Quoting Ian Campbell:

Scheduled to play on the Saturday matinee broadcast, which has just  
started as I type this, are Joseph Anderer (1st), Michelle Baker  
(2nd), Brad Gemeinhardt (3rd), and Barbara Jostlein (4th). (Note that  
the Sirius broadcast of the opening night of the production had a  
slightly different line up, with Gemeinhardt playing 1st and Javier  
Gandara playing 3rd.)

I've heard the Sirius broadcast of the opening night, and there are  
many wonderful spots for the horns. I had never heard the opera before  
that. Also not to be missed is Lawrence Brownlee, who, IMHO, is (at  
long last!) the real deal, a worthy--and slow to arrive--successor to  
Fernando de Lucia. The real star of the show, though, is the orchestra.
