| Dresden Staatskapelle, D 01067 Dresden, Germany Tuesday 16-Mar-10 19:00 Dresden State Opera Performed in Italian with German surtitles The painter Cavaradossi helps the escaped prisoner of state Angelotti. The police chief Scarpia is after Cavaradossi’s capricious sweetheart, the singer Tosca. He brings together her jealousy and tendency to histrionics with his own interests in making her his own, and at the same time clearing his rival Cavaradossi and his political opponent Angelotti out of the way. A diabolical game begins, in which Tosca recognises to late that it is not she who is deceiving Scarpia, but him deceiving her. She betrays Angelotti, who commits suicide. Scarpia promises her a mock execution of Cavaradossi, who helped Angelotti escape. When the time comes for her to pay the price – belonging to him – she kills him. The mock execution turns out to be a deception. Tosca kills herself.

| Sydney Opera House: Opera Theatre, Sydney 1225, Australia Tuesday 16-Mar-10 19:30 Opera Australia It has to be one of Opera Australia's most celebrated productions. Inspired by Shakespeare's poetry and Benjamin Britten's music, visionary director Baz Luhrmann dreamt up a colour-drenched realm of midsummer magic where Indian gods, British colonials and rustic clowns collided, colluded and sometimes fell in love. Now A Midsummer Night's Dream is back. It all starts with a boy. Tytania, Queen of the Fairies, is besotted with a young Indian Prince.With the help of mischievous Puck, King Oberon plans his humiliating revenge, conjuring up a web of enchantment. Meanwhile, a merry band of mortals, including four lovers and some rough and ready thespians, have wandered into the fairies realm. As the night plays out Oberon ends up catching more than he expects.

| Sydney Opera House: Opera Theatre, Sydney 1225, Australia Wednesday 17-Mar-10 19:30 Bliss - World Première Opera Australia "Harry Joy was to die three times, but it was his first death which was to have the greatest effect on him…" Bliss is a novel which defines a generation. No-one forgets the opening line of Peter Carey’s darkly comic fable, which charts the adventures of Harry Joy, an advertising executive who, after having a close encounter with death, finds himself sucked into a Kafkaesque series of events. In 2010 the lights go up on a new opera based on Bliss, commissioned by Opera Australia, directed by Neil Armfield, starring Peter Coleman-Wright and conducted by Elgar Howarth, who has conducted many world premieres of new works. Brett Dean is one of the most exciting composers to have emerged in the world of classical music in recent years. His music is by turns fascinating, atmospheric and disarmingly beautiful. Amanda Holden is an award-winning translator and librettist who has written more than fifty works for the stage. The combination of Brett Dean’s music, Amanda Holden’s words and Peter Carey’s kaleidoscopic imagination is a potent one. Add in the directorial vision of Neil Armfield, the choreography of Kate Champion and the electrifying stage presence of Peter Coleman-Wright, and this new production will be dynamite.

| Civic Opera House, Chicago IL60606, United States Thursday 18-Mar-10 14:00 In Italian with projected English translations. “La folle journée” (“The Crazy Day”) was the subtitle of Beaumarchais’ comedy on which Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart based his opera, one of the greatest creations in the entire repertoire. It centers on a single frantic day in the life of Aguas Frescas, the castle of Count Almaviva. The Count has designs on Susanna, maid of the Countess. Susanna is to be married this very day to the count’s valet, Figaro, which doesn’t stand in the way of the Count’s keeping an assignation with her. But he reckons without Figaro and Susanna who – aided by the Countess – conspire to teach the philandering Count a lesson. Others figuring prominently in the plot are the amorous young page, Cherubino; an older couple, Dr. Bartolo and Marcellina, who turn out to be Figaro’s parents, to his amazement; Susanna’s devious music master, Basilio; and Antonio, the Count’s gardener.

