Event Details
With the flickering of a candle, love sparks. Two hands meet in the dark and four friends’ lives are changed forever.
The way first love grabs hold and floods you with something you’ve never felt before. The fire that burns the first time jealousy flares. The growing up you do in the instant that you realise love can’t last forever. Puccini takes these achingly human feelings and sets them to music — music that soars with the ecstasy of love, crackles with the pain of jealousy and cries with the agony of loss.
Some human emotions are too big for words alone, and for that, we have music. La Bohème exposes your soul to the feelings that only music can express.
Gale Edwards’ glittering production is set among the fishnets and fairy lights of 1930s bohemian Berlin.
Two brilliant casts share the season led by three Australian conductors. Joyce El-Khoury and Ivan Magrì make their Australian debuts as Mimì and Rodolfo, alongside the return of audience favourites Anna Princeva, Samuel Dundas, Maija Kovalevska, Diego Torre, Julie Lea Goodwin, Luke Gabbedy and Lorina Gore.

Sänger*innen und Publikum lieben Belcanto! Wir zeigen nach Anna Bolena eine weitere Oper aus Donizettis Trilogie über die Dynastie der Tudors. Die unglückliche Liebesgeschichte zwischen Roberto und Elisabeth I. von England, die Devereux letztendlich das Leben kosten wird, hat der Komponist in wunderbar gefühlvolle Melodien gegossen. Am Ende der Oper erkennt die Königin, dass sie keine Hoffnung mehr auf eine glückliche Zukunft hat, verzichtet auf den Thron und beendet die Herrschaft des Hauses Tudor. Das Lieben, Leiden und Schmachten der Figuren erreicht uns beim Zuhören unmittelbar. Eine große Huldigung an die Gesangskunst des Komponisten von Der Liebestrank (L’elisir d’amore)! Für die Karlsruher Ensemblemitglieder Kammersängerin Ina Schlingensiepen als Königin Elisabeth, Eleazar Rodriguez als Roberto Devereux und Armin Kolarczyk in der Rolle des Herzogs von Nottingham sind Donizettis Melodien Parade-Partien.
Der britische Regisseur und Belcanto-Spezialist Harry Fehr gibt nach Erfolgen in Großbritanien und Dänemark mit Roberto Devereux sein Deutschland-Debüt am STAATSTHEATER.

Festival Napa Valley uncorks its 14th season with a glamorous alfresco celebration and a performance by three of the world’s most exciting opera stars at Meadowood Napa Valley.
Soprano Joyce El-Khoury, tenor Francesco Demuro, and baritone Lucas Meachem perform operatic favorites with the Festival’s Blackburn Music Academy Orchestra on the estate’s elegant Redwood Fairway.
The Lebanese-Canadian soprano Joyce El-Khoury has performed at some of the world’s most esteemed opera houses. Celebrated for her “star power and superb vocal presence” (BachTrack), she has gained a reputation for bringing rarely performed works to life. Joining her are Grammy Award-winning baritone Lucas Meachem, who was praised by the San Francisco Chronicle for his “fluent, lyrical phrasing,” and named San Francisco Opera’s 2016 Emerging Star of the Year, and festival favorite Sardinian tenor Francesco Demuro, celebrated for his “open, bright, superbly focused tone…reminiscent of Pavarotti” (Opera News).
Star power, a gourmet feast prepared by Meadowood’s exceptional culinary team, and Napa’s finest wines – Festival Napa Valley kicks off in style.

The world of opera comes to the Barn stage with international singers Joyce El-Khoury (soprano) and Jason Howard (baritone). Receiving Juno attention for her debut album Écho, Joyce has performed leading roles around the world from the Sydney Opera House to Glyndebourne, Canadian Opera Company, Opera National de Bordeaux, Bavarian State Opera and Santa Fe. Of her recent portrayal of Violetta at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, critics wrote that “her pianissimi are exquisite, her coloraturas bold, fearless and immaculate, and the expressiveness of her timbre touches the heart.”
Raised in the rich singing tradition of South Wales, Jason Howard is now recognized as one of the UK’s leading performers on the international operatic stage. Known for having a voice “as rich and smooth as old port”, Jason has sung to critical acclaim throughout Europe and North America, in addition to his many UK engagements.
Accompanied by Brian Finley at the piano, the program includes Vissi D’Arte (Tosca), Credo (Otello), and other arias and duets selected from Don Giovanni, La traviata, Eugene Onegin, The Merry Widow and more.

Massenet / Puccini: maître et génie
C’est un parfum de charme, de sensualité et d’amour que distille cette matinée. Suite-pastiche du célèbre opéra Manon, Le Portrait de Manon (1894) – seul opéra-comique de Massenet – transporte les spectateurs auprès d’un homme, Des Grieux, vieillissant, nostalgique et méfiant de l’amour au point de refuser à son jeune protégé d’épouser une certaine Aurore à la filiation peu claire. La partition simple, pleine de grâce et de tendres émotions répond à celle imaginée par Puccini dans son premier opéra composé en 1884, Le Villi, créature fantastique, vengeant impitoyablement l’amour bafoué.
Formes poétiques et formes musicales font corps, mélodies et harmonies développent une rare puissance évocatrice, renforcée par des orchestrations élégantes. Tout concourt à l’expression de l’amour. Sentiment célébré par une distribution de luxe, placée sous la baguette de Guy Condette, ancien directeur de l’Orchestre et de l’Opéra de Limoges.
Artiste complet, Tassis Christoyannis est particulièrement apprécié pour ses qualités de musicien et de comédien. Il est l’un des rares barytons à pouvoir chanter aussi bien Des Grieux que Guglielmo dans Le Villi. Joyce El-Khoury, par sa présence magnifique et sa voix remarquable investit le rôle d’Anna dans Puccini. La jeune mezzo-soprano française Victoire Bunel donne au rôle travesti de Jean dans Massenet toute sa musicalité et la richesse de son timbre. Ils sont accompagnés du ténor géorgien Irakli Kakhidzé, de la jeune soprano belge Sheva Tehoval et du ténor marseillais de renommée internationale Luca Lombardo.

Event Details
130 years after the death of a composer, rarely are such works discovered that substantially alter our view of the oeuvre. Ferenc Liszt was a unique composer in this regard as well: the surviving first act of the opera he based on Byron’s tragedy was first performed in Weimar in 2018.
The manuscript of the composition was found at Weimar’s Goethe and Schiller Archive, and David Trippett, a musicologist at the University of Cambridge, thinks the music of Sardanapalo is breath-taking. It reflects the influence of Bellini, Meyerbeer and Wagner, and it combines an Italian lyricism with Liszt’s unmistakably original harmonic vocabulary. Trippett reconstructed the piece from the manuscript, and also wrote an orchestration for it, and this is the version that will be performed in Budapest.
Kirill Karabits, the conductor of the Weimar premiere believes the music is magnificent and enchanting, and the piece has opened a new chapter in the history of 19th century.

Imagine watching the world pass you by…but being unable to do anything about it. Such was the fate of thousands who succumbed to a mysterious sleeping sickness, rendering them immobile and voiceless for more than forty years. As time went on, daughters grew up without their mothers, husbands remarried, and mothers wasted away from grief. Decades later, a brilliant young doctor discovered a revolutionary treatment to bring his patients back to life in a world they no longer recognized. Based on the true story of Dr. Oliver Sacks, Awakenings is a moving story of memories, loss, and life rediscovered.
