I've been enjoying a lot of the broadcasts on Swiss Radio's opera channel recently.
I'm especially impressed by Paul Dukas's Ariane et Barbe-Bleue, a work I'd never previously heard.
The repertoire on this channel is extremely varied - some days they have entirely modern works, on others it might be completely C17th Italian operas, or C19th bel-canto pieces.
Here's this weekend's listening, by way of example:
