| Domkerk, Utrecht, Domplein, Utrecht 3512 JN, Netherlands Saturday 4-Sep-10 08:00pm Gilles Gilles probably didn’t intend it this way, but his Requiem was played at his own funeral, after his death at age 37. Soon, his mass would be one of the most popular settings, but after being used for Rameau’s funeral, the manuscript disappeared. Choir and orchestra, led by Jean-Marc Andrieu, perform the reconstructed Requiem, as well as Gilles’ Lamentations. | ||

| Aros Centre, Portree, Highland, Portree IV51, United Kingdom Monday 6-Sep-10 07:30pm Beautiful gypsies, obsession, intense emotion and some of the liveliest rhythms in opera…it can only be Carmen. This new production is set in 1960s Spain, a country firmly entrenched in General Franco’s right-wing regime. Women are oppressed, the gypsies ghettoised, the country is riddled with poverty, and black-market smuggling is rife. As a woman wanting to break free, the stakes are high for someone like Carmen. An outspoken gypsy with a beautiful face and a fiery temper, she sets her sights on the soldier Don José. His desire leads him to deny his friends and position and he is soon living the life of a smuggler in the desolate mountains of Spain. As his relationship with Carmen disintegrates and she leaves him for another, he sets out to prove his love, but Carmen has seen the future in her tarot cards and it isn’t a happy one. Bizet’s boldly seductive opera has been one of the world’s favourite operas for over a century. From the sultry ‘Habanera’ to the naively passionate ‘Flower Song’ and the rousing ‘Toreador’s Song’, Bizet’s ever-popular music brings out the earthy vitality of his characters. Ashley Dean, director of 2009’s Opera Highlights tour directs a fine ensemble cast.

| Opéra Bastille, Paris, 120 rue de Lyon, 75012 Paris, France Thursday 9-Sep-10 07:30pm Der Fliegende Höllander Halfway through its new Ring cycle, the Paris Opera will resound to the music of a young Wagner still wrapped in the mists of German Romanticism, between Schubert and Weber. Crossing the North Sea from Riga to London on board the Thetis in 1839, amid the howling wind and the crashing waves, Wagner heard the sailors tell the legend of the cursed sea-captain. The story, also told by Heinrich Heine, is recounted by Senta on her first appearance: rounding a dangerous cape during a storm and refusing to give up, the Dutchman defies Satan and is condemned to roam the seas for evermore unless a woman is willing to give up her life for him. In a troubling confusion of legend and real life, the Dutchman suddenly stands before Senta and stretches out his hand to her... The storm raging outside is perhaps less powerful than the one that shakes the heart. Recounting the impossibility of living and of redemption, Der fliegende Holländer is above all, and before Götterdämmerung, an opera about wished-for apocalypse.Orchestre de l'Opéra National de Paris Choeurs de l'Opéra National de Paris Peter Schneider, Conductor Willy Decker, Director Matti Salminen, Bass: Daland Adrianne Pieczonka, Soprano: Senta Klaus Florian Vogt, Tenor: Erik Bernard Richter, Tenor: The Steersman James Morris, Bass-baritone: Dutchman | ||

| Palais Garnier (Opéra de Paris), 75009 Paris, France Saturday 11-Sep-10 07:30pm One of Rossini's most exquisite scores, penned when the composer was only 21 years old, this is a comic opera of pristine charm and humour, full of twinkling, sparkling music and characters who seem freshly minted. The lovely Isabella embarks for Algiers to seek her beloved Lindoro, taken prisoner by the tyrant Mustafà. But the boat founders and the adventure begins... There are pirates, a harem, eunuchs, a palace by the sea, the whole wonderful panoply of oriental exotica still fashionable in the early 19th century. There is also the brilliant and virtuoso bel canto of which Rossini had the secret. And above all there is that zaniness he so cleverly injects into his theatre, as the machine he himself has made suddenly goes haywire, like the extravagant first act finale where the ensemble degenerates into a hubbub of onomatopoeia. Vivica Genaux leads the dance in Andrei Serban's joyous production.

