Zurich Opera presents Giuseppe Verdi’s stunning opera, A Masked Ball, filled with desire, treachery and political peril.

Verdi’s A Masked Ball

An Emperor’s court decays around him; a princess, haunted by inherited trauma, plays a deadly game of riddles; a visiting prince takes one look and decides to risk his life for love. The stakes could not be higher.

Theatre Royal Glasgow

World-renowned Scottish director Sir David McVicar brings his visionary storytelling to bear on Puccini’s epic, final opera in this, its centenary year.

There are worse places to find yourself trapped than Club Amnesia. Here, Alcina – performance artist extraordinaire – captivates the men who swarm around her, bending their minds, and reality, to her will. But when she meets Ruggiero, her heart finally softens. Then Ruggiero’s fiancée – disguised as a man to rescue her lost lover – arrives, and a clash of head and heart threatens to shatter the magic, hedonism, and fantasy of Alcina’s illusions.

Alcina

Leonore has been waiting for news of her husband for two long years. Rumour has it he is dead; she suspects that he has been secretly imprisoned by a corrupt nobleman. In despair and hope, she takes matters into her own hands, disguising herself as a man and taking a job with the kindly gaoler Rocco. As Fidelio – the faithful one – her hard work earns Rocco’s respect, not to mention the affections of his daughter. Risking everything, can she rescue her husband and reclaim their lost life?

Fidelio

Olivia Fuchs, director of 2025’s five-star The Makropulos Affair, transports Handel’s romantic fantasy to the vibrant, flamboyant, all-intoxicating club scene, joyfully toying with opera’s power and gender dynamics.

Beethoven’s only opera – a remarkable outlier in his expansive body of works – is a triumphant tale of freedom of conscience in the face of oppression, affirming the power of the human spirit to overcome the worst of circumstances.

Poulenc’s La Voix humaine is a one-act opera of raw intensity and searing beauty. Through a single, devastating telephone call, Poulenc captures heartbreak and vulnerability with music that is both intimate and overwhelming. Acclaimed soprano Carolyn Sampson brings this emotional tour de force to vivid life, making it an unforgettable focal point for this evening of musical storytelling.
