Weekend TV : Music, ‘Moonlighting’ and Gorbachev Can Be Found Amid the Basketball Hysteria

Two classical music spectaculars, Soviet premier Mikhail Gorbachev’s first trip to Cuba and the return of an old favorite will break up this weekend’s basketball hysteria.

Sunday, “The Metropolitan Opera Presents” soprano Jessye Norman in productions of Bartok’s “Bluebeard’s Castle” and Arnold Schoenberg’s “Erwartung,” 1 p.m. (28). KCET follows that up at 3 p.m. with Leonard Bernstein conducting the Vienna Philharmonic in a three-hour concert of Brahms. The event will be simulcast in stereo on KUSC-FM (91.5) and KCPB-FM (91.1).

Cable News Network will provide live coverage of Gorbachev’s arrival in Cuba beginning at 10 a.m. Sunday. More than 500,000 people are expected to welcome the Soviet president in Havana.

And David Addison and Maddie Hayes return to prime time Sunday at 8 p.m. on ABC to try to ignite the old sparks between them and their once loyal audience. ABC has promised to air seven consecutive new “Moonlighting” episodes. Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd star.
