| Het Muziektheater, Amsterdam, Waterlooplein 22, Amsterdam, Netherlands Thursday 13-Jun-13 05:30pm In his only comic opera, Wagner distilled poetry and music into a single unified form that unfolds as an unbroken stream of music-dramatic dialogue. It became a singspiel, partly based on personal experience, about the romance between the bourgeois girl Eva Pogner and the knight Walther von Stolzing, who may only wed his beloved once he has won the annual singing contest. The cobbler Hans Sachs represents, on the one hand, the old guard as a member of the Guild of Mastersingers; on the other hand he is open to modernization and stimulates the knight’s artistic gifts, stoking the conflict between narrow-mindedness and true artistry – a theme certainly not unfamiliar to Wagner himself. Love triumphs in the end, thanks to Sachs’ closing address in which he praises the ‘master’s honour’, a typically German honour one might view with considerable scepticism: the Meistersinger finale was, after all, misused for political purposes.Running time 5 hours 25 minutes with two intervals, in German with Dutch and English surtitles.Image credit: Ada Nieuwendijk Marc Albrecht, Conductor David Alden, Director Thomas Johannes Mayer, Bass: Hans Sachs Alastair Miles, Bass: Pogner Pascal Pittie, Tenor: Kunz Vogelgesang Mattijs van de Woerd, Baritone: Konrad Nachtigall Adrian Eröd, Baritone: Sixtus Beckmesser Thomas Oliemans, Baritone: Fritz Kothner Brian Galliford, Tenor: Balthasar Zorn Roberto Saccà, Tenor: Walther von Stolzing Ana Maria Martinez, Soprano: Eva Sarah Castle, Mezzo-soprano: Magdalene Nederlands Philharmonisch Orkest Koor van De Nederlandse Opera Marcel Beekman, Tenor: Ulrich Eisslinger | ||

Two new short operas from South Africa and Sweden premiere in Stockholm, before travelling to Cape Town “All is a procession. The universe is a procession with measured and perfect motion.”.
In 2010, CTO’s hugely popular Five:20 – Operas Made in South Africa initiative assembled five newly commissioned works by local composers and librettists. Now the project goes international in an exciting North-South collaboration, as CTO teams up with Stockholm’s University College of Opera to present a pair of cutting-edge thirty-minute operas. Swedish composer Carl Unander-Scharin brings his innovative use of technology in performance to a setting of Walt Whitman’s I Sing the Body Electric, while Philip Miller creates a haunting exploration of the realities of working underground in a mine in Between a Rock and a Hard Place: A Dictionary of a Mining Accident. | ||

| Latvian National Opera, Riga, Riga LV-1050, Latvia Thursday 13-Jun-13 07:00pm Giacomo Puccini's Tosca is a tale about the battle between higher ideals and desires, the new and the old, and true love and true hate. In this production by director Dmitri Bertman, the colorful interiors of Rome set the stage for the passions felt by the opera diva Floria Tosca and the artist Cavaradossi, as well as for the complex relationship between Tosca and secret-police chief Scarpia, which, in the last act, plays out in an environment certainly atypical of Puccini's operas: Tosca's subconscious.Giacomo Puccini’s opera Tosca is an intense tale of the battle between higher ideas and desires, the new and the old, and true love and true hate. | ||

| The London Coliseum, St. Martin's Lane, London WC2N 4ES, United Kingdom Thursday 13-Jun-13 07:30pm Based on Peter Stephan Jungk’s novel and written by Philip Glass, one of the world’s most important composers, The Perfect American imagines the final years of Walt Disney’s life, including mythical imaginings of Abraham Lincoln and Andy Warhol. 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.

 | ||
| Palais Opéra, Liège, Espace Bavière, Boulevard de la Constitution, 4020 Liège, Belgium Thursday 13-Jun-13 08:00pm The première of Guillaume Tell by Grétry took place shortly after the French Revolution of 1789. The theme of a people in revolt against a repressive regime (in the original play, the Habsbourgs) will, therefore, have struck a chord with the Parisian audience at the time, as La Muette de Portici (Auber) did here, four decades later. But it was still necessary to transpose this icon into a comic opera. André-Modeste Grétry has highlighted, in this opera, the charms of harmony, melody and sparkling originality. A sweeping, profound style distinguishes its two finales, its situational arias, and, above all, its overture, in which he has managed to introduce the remarkable tune called the "Ranz des Vaches".
Guillaume Tell, the founding myth of Swiss freedom, is familiar to everyone: sentenced to prove his skill because he had refused to salute a bailiff's hat, the hero must pierce an apple placed on his son's head. In the Swiss legend, Guillaume Tell kills the notable to satisfy a thirst for vengeance. Is the freedom of men stronger than everything ?Orchestre Royal de Chambre de Wallonie Claudio Scimone, Conductor Stefano Mazzonis di Pralafera, Director Jean-guy Lecat, Set Designer Marc Laho, Baritone: Guillaume Tell (William) Anne-Catherine Gillet, Soprano: Madame Tell Lionel Lhote, Baritone: Gesler Liesbeth Devos, Soprano: Marie Patrick Delcour, Baritone: Melktal senior Stefan Cifolelli, Tenor: Melktal junior Roger Joakim, Baritone: Traveller | ||

