Classicnl Opera

Out of 302 entries in the Netherlands, this one ranks 57. The upper quarter of a national list is an interesting place to be: well known enough to have accumulated opens, not so well known that it is the station everybody already had.

The station's language is Dutch, the commonest of the six the directory records for the Netherlands. Language is one of the two axes this site indexes on, and the Dutch shelf collects these stations across every country that carries them.

Tagged classical, along with 7 other stations in the country and 242 across the directory.

On the same tag worldwide it is 56 of 242, which is inside the top quarter of every classical station the directory carries.

Classicnl Opera streams at 256 kbps, above the Netherlands' median of 192 kbps. It sits with the 77% of the country's stations that reach 128 kbps or better, which is the line this site uses for a stream worth listening to properly rather than in the background.

Its audio comes from classic.nl. Three other stations in the Netherlands stream from the same host, which is a smaller sharing than the big platforms and often means the same people run them all.

Their site is classic.nl, a domain registered in the Netherlands. Where a station's own address and its listed country agree, the entry is a little more trustworthy than one where they do not.
