Gewitter und Sturm
[…] as his Met Sarastro had in 1998. The deluxe casting of veteran Dolora Zajick didn’t entirely come off as much of the role lies uncomfortably low for her but she still created a frighteningly strict Mary who easily dominated the first part of the second act during which the village girls sew rather than spin.

Says a cast change announcement from the Met: AJ Glueckert will make his Met debut as Erik in Wagner’s Der Fliegende Holländer and will sing the role in the first four performances of the opera at the Met this season on April 25, 29matinee, May 4, and 8.

Joyce to sing Violetta at Glyndebourne
Some of the singer highlights of the 2017 festival: The Canadian soprano Joyce El-Khoury shares the role of Violetta with Russian soprano Kristina Mkhitaryan, both making festival debuts, in Tom Cairns’s 2014 revived staging of Verdi’s La traviata. Alice Coote sings her first Vitellia in Mozart’s La Clemenza di Tito. Allan Clayton sings Hamlet, Sarah Connolly is Gertrude and John Tomlinson is the Ghost of Old Hamlet in a world premiere of Brett Dean’s new Shakespearian opera. Barbara Hannigan makes her Glynde debut as Ophelia. An almost all-American cast for Ariadne auf Naxos: AJ Glueckert as Bacchus, Angela Brower as Composer and Erin Morley as Zerbinetta, with the Norwegian Operalia winner Lise Davidsen, making her UK debut as Ariadne.