 | ||
| Opernhaus, Zürich, Opernhaus Falkenstrasse 1, Zürich 8008, Switzerland Friday 14-Jun-13 07:00pm Following the success of the Prague première of Le nozze di Figaro, Mozart was immediately commissioned to write another opera. This time, Lorenzo Da Ponte chose the story of the Spanish nobleman Don Juan. The subject matter had been considered a crowd-puller for more than a century, due in particular to the spectacular demise of the hero. Don Giovanni invites the statue of the Commendatore, whom he has murdered, to dinner, and is swallowed up by the jaws of hell. However, the view of the hero had changed considerably since the Spanish dramatist and monk Tirso de Molina first brought the blasphemous deeds and just punishment of the villain to the stage in the 17th century. While de Molina was still entirely on the side of order, which is ultimately re-established through divine intervention, Mozart and Da Ponte turn the sexual braggart and seducer into a man whose unquenchable thirst for happiness calls into the question the very foundations of social coexistence. Don Giovanni thus becomes – involuntarily and perhaps even without realising it – a danger for the social order, which can be maintained only if it functions smoothly. In their comedy, which is shrouded in darkness throughout, Mozart and Da Ponte do not conceal the price that others have to pay for this kind of self-realisation. However, since they do not pass any final judgement and instead do justice to both sides, their work becomes a drama of humanity of indestructible power and relevance – a dramma giocoso that becomes all the more comic the more the tragic aspects behind the course of events become apparent.
The much-vaunted German director Sebastian Baumgarten will present his interpretation of Don Giovanni in Zurich. At the rostrum will be the young Robin Ticciati, a rising star among the new generation of conductors. Our Don Giovanni is the charismatic Peter Mattei, who is sought-after in this role from the Scala in Milan to the New York Met.In Italian with German and English surtitles.Robin Ticciati, Conductor Sebastian Baumgarten, Director Barbara Ehnes, Set Designer Marina Rebeka, Soprano: Donna Anna Julia Kleiter, Soprano: Donna Elvira Anna Gorbachyova, Soprano: Zerlina Peter Mattei, Baritone: Don Giovanni Pavol Breslik, Tenor: Don Ottavio Rafal Siwek, Bass: The Commendatore Ruben Drole, Baritone: Leporello Lukas Jakobski, Bass: Masetto | ||

Latvian National Opera, Riga Dauka Riga Opera Festival |
|
 | ||
| Latvian National Opera, Riga, Riga LV-1050, Latvia Friday 14-Jun-13 07:00pm As in the previous season, the Latvian National Opera will continue the popularization of Latvian opera music. Andris Dzenītis is one of the most talented, multi-faceted and internationally successful new Latvian composers. The main character of his new opera is an archetypal hero forever searching for the end of the horizon, walking a path that forever runs through ectasy and catasrophe. In this take on the story, Dauka is no longer a naive child, but an adult, who leaves materialistic society behind only to be met with unsurpassable resistance in his challenging adventures in the vast spirit world. Poet Kārlis Vērdiņš’ libreto is based on the classic children’s tale by Sudraba Edžus, interweaving modern timbral and textural discoveries with a viscerally Latvian feeling. | ||

| St George's Bristol, Great George Street, Off Park Street, Bristol BS1 5RR, United Kingdom Friday 14-Jun-13 07:30pm Opera Project: La Traviata In 1853 Verdi confirmed his place as the supreme Italian opera composer with La Traviata, a powerful story of love and honour.
This new production of his triumphant working of Dumas’ ‘La dame aux Camelias’ reveals the essence of opera at its heart, perfect for the intimate stage at St George’s. The clarity of the work rivals Mozart, and while the emotional dilemmas facing the three main protagonists are laid bare with simplicity and nuance, the impact and glorious colour of Verdi’s most famous work is not lost. | ||

 | ||
| The London Coliseum, St. Martin's Lane, London WC2N 4ES, United Kingdom Friday 14-Jun-13 07:30pm Two unspoken themes run throughout Britten’s much-admired opera: the impossible passion that a troubled writer forms for a fellow hotel guest, and the cholera epidemic which the authorities are all too keen to hush up. In Death in Venice, Britten revisits the subject of corruption of youth and innocence that so fascinated him and delivers a haunting theatrical experience of consummate power.
Deborah Warner’s production of Britten’s final opera celebrates the composer’s centenary year and reaffirms ENO’s position as the world’s leading producer of his operas. This production reunites award-winning director Warner with ENO Music Director Edward Gardner, who returns to Britten following ENO’s productions of Billy Budd (2012) and Peter Grimes (2009), for which his conducting was described as ‘deeply musical’ (Financial Times).

