Carmen
Georges Bizet (1838 – 1875)
CARMEN was a deliberate and direct affront to the Romantic operatic tradition. The fiercely independent spirit of the eponymous heroine was the polar opposite of the passive suffering of the female characters that had populated the opera stage up to that point ... On 17 February 2019
La Rondine
Giacomo Puccini (1858 – 1924)
LA RONDINE is one of Puccini's more uncommonly performed operas. The work was originally planned as an operetta. But while working on the piece, Puccini elected for the through-composed form of an opera, although it is much lighter, more lyrical and less dramatic than TOSCA or TURANDOT. With Ermonela Jaho and Charles Castronovo et al. ... On 20 February 2019
Salome
Richard Strauss (1864 – 1949)
Claus Guth is an acknowledged expert when it comes to plumbing the depths of human psychology, coining symbols and choreographing people’s actions to a ‘t’. His SALOME dispenses with sultry eroticism against an Oriental backdrop and is set instead in the ostensibly idyllic 1950s. A drama of souls played out onstage. With Allison Oakes, Thomas Blondelle, Gabriele Schnaut and Michael Volle ... On 24 February 2019
Boris Godunov
Modest P. Mussorgskij (1839 – 1881)

La Sonnambula
Vincenzo Bellini (1801 – 1835)
Amina, a poor orphan, and Elvino, the richest farmer in the village, are looking forward to their wedding. But when Amina is caught in the room of Count Rodolfo, who has recently returned after a long absence, this idyll in the Swiss Alps collapses … On 19 May 2019
Rigoletto
Giuseppe Verdi (1813 – 1901)
For better or worse, despite his grotesque physique, the hunchbacked jester-hero has to get his audience laughing. His daughter Gilda seems angelic by contrast - and yet human through and through in her unconditional love and self-sacrifice. With Markus Brück, Siobhan Stagg and Yijie Shi ... On 27 April 2019