| Oslo Opera House, Main Stage, Oslo, Norway Thursday 18-Mar-10 18:00 Norwegian Opera Sung in German with Norwegian and English subtitles. Running time about 5 hours. Since he visited the The Norwegian National Opera with Julius Caesar in 2005 and 2007, Stefan Herheim has strengthened his position as one of Europe's most exciting directors. In March he returns with a major new production of Richard Wagner's Tannhäuser. This work has been long in the making. Tannhäuser's opening night in Dresden in 1845 was a triumph. However, Richard Wagner was never entirely happy with it and revised the opera several times. Fifteen years after the first performance he radically extended the mount of Venus scene and introduced this with a ballet in a groundbreaking new tonal language. This led to the most infamous scandal in opera history. That was in Paris in March 1860, and exactly 150 years later the National Opera is presenting this version for the first time in Norway. In his possessed quest for his true self, Wagner's antihero, the minnesinger Tannhäuser, is torn between lustful ecstasy and deep devotion – brought to life through Venus, the erotic goddess, and Elisabeth, who represents pure, devotional love. Tannhäuser is brutally wrenched between these extreme opposites. In his despair he sets out on a pilgrim journey to the Pope in Rome to receive absolution. One of the numerous musical highlights in this work is his account of this painful experience. Christian Badea, Conductor Stefan Herheim, Director John Keyes, Tenor: Tannhäuser Elisabet Strid, Soprano: Elisabeth Judit Németh, Mezzo-soprano: Venus Magne Fremmerlid, Bass: Landgraf Hermann Olaf Bär, Baritone: Wolfram von Eschenbach Norwegian Opera Orchestra | ||

| The London Coliseum, London, United Kingdom Thursday 18-Mar-10 19:00 Bampton Classical Opera Performed in Sanskrit with English surtitles. Running time 3 hrs 15 mins. One of the most visually spectacular opera stagings of recent decades, ENO's London premiere production of Philip Glass's Satyagraha broke all Company box-office records for contemporary opera when it was first seen in 2007. Instilled with breath-taking theatrical flair by Improbable's award-winning director-designer partnership of Phelim McDermott and Julian Crouch, it went on to enjoy equal success at the Metropolitan Opera, New York. A mesmerisingly hypnotic musical meditation upon Mahatma Gandhi's early years in South Africa, and his spiritual progress towards the concept of non-violent protest, Glass's operatic masterpiece now returns to the London Coliseum. Alan Oke repeats his compelling central performance as the young political activist taking the first tentative steps in his lifelong search for truth. Phelim McDermott, Director Alan Oke, Tenor: M.K.

| Sydney Opera House: Opera Theatre, Sydney 1225, Australia Thursday 18-Mar-10 19:30 Opera Australia New Production. Puccini s great aria, 'Vissi d'arte', is a moment when time stands still. Who could resist such a heartbreaking appeal? And who could resist the glorious voice of Nicole Youl in the title role of Opera Australia's first new production of Puccini's Tosca for nearly thirty years? Although we think of Puccini as the ultimate romantic, Tosca is anything but. There is love, but there is also jealousy, lust and murder. In this new production, originally created for Opera North, director Christopher Alden meets the casual brutality and violence head on. An evocative set, designed by Charles Edwards, locates the action in a run-down church vestry with a confessional which serves first as a hiding place for Angelotti and later as a torture chamber. The result is hugely powerful.

| The London Coliseum, London, United Kingdom Friday 19-Mar-10 19:00 Bampton Classical Opera Performed in Sanskrit with English surtitles. Running time 3 hrs 15 mins. One of the most visually spectacular opera stagings of recent decades, ENO's London premiere production of Philip Glass's Satyagraha broke all Company box-office records for contemporary opera when it was first seen in 2007. Instilled with breath-taking theatrical flair by Improbable's award-winning director-designer partnership of Phelim McDermott and Julian Crouch, it went on to enjoy equal success at the Metropolitan Opera, New York. A mesmerisingly hypnotic musical meditation upon Mahatma Gandhi's early years in South Africa, and his spiritual progress towards the concept of non-violent protest, Glass's operatic masterpiece now returns to the London Coliseum. Alan Oke repeats his compelling central performance as the young political activist taking the first tentative steps in his lifelong search for truth. Phelim McDermott, Director Alan Oke, Tenor: M.K.

