New operas, a new team - Welsh National Opera approaches its 75th anniversary
[…] production of Jenůfa [originally seen in 1998 and last seen in 2008, see the review in The Guardian] with Amanda Majeski making her role debut in the title role. Majeski made a big impression in the title role of Janáček's Kat'a Kabanova at Covent Garden last year [see my review], so we will be keen to see what she makes of another troubled Janáček heroine. The key role of the Kostelnička is taken by Helena Zubanovich with Ed Lyon as Števa. Tomáš Hanus conducts.The other major opera in the Autumn is Migrations, this will have a libretto which weaves six different stories of migration written by Shreya Sen Handley, Edson Burton, Miles Chambers, Eric Ngalle Charles and Sarah Woods working with David Pountney to create the libretto influenced by their own personal experiences of migration and working with refugees. David Pountney directs and Matthew Kofi Waldren conducts, with a cast […]

Bayerisches Staatsoper Wagner Ring 2018 : Die Walküre
In Munich, the Bayerische Staatsoper struck gold with its current revival of the Ring, with an astonishingly good cast in this Die Walküre - Nina Stemme, Anja Kampe, Ekaterina Gubanova, Simon O'Neill, Ain Anger and John Lundgren, and Kirill Petrenko conducting with more intensity than ever before. A good cast of Valkyries, too, some of them significant names in their own right - Daniela Köhler, Karen Foster, Anna Gabler, Michaela Selinger, Helena Zubanovich, Jennifer Johnston, Okka von Damerau and Rachael Wilson. Wonderful singing, and playing, so delicious that you savour every moment. The unique character of O'Neill's voice expresses Siegmund’s tortured soul with psychological insight - extraordinarily moving. Kampe (O’Neill’s other half) interacted well with him, the pair clearly "twins" with old souls, in contrast Anger’s virile Hunding. Anger sings gloriously, and sounds fresh and full of vigour. But we know what is about to happen. Stemme is a striking […]

[…] conducting operas. It was also a nice reminder that operas are living arts and that I need to keep an open mind and open ears watching operas, no matter how high the expectation is.I don’t think there will be any scheduled performances of Arminio anywhere in the world next season, at least those announced yet. Saturday, February 25, 2017 – Prokofiev’s “The Fiery Angel” at Bayerische Staatsoper, Munich(Evgeny Nikitin, Ausrine Stundyte, Heike Grötzinger, Helena Zubanovich, Vladimir Galouzine, Kevin Conners, Okka von der Damerau, Igor Tsarkov, Peter Lobert, Ulrich Reß, Sean Michael Plumb, Matthew Grills, Christian Rieger, Andrea Borghini, Selene Zanetti, Alyona Abramowa, conducted by Michail Jurowski and directed by Barrie Kosky) The last opera of this trip turned to be the most colorful one. This was another example of acclaimed productions that drew my interest in seeing it. I saw Barrie Kosky’s productions of “The Magic Flute” and “Dido […]
