Even if the new season hasn't been revealed yet, the big news is already buzzing through town: Rolando Villazon will direct his first opera in Jan/Feb 2011 in Lyon, Werther (with Karine Deshayes).
I wonder if, having sung the role so many times, he thinks he can bring a vision to Massenet's piece. I doubt it, but of course, I wouldn't want to miss it either...
Next season will also feature :
This 2010-11 season looks nothing like the current one, thank God.
- Tristan und Isolde conducted by Kirill Petrenko, with Gary Lehman
- Verdi's Luisa Miller directed by David Alden, conducted by Kazushi Ono, with Ermonela Jaho
- Poulenc's Les Mamelles de Tiresias, played with Darius Milhaud's Boeuf sur le toit (both rarities) conducted by Lyon-born Ludovic Morlot (premiere in Lyon)
- Stravinsky's Le Rossignol conducted by Kazushi Ono
- Mozart/Da Ponte trilogy in March, shown separately over the past few years, conducted by Stefano Montanari
- Rossini's Otello conducted by Evelino Pido [1]
- Rachmaninov's Aleko and Monna Vanna
- a Joyce DiDonato recital
This 2010-11 season looks nothing like the current one, thank God.
[1] A new concert-versions cycle is announced for the next few years with Pido: after Donizetti's queens-cycle, this one should be all about Bellini.
