| The London Coliseum, St. Martin's Lane, London WC2N 4ES, United Kingdom Monday 24-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).

"I've written Hanjo, as if it were a dream. The protagonist, Hanako ,lives in a world of madness, which is beyond our everyday reality, for a long time waiting for the man she loves. When he finally comes back, she no longer recognizes him. The image of this man in her head has become more real than the man who is actually in front of her.

| Opernhaus, Zürich, Opernhaus Falkenstrasse 1, Zürich 8008, Switzerland Tuesday 25-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 | ||

| Opernhaus, Zürich, Opernhaus Falkenstrasse 1, Zürich 8008, Switzerland Thursday 27-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 | ||

There this tepest-tossed creature can only be redeemed by a woman, Otherwise his endless odyssey continues. Will Senta be that woman? After all, she longs to break free from the confining world of her father. All he ever thinks about is money. Isn't the wealthy Dutchman just what the doctor ordered? Wagner's gripping early work: a psycho-thriller of operatic literature. Peter Konwitschny has already provoked audiences to delight and disgust with his spectacular Parsifal and Tristan und Isolde productions. This Munich Holländer is something you just "have" to see. A sea and see journey on the waves of the orchestra.

| Opernhaus, Zürich, Opernhaus Falkenstrasse 1, Zürich 8008, Switzerland Friday 28-Jun-13 07:30pm Libretto by Felice Romani after the novel L’Etrangère
By Charles-Victor Prévost Vicomte d’Arlincourt
Vincenzo Bellini’s operas La sonnambula and Norma have become classics of the bel canto repertoire. La straniera, on the other hand, which Bellini wrote at the age of 27, is rarely seen on the operatic stage, although the highly romantic melodramma moved the audience to veritable raptures during its 1829 première performance at Milan’s Teatro alla Scala. To a libretto by Felice Romani, the opera revolves around a heavily veiled, mysterious stranger who passes through the country. The local inhabitants are afraid of her and believe that she is possessed by the devil. By contrast, Count Arturo, who is just about to marry Isoletta, finds her irresistibly attractive. He has no idea that the stranger is the banished wife of the King of France.
La straniera marks Bellini’s renunciation of Rossini’s opulent style in favour of pure, expressive melody, as Verdi praised in Bellini’s work: “Vi sono melodie lunghe lunghe lunghe, come nessuno ha fatto prima di lui” (There are long, long, melodies like no-one has ever written before him). Richard Wagner was also full of admiration for Bellini’s melodic invention and “genuine passion and sentiment”, and declared that the right singer need only stand up and sing, “and the audience will be in raptures.”
In Zurich’s new production of La straniera, the stage will be graced by Edita Gruberova, the prima donna assoluta of bel canto par excellence. She will be giving her stage début as Alaide at Zurich Opera House, and will continue her successful collaboration with the director Christof Loy in Zurich after productions of Lucrezia Borgia and Roberto Devereux at the Bavarian State Opera. Fabio Luisi, who has frequently championed rarely performed bel canto works, will conduct the production.In Italian with German and English surtitles.Co-production with Theater an der Wien.Fabio Luisi, Conductor Christof Loy, Director Annette Kurz, Set Designer Edita Gruberová, Soprano: Alaide Véronica Simeoni, Soprano: Isoletta Gregory Kunde, Tenor: Count Arturo of Ravenstel Franco Vassallo, Baritone: Baron Valdeburgo Benjamin Bernheim, Tenor: Osburgo Pavel Daniluk, Bass: Signore di Montolino | ||
