The Art-Music, Literature and Linguistics Forum

There is a free-to-watch webstream of Philip Glass's opera THE PERFECT AMERICAN (on the life of Walt Disney) today on medici

WATCH HERE (http://www.medici.tv/#!/the-perfect-american-philip-glass-teatro-real-world-premiere)


The link is said to be valid for up to three days later - registration (allegedly) required, but free-of-charge.

Thanks for posting this link Neil! Although the music of this composer is not my cup of tea, I thought I might download the work anyway. But after a minute or two things began popping up, desperately demanding my "registration" (as you predicted) and - not taking "no" for an answer - hiding everything else. Perhaps I'll try again later. I haven't done any Arte downloads lately either; the last time I looked they had changed their index page, made it rather confusing, and reduced the choice.

Joining a Rossini (L'Italiana in Algeri) and a Verdi (Traviata), this Glass American has to-day appeared at Arte Live, whence it is easier to retrieve than from the original link in post 1. Here is the address:

Members wishing to retain a permanent record of the occasion may find "Pupper" useful; it's at our new "Third Programme revival" forum (still under construction). Just register at

log in, and look under "Pupper."

Thank you for that helpful information and new link address, Sydney!
