| Opernhaus, Zürich, Opernhaus Falkenstrasse 1, Zürich 8008, Switzerland Monday 20-May-13 02:00pm Jim Hawkins dreams of one day being master of the seas and visiting far-off lands. Instead, he is forced to help his mother at the Golden Anchor tavern – day in, day out. When a guest dies, Jim finds a treasure map in his seaman’s chest – the treasure map of the late pirate Captain Flint. And Jim already finds himself embarking on the most exciting adventure of his life. An expedition to Treasure Island is organised, and Jim is allowed to sail on the Hispaniola together with Captain Smollett, Doctor Livesey, Baroness Trelawney, Lily and Scarlett. On the high seas, however, it transpires that Captain Flint’s former comrades have been hired to crew the ship, including the one-legged ship’s cook, Long John Silver. The pirates are also in search of treasure, and they succeed in snatching one half of the treasure map. Once they arrive on the island, a feverish search for the gold begins, during which the protagonists’ luck changes several times.
Treasure Island, by the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, is a classic of the adventure genre and has kept generations of young readers on tenterhooks. The composer Frank Schwemmer and his librettist Michael Frowin – both already successful with their opera for children, Robin Hood – have allowed themselves to be gripped by Stevenson’s thrilling story, and have adapted it for the stage. Their full-length opera is suitable for all pirate lovers from the age of six.In German.Thomas Rösner, Conductor Nadja Loschky, Director Henrik Ahr, Set Designer Fabio Trümpy, Tenor: Jim Hawkins Oliver Widmer, Baritone: John Silver Ivana Rusko, Soprano: Lily Irène Friedli, Soprano: Baroness Trelawney Reinhard Mayr, Bass: Captain Smolett Martin Zysset, Tenor: Bill Bones / Ben Gunn | ||

| La Monnaie | De Munt: Grand Hall, Brussels, Muntplein-Place de la Monnaie, 1000 Brussels, Belgium Thursday 23-May-13 07:00pm The fatal temptation to seek the truth in love: men and women scorch their hearts and wings in trying to unlock the secret of emotions. How quickly perversity and cruelty oust desire and tenderness. Here Mozart enters into a dialogue with Marivaux and Sade. As in his previous operas, he succeeds in producing an incredible tension, a breathtakingly beautiful structuring of the text (his third collaboration with Da Ponte) and the music. Director Michael Haneke, one of the most incisive and insightful film-makers of our time, presents us with his vision of a work that is as spell-binding, serious, complex and at times light as it is formidably modern, where the experience of infidelity transforms the four characters by laying bare their frailty. For the Austrian director, this is his first time at La Monnaie, while Ludovic Morlot conducts his second opera of the season.Image credit: © Flore-Aël Surun / Tendance Floue Ludovic Morlot, Conductor Michael Haneke, Director Christoph Kanter, Set Designer Anett Fritsch, Soprano: Fiordiligi Andreas Wolf, Baritone: Guglielmo Juan Francisco Gatell, Tenor: Ferrando Kerstin Avemo, Soprano: Despina William Shimell, Baritone: Don Alfonso Orchestre Symphonique et Choeurs de la Monnaie | ||

This latest opera from Glass, his 24th, was commissioned by ENO and Teatro Real Madrid to mark his 75th birthday.
British theatre director Phelim McDermott returns following his spectacular production of Satyagraha for ENO and the Metropolitan Opera, New York, described as ‘transfixing musically and visually’ (The Guardian). The design is by leading international designer Dan Potra, whose work on the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games ceremony was widely acclaimed.