| Citizens Theatre, Glasgow, 119 Gorbals Street, Glasgow G5 9DS, United Kingdom Sunday 12-Sep-10 07:30pm Beautiful gypsies, obsession, intense emotion and some of the liveliest rhythms in opera…it can only be Carmen. This new production is set in 1960s Spain, a country firmly entrenched in General Franco’s right-wing regime. Women are oppressed, the gypsies ghettoised, the country is riddled with poverty, and black-market smuggling is rife. As a woman wanting to break free, the stakes are high for someone like Carmen. An outspoken gypsy with a beautiful face and a fiery temper, she sets her sights on the soldier Don José. His desire leads him to deny his friends and position and he is soon living the life of a smuggler in the desolate mountains of Spain. As his relationship with Carmen disintegrates and she leaves him for another, he sets out to prove his love, but Carmen has seen the future in her tarot cards and it isn’t a happy one. Bizet’s boldly seductive opera has been one of the world’s favourite operas for over a century. From the sultry ‘Habanera’ to the naively passionate ‘Flower Song’ and the rousing ‘Toreador’s Song’, Bizet’s ever-popular music brings out the earthy vitality of his characters. Ashley Dean, director of 2009’s Opera Highlights tour directs a fine ensemble cast.

| Opéra Bastille, Paris, 120 rue de Lyon, 75012 Paris, France Tuesday 14-Sep-10 07:30pm Der Fliegende Höllander Halfway through its new Ring cycle, the Paris Opera will resound to the music of a young Wagner still wrapped in the mists of German Romanticism, between Schubert and Weber. Crossing the North Sea from Riga to London on board the Thetis in 1839, amid the howling wind and the crashing waves, Wagner heard the sailors tell the legend of the cursed sea-captain. The story, also told by Heinrich Heine, is recounted by Senta on her first appearance: rounding a dangerous cape during a storm and refusing to give up, the Dutchman defies Satan and is condemned to roam the seas for evermore unless a woman is willing to give up her life for him. In a troubling confusion of legend and real life, the Dutchman suddenly stands before Senta and stretches out his hand to her... The storm raging outside is perhaps less powerful than the one that shakes the heart. Recounting the impossibility of living and of redemption, Der fliegende Holländer is above all, and before Götterdämmerung, an opera about wished-for apocalypse.Orchestre de l'Opéra National de Paris Choeurs de l'Opéra National de Paris Peter Schneider, Conductor Willy Decker, Director Matti Salminen, Bass: Daland Adrianne Pieczonka, Soprano: Senta Klaus Florian Vogt, Tenor: Erik Bernard Richter, Tenor: The Steersman James Morris, Bass-baritone: Dutchman | ||

| Opéra Bastille, Paris, 120 rue de Lyon, 75012 Paris, France Friday 17-Sep-10 07:30pm In this unchanging Russia, people drink tea and watch the seasons go by. The only sorrows of existence are those brought to the surface by books, poetry and music. In this imperturbable flow of things, this comfortable ennui, Tatiana's letter suddenly opens up the fissures of the heart to reveal with implacable lucidity the violence of desire. Three characters made to love each other tear each other apart and, literally, kill each other. The tragic is no longer what it was: love is impossible, though not because of some outside fate, be it willed by a god or by society. It is not stymied by anything external: hearts are incapable of their own happiness and work ceaselessly for their own ruin. Onegin kills his friend Lenski in a duel. Tatiana, in love but married to another, rebuffs the same Onegin to whom she had once so passionately offered herself: an ordinary tragedy, but not in the least blunted by its ordinariness. Thus Tchaikovsky subsumes Pushkin into his dreamscape and invents a new operatic language of lyrical and exacerbated sensibility. Alongside Olga Guryakova, Ludovic Tézier embodies this mythical operatic figure for the first time at the Paris Opera.Orchestre de l'Opéra National de Paris Choeurs de l'Opéra National de Paris Vasily Petrenko, Conductor Willy Decker, Director Nadine Denize, Soprano: Madame Larina Olga Guryakova, Soprano: Tatyana Alisa Kolosova, Contralto: Olga Nona Javakhidze, Mezzo-soprano: Philippyevna Ludovic Tézier, Baritone: Eugene Onegin Joseph Kaiser, Tenor: Lensky Gleb Nikolski, Bass: Prince Gremin Jean-Paul Fouchécourt, Tenor: Monsieur Triquet Ugo Rabec, Bass: Zaretsky | ||
