Maggio Musicale Fiorentino Theatre

Richard Wagner's redemption operas continually invite new interpretations. Joana Mallwitz was already deeply involved with the composer's oeuvre during her time as General Music Director in Nuremberg. Director and musician Johannes Erath will stage the Baden-Baden Lohengrin production. He began his directing career as an assistant to Willy Decker, worked at the Semperoper in Dresden among other venues, and has been awarded the Götz Friedrich Prize and the Austrian Music Theater Prize.

Richard Wagner: Lohengrin

Festspielhaus Baden-Baden

Based on Oscar Wilde’s one-act play, Salome has been thrilling and fascinating audiences for more than a century. Lyric Opera of Chicago brings Sir David McVicar’s decadent production — which is set in 1940s fascist Italy and sheds a harsh light on the timeless greed and entitlement of the elite — to Chicago.

This gory thrill ride returns to Lyric for the first time in 20 years starring Elena Stikhina in the demanding title role of a teenage femme fatale whose infatuation has fatal implications, alongside Lyric favorites Brandon Jovanovich and Tanja Ariane Baumgartner.

The Knights of the Holy Grail are in decline. Their ruler, Amfortas, is ailing from an unhealable wound. While the knight Gurnemanz wistfully recalls the prophecy of a guileless youth who will restore the order, he refuses to believe that the naive, young man before him could be that savior. And so the youth, Parsifal, leaves on what will become a journey that will bring him full circle back to the knights.

For the first time in 25 years, Wagner’s final opera returns in a brand-new San Francisco Opera production. Matthew Ozawa— whose work was last seen in the acclaimed Orpheus and Eurydice—directs this meditation on compassion, focusing on the intersection of Eastern and Western spiritual traditions in a mythical world of knights and sorcerers.

Music Director Eun Sun Kim continues her exploration of Wagner’s works through this sublime score, brought to life with a cast of Wagnerian superstars joined by the San Francisco Opera Orchestra, Chorus, and Dancers.

War Memorial Opera House

Luciano Berio, one of the most prominent Italian composers of the twentieth century, had a very special relationship with tradition and created numerous arrangements, orchestrations and transcriptions of very different composers - from Monteverdi to Mahler and the Beatles. While he was more cautious in other arrangements, in the work that he completed in 1989 under the title "Rendering", his ability as an arranger merges almost completely with his original compositional talent. The work is based on Schubert's fragments of Symphony No. 10 in D major, D 936A, of which those of the Andante in B minor, in Berio's and others' opinion, already anticipate Mahler's music. "This restoration follows the principles of a modern restoration of frescoes, which seeks to revive the old colours without, however, covering up the damage caused by time, often leaving irreversible empty spots in the composition," emphasizes Luciano Berio.


Andris Poga – Mahler »The Song of the Earth«

Laeiszhalle Hamburg

Elektra relentlessly invokes the past, her trauma, her burning desire for revenge: Her father Agamemnon, barely back from the Trojan War, is dead, murdered in his bath by her mother Clytemnestra and her lover Aegisthus. Richard Strauss wrote music of piercing power, profound and relentless, which offers no redemption to any of the characters until Elektra's ecstatic final dance. Following her visually stunning production of "Der Rosenkavalier" at the Zurich Opera House, director Lydia Steier now turns her attention to Strauss's dark counterpart. On the podium is the Lausanne-born conductor and designated Zurich General Music Director Lorenzo Viotti. In the demanding title role, Finnish soprano Miina-Liisa Värelä makes her Zurich debut.

Isolde loves Tristan, and Tristan loves Isolde. A love with no alternative, no chance, because Isolde is to marry King Marke in order to seal the peace between Ireland and Kareol.

Tristan und Isolde

Vienna State Opera

The men who succumb to her and perish because of her cannot and do not want to know who Lulu really is. But therein lies the tragedy of Lulu, who kills Dr. Schön, the only person who really means something to her, and ultimately falls victim to the murderer of women, Jack the Ripper, as a run-down prostitute in London.
