Every Handel opera promises to be dazzling. With Riccardo Primo , baroque bel canto shines brightly, with the great Richard the Lionheart in the title role, conquering Cyprus… and coming to the rescue of the beautiful Costanza. 

Storm, shipwreck, misunderstandings, armed siege and happy ending  : in 1727, Riccardo Primo , re d'Inghilterra celebrates both the new King George II and Handel's recent naturalization. At London's King's Theatre, the greatest opera seria singers are gathered to perform a score of sublime, virtuosic or languid pages: the two sopranos Francesca Cuzzoni and Faustina Bordoni, famous rivals whose onstage squabbles the public eagerly anticipates… and the celebrated castrato Senesino, in a role of rare difficulty (Riccardo). 

Richard the First

Opéra de Dijon

A lyric tragedy in five acts and a prologue. Composed in 1693 for the Royal Academy of Music, with a libretto by Thomas Corneille. Premiered on December 4, 1693 in Paris.

Medea

Opéra Comédie

Poppea Sabina, one of the most bewitching figures of antiquity, aspires to rise to the rank of empress alongside her lover, the emperor Nero, who must repudiate his wife, Octavia, in order to do so. Power, desire, and ambition intertwine in this masterly work by Claudio Monteverdi, his last opera. Conducted by Leonardo García-Alarcón at the helm of Cappella Mediterranea, the concert version reveals the full dramatic power of this timeless opera. This production will tour Cologne, Geneva, Namur, Montreal, Toronto, and New York between May and July 2025.

Les Arts Florissants

Carnegie Hall

Les Arts Florissants’ new production of Purcell’s masterpiece invites us to plunge into an enchanting and playful universe — an enchanted forest where reality mingles with dreams, illusion, and the supernatural, as young people gather to indulge in the magic of nature. As the tunes and dances unfold, the boundaries between dancers, singers, and musicians become blurred … leading to the creation of an egalitarian and fraternal community, united by the joy of music. Renowned for his fusion of classical influence and contemporary innovation, French-Algerian choreographer Mourad Merzouki’s staging promises a unique, visually spectacular, and emotionally powerful evening.
