| Davies Symphony Hall, San Francisco, CA, San Francisco, CA 94102, United States Thursday 20-Jun-13 02:00pm The Rite of Spring and Gil Shaham Stravinsky’s music has been a passion of Michael Tilson Thomas’s since he met the composer while studying at USC. Fitting that the music of Stravinsky plays a prominent part in the season. Audience favorite Gil Shaham interprets the exuberant, lilting, and vibrantly expressive concerto, while the SFS dives into The Rite of Spring. | ||

| Het Muziektheater, Amsterdam, Waterlooplein 22, Amsterdam, Netherlands Thursday 20-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 | ||

Lutoslawski, meanwhile, launched brilliant musical fireworks into the grey skies of postwar Poland. Edward Gardner loves them both, and he begins and ends this concert with two of the twentieth century’s most original – and inspiring – symphonies. In between, something magical happens, as soprano Lucy Crowe re-tells Sibelius’s primal northern myth - and proves that Lutoslawski’s enchanted nursery rhymes aren’t just for children. (£10-£42) | ||

| Aldeburgh Church, Aldeburgh IP15 5DY, United Kingdom Friday 21-Jun-13 03:00pm Britten–Pears Young Artists II A concert that juxtaposes the sounds of a horn quartet with viola – Hindemith and Britten’s own instrument – is an alluring prospect, and the instruments’ very essence seems to be represented here. The viola’s burnished eloquence weeps in memorials by Hindemith and Bridge and spins fantastical tales in Schumann’s fairy stories; the horn’s heritage celebrated in smooth cantilenas and quicksilver caprice. Ghosts lurk here too – the horn virtuoso Dennis Brain and his quartet, and Britten, whose deft arrangements of other people’s music so often blends poetry and polish, working with the grain to reveal new beauty beneath the veneer. | ||

One hundred years ago, Diaghilev, Nijinsky, Stravinsky and Monteux—legends all—triggered the most scandalous evening in ballet history with the premiere of The Rite of Spring. The combination of Stravinsky’s revolutionary music and Nijinsky’s startlingly un-balletic choreography caused a riot. Now universally admired, the music has lost none of its freshness and power. | ||

| Opernhaus, Zürich, Opernhaus Falkenstrasse 1, Zürich 8008, Switzerland Friday 21-Jun-13 07:00pm Lady Macbeth of Mzensk Opera in nine scenes
Libretto by Alexander G. Preis and Dmitri Shostakovich
after a novella by Nikolai Leskov
The young wife of a merchant, Katerina Ismailova, murders three people. She stirs rat poison into her tyrannical father-in-law’s dish of mushrooms, beats her husband to death together with her lover, and at the prison camp in Siberia, as she finally jumps to her death, drags a rival down with her. Nevertheless, in a horrific men’s world of greed, lechery and violence, Katerina is the only figure with a human face in this opera. Only for her has Shostakovich reserved a compassionate tone. The society in which she becomes a murderess is barbaric. With twisted mouths, the grotesque faces of human wickedness grin out at us from Shostakovich’s magnificent score.
Lady Macbeth of Mzensk was premièred in Leningrad in 1934. It marks a decisive turning point in Shostakovich’s oeuvre. After Joseph Stalin attended a performance of the opera in 1936, the famous article entitled Chaos instead of music was published in Pravda. The work was scourged as the expression of “radical left-wing self-indulgence” and “petit bourgeois innovation”. It disappeared from theatres, Shostakovich had to fear for his life, never composed another opera, and from then on concealed his true musical feelings and ideas behind a thousand masks.
Teodor Currentzis, the spirited Greek conductor from Siberia who has caused a furore with his unconventional interpretations, is the musical director of the production. Tatjana Serjan, famous for her Verdi roles, will be giving her role début as Katerina. Zurich Opera Director Andreas Homoki will be staging his second production of this season.

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 | ||

| Hong Kong Cultural Centre: Concert Hall, 10 Salisburg Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong, China Friday 21-Jun-13 08:00pm Trpčeski's Rachmaninov Our cycle of Rachmaninov concertos starring Simon Trpceski reaches its climax in these concerts. The Fourth Concerto was composed in the United States – and includes more than a hint of New York jazz energy. The initial failure of his First Symphony famously scarred its composer for years – but more recently this work has been recognised for its many beautiful Rachmaninov moments. His gothic tone poem The Rock opens the concert in dark and mysterious style. | ||

Opera star Karita Mattila, Italian bass-baritone Luca Pisaroni and the exceptionally talented percussionist Martin Grubinger are bound to make the evening an unforgettable experience.

| Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ: Main Hall, Amsterdam, Piet Heinkade 1, Amsterdam 1019 BR, Netherlands Friday 21-Jun-13 08:30pm Licht op de langste dag On the longest day of the year, the Netherlands Radio Chamber Philharmonic take their last bow – with an optimistic gesture. Supported by Visual Kitchen’s video and lighting design, four compositions on the theme of ‘light’ are performed. Two of these are brand new, an emphatic statement by the orchestra to leave something behind for the future. Dutch composer Matijs de Roo, a finalist at last year’s Toonzetters competition, has created a punchy and fast moving orchestral work; the French composer Pascal Dusapin (previously at the festival with Passion and Medea) has written a violin concerto titled Aufgang, which is performed by Renaud Capuçon. The orchestra will also play the sprightly Lumen II by Régis Campo and L’heure bleue by the Japanese composer Misato Mochizuki, a musical interpretation of the ‘blue hour’ of twilight.
Tickets €27.50 - 22.50, students/CJO €17.50 all categories.
