| Opernhaus, Zürich, Opernhaus Falkenstrasse 1, Zürich 8008, Switzerland Monday 20-May-13 02:00pm Jim Hawkins dreams of one day being master of the seas and visiting far-off lands. Instead, he is forced to help his mother at the Golden Anchor tavern – day in, day out. When a guest dies, Jim finds a treasure map in his seaman’s chest – the treasure map of the late pirate Captain Flint. And Jim already finds himself embarking on the most exciting adventure of his life. An expedition to Treasure Island is organised, and Jim is allowed to sail on the Hispaniola together with Captain Smollett, Doctor Livesey, Baroness Trelawney, Lily and Scarlett. On the high seas, however, it transpires that Captain Flint’s former comrades have been hired to crew the ship, including the one-legged ship’s cook, Long John Silver. The pirates are also in search of treasure, and they succeed in snatching one half of the treasure map. Once they arrive on the island, a feverish search for the gold begins, during which the protagonists’ luck changes several times.
Treasure Island, by the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, is a classic of the adventure genre and has kept generations of young readers on tenterhooks. The composer Frank Schwemmer and his librettist Michael Frowin – both already successful with their opera for children, Robin Hood – have allowed themselves to be gripped by Stevenson’s thrilling story, and have adapted it for the stage. Their full-length opera is suitable for all pirate lovers from the age of six.In German.Thomas Rösner, Conductor Nadja Loschky, Director Henrik Ahr, Set Designer Fabio Trümpy, Tenor: Jim Hawkins Oliver Widmer, Baritone: John Silver Ivana Rusko, Soprano: Lily Irène Friedli, Soprano: Baroness Trelawney Reinhard Mayr, Bass: Captain Smolett Martin Zysset, Tenor: Bill Bones / Ben Gunn | ||

| National Theatre, Munich, Munich, Germany Monday 20-May-13 06:00pm Men don't fall in love with courtesans! That's the opinion of Alfredo's father after his son moves in with the mortally ill Violetta Valéry. In her love for Alfredo Violetta even agrees. She leaves him, dies poor, ill – still dreaming of the happiness of true love. One of Verdi's most beloved operas continues to hold the mirror up to society and its hypocritical morality. An exemplary production! See it!

| Kings Place: Hall One, London, 90 York Way, London N1 9AG, United Kingdom Wednesday 22-May-13 07:30pm Talk and Concert: Orient in Song The great Goethe, when in his sixties, fell under the spell of Hafiz, the 14th century Persian poet. Hafiz’s poetry inspired Goethe to create the ‘West-Östlicher Divan’ – a collection of love poems, epigrams and drinking songs. Goethe’s verses in turn inspired composers such as Franz Schubert and Felix Mendelssohn, while poems of Hafiz were set to music by Hugo Wolf and Richard Strauss. Join us as we explore Europe’s century-long love affair with the Orient through poetry, painting and song. Ravel, Maurice (1875-1937), Shéhérazade (excerpts) | ||

| Southbank Centre: Royal Festival Hall, London, Belvedere Road, London SE1 8XX, United Kingdom Wednesday 22-May-13 07:30pm Sir Andrew Davis conducts the Philharmonia Orchestra in London Sir Andrew Davis conducts a concert celebrating the exact 200th anniversary of Wagner’s birth, showcasing the British Wagner tradition and featuring one of the composer’s finest achievements. The Walküren (or Valkyries) of the title are an army of maidens who ride through the air on horseback. We see twin brother and sister, Siegmund and Sieglinde, fall in love, thereby committing both adultery and (unwittingly) incest. The former is subsequently killed by Wotan, although Brünnhilde (Wotan's warrior Valkyrie daughter) saves Sieglinde in the nick of time. The opera reaches a blazing climax during the unforgettable Third Act, when Brünnhilde is punished by Wotan, who surrounds her with a ring of fire that can only be crossed by a fearless hero destined to be none other than Sieglinde's eventual son, Siegfried. This concert also launches Wagner 200, a wideranging, London-based festival to celebrate the bicentenary of Richard Wagner’s birth, featuring events from May to November 2013 in association with leading venues and producers. It is the culmination of a day of activity at Southbank Centre, including pop up open-air performances on the riverside terraces and balconies featuring young singers and performers.

| La Monnaie | De Munt: Grand Hall, Brussels, Muntplein-Place de la Monnaie, 1000 Brussels, Belgium Thursday 23-May-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 Ludovic Morlot, 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 | ||
