The week of April 13 promises Dvorak’s Rusalka, Mussorgsky’s Boris Godunov, Puccini’s La Rondine and four others. As I write this (April 8), for instance, a 2013 production of Verdi’s Falstaff is on tap, followed the night after with an Easter-season-appropriate production of Wagner’s Parsifal. The most generous presenter may be the Metropolitan Opera, which in recent weeks has been streaming performances nightly from its “Live in HD” series. There are quite a few conventional FM stations that stream classical programming – I tend toward WCRB (Boston) and KING (Seattle) (plus WQXR when I get homesick for NYC) – but you’re at the mercy of whomever (or whatever) is deciding what’s to be heard. Apple Music and TuneIn, for instance, offer a cluster of calm channels – Piano Music (a channel I actually do enjoy), Classical Guitar, Light Classical fare, and for the yule-starved among us, a Classical Christmas channel. So where to begin? Well, there’s a veritable sub-industry of anti-stressful classical music streams, but some of these are more tranquilizing than tranquil. Forget academics, elitism, fussiness or any hint of intellectual pretension. I am not about to launch into an iteration of Music Appreciation 101. I’d argue that there is indeed a better approach: listening to classical music. But there has to be some way to de-stress that doesn’t involve consuming an entire pint of Ben & Jerry’s in one sitting, picking your way through the inscrutable third season of Westworld or, God forbid, doing six loads of laundry in a single afternoon.
Nobody could blame you for being in a pretty rotten mood. And not only can’t you play together, you can’t even pray together, because your church, synagogue, mosque or meeting place is shuttered.

So are movie theaters, restaurants, bars, gyms, everything. Maybe only watch these if you’re home alone on Thanksgiving.You’re cooped up and fed up, caged, confined, constrained, contained, closeted, corralled, possibly quarantined, shut-in and most assuredly Coronavirused-out.Ĭoncert halls are closed. If Count Yorga, Vampire sounds like it could have been a soft-core porn too, that’s because it apparently was going to be one, but the producers axed the sex from this schlocky tale of a vampire let loose in 1970s Los Angeles. The Playgirls and the Vampire is an Italian film from 1963 about five exotic dancers who get trapped in a castle owned by a vampire. It also stars Jack Palance (yeah, Curly from City Slickers) as the suave Transylvanian. Dan Curtis’ Dracula is notable for being directed by Dark Shadows creator Dan Curtis. Hulu, for instance, has at least five separate awful vampire movies available for streaming: Count Yorga, Vampire Blood of the Vampires The Playgirls and the Vampire and Dan Curtis’ Dracula.

As such, streaming services hungry, thirsting and practically begging for content to keep them young and vital will license whatever junk they can find for a low price to satisfy their nocturnal desires. That means anyone with time and money could make a film using the character without having to purchase the rights. Does anything scream “Thanksgiving” than the Lord of Darkness himself? Dracula, Bram Stoker’s enduring and iconic vampire, exists within the public domain.