| The London Coliseum, St. Martin's Lane, London WC2N 4ES, United Kingdom Saturday 15-Jun-13 06:30pm Puccini’s gift for writing emotional music is brought to the fore in La bohème’s tale of doomed love in poverty-stricken Paris. One of the world’s most recognised and widely performed operas, it focuses on two central relationships: that of the poet Rodolfo, who falls in love with the pretty but consumptive seamstress Mimì; and the painter Marcello, who has a glamorous and popular on-off mistress, Musetta.
Jonathan Miller’s production for ENO has quickly become a company classic and here receives its second revival since its 2009 premiere. Inspired by Brassaï’s photographs of the Paris Left Bank in the 1930s, Miller modernises the original bohemian setting to evoke the stark poverty of the day, creating a highly effective contemporary resonance, citing the film Withnail and I as an inspiration. Playing Mimì is Kate Valentine, who in recent seasons has played the Countess in Fiona Shaw’s production of The Marriage of Figaro and an ‘excellent’ (The Times) Helena in Christopher Alden’s Olivier Award-nominated A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Gwyn Hughes Jones returns to the role of Rodolfo following his great success in ENO’s 2010 production, and recent acclaimed Pinkerton in Madam Butterfly.Jonathan Miller, Director Natascha Metherell, Revival Director Isabella Bywater, Set Designer Gwyn Hughes Jones, Tenor: Rodolfo Kate Valentine, Soprano: Mimì Richard Burkhard, Baritone: Marcello Angel Blue, Soprano: Musetta Andrew Craig Brown, Bass: Colline Duncan Rock, Baritone: Schaunard Simon Butteriss, Bass: Benoît | ||

The ticket price includes the cost of transport to and from the venue. Booking opens on 25th March
Two new short operas from South Africa and Sweden premiere in Stockholm, before travelling to Cape Town “All is a procession. The universe is a procession with measured and perfect motion.”.
In 2010, CTO’s hugely popular Five:20 – Operas Made in South Africa initiative assembled five newly commissioned works by local composers and librettists. Now the project goes international in an exciting North-South collaboration, as CTO teams up with Stockholm’s University College of Opera to present a pair of cutting-edge thirty-minute operas. Swedish composer Carl Unander-Scharin brings his innovative use of technology in performance to a setting of Walt Whitman’s I Sing the Body Electric, while Philip Miller creates a haunting exploration of the realities of working underground in a mine in Between a Rock and a Hard Place: A Dictionary of a Mining Accident. | ||

| La Monnaie | De Munt: Grand Hall, Brussels, Muntplein-Place de la Monnaie, 1000 Brussels, Belgium Saturday 15-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 Thomas Rösner, 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 | ||

| ||
| Palais Opéra, Liège, Espace Bavière, Boulevard de la Constitution, 4020 Liège, Belgium Saturday 15-Jun-13 08:00pm The première of Guillaume Tell by Grétry took place shortly after the French Revolution of 1789. The theme of a people in revolt against a repressive regime (in the original play, the Habsbourgs) will, therefore, have struck a chord with the Parisian audience at the time, as La Muette de Portici (Auber) did here, four decades later. But it was still necessary to transpose this icon into a comic opera. André-Modeste Grétry has highlighted, in this opera, the charms of harmony, melody and sparkling originality. A sweeping, profound style distinguishes its two finales, its situational arias, and, above all, its overture, in which he has managed to introduce the remarkable tune called the "Ranz des Vaches".
Guillaume Tell, the founding myth of Swiss freedom, is familiar to everyone: sentenced to prove his skill because he had refused to salute a bailiff's hat, the hero must pierce an apple placed on his son's head. In the Swiss legend, Guillaume Tell kills the notable to satisfy a thirst for vengeance. Is the freedom of men stronger than everything ?Orchestre Royal de Chambre de Wallonie Claudio Scimone, Conductor Stefano Mazzonis di Pralafera, Director Jean-guy Lecat, Set Designer Marc Laho, Baritone: Guillaume Tell (William) Anne-Catherine Gillet, Soprano: Madame Tell Lionel Lhote, Baritone: Gesler Liesbeth Devos, Soprano: Marie Patrick Delcour, Baritone: Melktal senior Stefan Cifolelli, Tenor: Melktal junior Roger Joakim, Baritone: Traveller | ||