| New Palace Sanssouci: Palace Theatre, Potsdam, Sanssouci Park, Am Neuen Palais, 14469 Potsdam, Germany Friday 7-Jun-13 05:00pm Peter's Wedding: Premiere Sung in Danish with German supertitles Since he was Prince Henry’s Hofkapellmeister (court conductor) in Rheinsberg, Johann Abraham Peter Schulz was a highly esteemed person in Prussia’s musical scene. Having been appointed royal Kapellmeister (conductor) he moved to Copenhagen in 1787. His inspiring work and his achievements in terms of musically educating the people cannot be valued highly enough. As a "song man of the people" he wanted to speak to the people with an art that takes the art out of art. With his musical comedy "Peters Bryllup" (Peter’s Wedding) he succeeded to the extent that the Danes fully adopted his tunes as their own and the term "national" Danish music was used for the very first time. Thomas Thaarup’s scenes depicting the lives of simple farmers and seamen offer slices of realism despite the idyllic setting. Topics such as the trade in slaves and the abolishment of serfdom were quite explosive. At Palace Theatre Sanssouci L’ARTE DEL MONDO return the delightful piece to the stage for the first time ever as part of their "Opera from the world’s archives" season which was initiated by Bayer Kultur. Coproduction with L’ARTE DEL MONDO and Bayer Kultur, supported by the Capital City Potsdam, the State of Brandenburg, the Artfoundation NRW and the Ministry of Family, Children, Youth, Culture and Sports of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia; in cooperation with Copenhagen Opera Festival

| La Monnaie | De Munt: Grand Hall, Brussels, Muntplein-Place de la Monnaie, 1000 Brussels, Belgium Friday 7-Jun-13 07:00pm The fatal temptation to seek the truth in love: men and women scorch their hearts and wings in trying to unlock the secret of emotions. How quickly perversity and cruelty oust desire and tenderness. Here Mozart enters into a dialogue with Marivaux and Sade. As in his previous operas, he succeeds in producing an incredible tension, a breathtakingly beautiful structuring of the text (his third collaboration with Da Ponte) and the music. Director Michael Haneke, one of the most incisive and insightful film-makers of our time, presents us with his vision of a work that is as spell-binding, serious, complex and at times light as it is formidably modern, where the experience of infidelity transforms the four characters by laying bare their frailty. For the Austrian director, this is his first time at La Monnaie, while Ludovic Morlot conducts his second opera of the season.Image credit: © Flore-Aël Surun / Tendance Floue Ludovic Morlot, Conductor Michael Haneke, Director Christoph Kanter, Set Designer Anett Fritsch, Soprano: Fiordiligi Andreas Wolf, Baritone: Guglielmo Juan Francisco Gatell, Tenor: Ferrando Kerstin Avemo, Soprano: Despina William Shimell, Baritone: Don Alfonso Orchestre Symphonique et Choeurs de la Monnaie | ||

| Opernhaus, Zürich, Opernhaus Falkenstrasse 1, Zürich 8008, Switzerland Sunday 9-Jun-13 02:00pm Jim Hawkins dreams of one day being master of the seas and visiting far-off lands. Instead, he is forced to help his mother at the Golden Anchor tavern – day in, day out. When a guest dies, Jim finds a treasure map in his seaman’s chest – the treasure map of the late pirate Captain Flint. And Jim already finds himself embarking on the most exciting adventure of his life. An expedition to Treasure Island is organised, and Jim is allowed to sail on the Hispaniola together with Captain Smollett, Doctor Livesey, Baroness Trelawney, Lily and Scarlett. On the high seas, however, it transpires that Captain Flint’s former comrades have been hired to crew the ship, including the one-legged ship’s cook, Long John Silver. The pirates are also in search of treasure, and they succeed in snatching one half of the treasure map. Once they arrive on the island, a feverish search for the gold begins, during which the protagonists’ luck changes several times.
Treasure Island, by the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, is a classic of the adventure genre and has kept generations of young readers on tenterhooks. The composer Frank Schwemmer and his librettist Michael Frowin – both already successful with their opera for children, Robin Hood – have allowed themselves to be gripped by Stevenson’s thrilling story, and have adapted it for the stage. Their full-length opera is suitable for all pirate lovers from the age of six.In German.Thomas Rösner, Conductor Nadja Loschky, Director Henrik Ahr, Set Designer Fabio Trümpy, Tenor: Jim Hawkins Oliver Widmer, Baritone: John Silver Ivana Rusko, Soprano: Lily Irène Friedli, Soprano: Baroness Trelawney Reinhard Mayr, Bass: Captain Smolett Martin Zysset, Tenor: Bill Bones / Ben Gunn | ||