| Opera House /Oopperan päänäyttämö, Helsinginkatu 58 PL 176, Helsinki 00250, Finland Friday 19-Mar-10 19:00 Finnish National Opera Governor Riccardo is in love with Amelia, the wife of Renato. This gives Renato an excellent reason to join a conspiracy against the Governor. At a fancy dress ball, Renato takes his vengeance. Verdi took as the subject for his opera the historical assassination of King Gustav III of Sweden, but censorship required the action and characters to be transposed to Boston. The last time that Un ballo in maschera was produced at the Finnish National Opera, the original libretto had been restored. This time, however, Vilppu Kiljunen’s production takes us to modern-day Boston and the world of high politics where even human emotions are a matter of public relations. Performed in Italian, with surtitles in Finnish and English. Vilppu Kiljunen, Director Giorgio Casciarri, Tenor: Riccardo ( or Gustavo) Claire Rutter, Soprano: Amelia Hannu Niemelä, Baritone: Renato or (Count Anckarström) Dilber, Soprano: Oscar Isabel Vera, Mezzo-soprano: Ulrica (or Madame Arvidson) | ||

| Sydney Opera House: Opera Theatre, Sydney 1225, Australia Friday 19-Mar-10 19:30 Opera Australia It has to be one of Opera Australia's most celebrated productions. Inspired by Shakespeare's poetry and Benjamin Britten's music, visionary director Baz Luhrmann dreamt up a colour-drenched realm of midsummer magic where Indian gods, British colonials and rustic clowns collided, colluded and sometimes fell in love. Now A Midsummer Night's Dream is back. It all starts with a boy. Tytania, Queen of the Fairies, is besotted with a young Indian Prince.With the help of mischievous Puck, King Oberon plans his humiliating revenge, conjuring up a web of enchantment. Meanwhile, a merry band of mortals, including four lovers and some rough and ready thespians, have wandered into the fairies realm. As the night plays out Oberon ends up catching more than he expects.

Arguably the finest-ever American melodist, George once admitted “I have more tunes in my head than I could put down on paper in a hundred years.” Ira (nicknamed “The Jeweler” by other songwriters) crafted the witty lyrics that fit perfectly into George’s timeless tunes. It comes together beautifully in this glittery revue combining the DPO with the prodigious talents of pianist Bates and vocalists Saxon and Cannon.

| Lincoln Center: Metropolitan Opera House, New York City 10023, United States Friday 19-Mar-10 20:00 Metropolitan Opera Riccardo Muti, a champion of the Verdian tradition, makes his Met debut with one of the composer’s rousing early operas. This story of civilization’s encounter with barbarism is explored in a new production by director Pierre Audi. Some of the brightest lights in contemporary design, including Miuccia Prada and the architecture team of Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron (the 2008 Beijing Olympics “Bird’s Nest” stadium), have created the costumes and scenery. “Our approach is to stay very close to the descriptions supported by Verdi: destruction, rubble, lagoon, forest, darkness—all in a very naturalistic way,” explain Herzog and de Meuron. Ildar Abdrazakov sings the title role, joined by Violeta Urmana, Ramón Vargas, and Carlos Alvarez.

| Sydney Opera House: Opera Theatre, Sydney 1225, Australia Saturday 20-Mar-10 13:00 Bliss - World Première Opera Australia "Harry Joy was to die three times, but it was his first death which was to have the greatest effect on him…" Bliss is a novel which defines a generation. No-one forgets the opening line of Peter Carey’s darkly comic fable, which charts the adventures of Harry Joy, an advertising executive who, after having a close encounter with death, finds himself sucked into a Kafkaesque series of events. In 2010 the lights go up on a new opera based on Bliss, commissioned by Opera Australia, directed by Neil Armfield, starring Peter Coleman-Wright and conducted by Elgar Howarth, who has conducted many world premieres of new works. Brett Dean is one of the most exciting composers to have emerged in the world of classical music in recent years. His music is by turns fascinating, atmospheric and disarmingly beautiful. Amanda Holden is an award-winning translator and librettist who has written more than fifty works for the stage. The combination of Brett Dean’s music, Amanda Holden’s words and Peter Carey’s kaleidoscopic imagination is a potent one. Add in the directorial vision of Neil Armfield, the choreography of Kate Champion and the electrifying stage presence of Peter Coleman-Wright, and this new production will be dynamite. Peter Coleman-Wright, Baritone: Harry Joy Lorina Gore, Soprano: Honey B Barry Ryan, Baritone: Alex David Corcoran, Tenor: David Taryn Fiebig, Soprano: Lucy Kanen Breen, Tenor: Johnny Milijana Nikolic, Mezzo-soprano: Mrs Dalton Henry Choo, Tenor: Aldo / Nigel Clunes Elgar Howarth, Conductor Neil Armfield, Director Opera Australia Chorus Australian Ballet Orchestra | ||
