a 1966 performance of Puccini’s Turandot, showcasing two legends who electrified audiences when they paired up for this opera: Birgit Nilsson and Franco Corelli. The Swedish soprano sang the title role of the princess fiercely determined never to belong to any man. The Italian tenor played Calàf, the prince who risks his life to win Turandot’s heart. They were joined by soprano Mirella Freni as the devoted servant girl Liù, and bass Bonaldo Giaiotti as Calàf’s father Timur. The young Zubin Mehta led the Metropolitan Opera Chorus and Orchestra in this sensational performance.
