Carmen
Oct 27, 2011Dans cette production prestigieuse au Gran Teatre del Liceu, le monde célèbre et très controversé metteur en scène de Calixto Bieito, admiré pour ses mises en scène premières et évocateur, voit dans la réalisation de Carmen la gitane mythique et touche à des questions sensibles telles que le racisme, la xénophobie et politique de droite. Bieito évoque une atmosphère sensuelle et réaliste pleine de symbolisme puissant. Un quatuor exceptionnel de stars vocales, dirigés par un «splendide et sensuelle" (El Periódico) Béatrice Uria-Monzon dans le rôle-titre, offre l'une des plus excitantes Carmens ces dernières années: Roberto Alagna comme Don José, Erwin Schrott le rôle d'Escamillo et Marina Poplavskya que Micaëla. Enregistrement live du Gran Teatre del Liceu, Octobre 2010.
Les Noces de Figaro
Feb 17, 2006Près de Séville, au Château Almaviva, à la fin du XVIIIe siècle. Figaro et Suzanne, respectivement valet et camériste du Comte et de la Comtesse Almaviva, préparent leurs noces. Mais leur joie risque d’être ternie par les audaces du Comte, prêt à tout pour séduire la future mariée. Aidés de la Comtesse, elle-même délaissée par son époux volage, Figaro et Suzanne devront faire preuve d’imagination pour déjouer les pièges d’Almaviva, éviter les chausse-trapes sournoises des Marceline, Bartholo et autre Basile, et utiliser au mieux les maladresses de Chérubin, jeune page enflammé. Rythmée par d’incroyables quiproquos, qui glissent en clin d’œil vers d’indicibles instants de mélancolie, la Folle Journée verra s’abattre les masques un à un et mettre à nu la vérité des cœurs.
Enregistré en direct au « Royal Opera House », Covent Garden, Londres, Royaume-Uni, les 10, 13 et 17 février 2006.

Mozart: Don Giovanni
Jul 27, 2008A striking interpretation of Mozart's opera that became a sensation at the 2008 Salzburg Festival. This is not only a rethinking of the place and time of the opera, but also a deep disclosure of the characters' characters, their ambiguous inner world. A simple, at first glance, plot is turned by the creators of the play into a dynamic psychological thriller.

Les Vêpres siciliennes
Oct 30, 2013The French have occupied Sicily, and Hélène is held hostage by Montfort, the French governor, who has had her brother executed. She turns to the partisan Jean Procida and the rebellious patriot Henri in her bid for vengeance. Les Vêpres siciliennes is one of Verdi’s lesser-known mature operas, but was vital to his development as a composer. It was created for the Paris Opéra in 1855, providing Verdi with an opportunity to embrace the elaborate style and traditions of French grand opera. First seen at the Royal Opera House in 2013, this staging of Verdi's rarely-performed opera Les Vêpres siciliennes – directed by Stefan Herheim and conducted by The Royal Opera’s Music Director, Verdi specialist Sir Antonio Pappano – went on to win the prestigious Olivier Award for Best New Opera Production.

Apr 30, 2019Disillusioned with life, the aged philosopher Faust calls upon Satan to help him. The devil Méphistophélès appears and strikes a bargain with the philosopher: he will give him youth and the love of the beautiful Marguerite, if Faust hands over his soul.

Jun 03, 2018The “superb, sinister” Tales of Hoffmann at the Dutch National Opera with “excellent soloists, the impressive John Osborn” (Theaterkrant) and “Christine Rice, a vocally and physically voluptuous Giulietta” (bachtrack.com), “mezzosoprano Irene Roberts, who plays and sings brilliantly” (Groene Amsterdammer) and “Erwin Schrott, singing the four villains for the first time, made it look like a blast.” (bachtrack.com) “Les Contes d'Hoffmann is a parade of golden voices”. (Volkskrant) Maestro Rizzi conducted with elegance and momentum the chorus and the “excellent playing Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra”.

L'Elisir D'amore - Sferisterio
Jul 01, 2002At the end of July 2002 the time had come again. An audience of 5000 had gathered to listen to the new production of Gaetano Donizetti’s L’elisir d’amore under the direction Saverio Marconi, conducted by Niels Muus. The orchestra was seated in an enormous box that was put on the stage, while the singers, in traditional costumes by Silvia Aymonino, performed on stage in front of it, among them the young Valeria Esposito as Adina, Aquiles Machado in the role of Nemorino, Enrico Marrucci as Belcore and the very young Erwin Schrott as Dulcamara.
The Royal Opera House: Faust
Jan 01, 1970Disillusioned with life, the aged philosopher Faust calls upon Satan to help him. The devil Méphistophélès appears and strikes a bargain with the philosopher: he will give him youth and the love of the beautiful Marguerite, if Faust hands over his soul.

Mefistofele
May 16, 2016Presented at Baden-Baden’s Pentecost Festival, this production of Boito’s Mefistofele captured the hearts of both audiences and critics—a rare feat! The success was unmistakably due in great part to the presence of Erwin Schrott—already celebrated for his performance as a seductive, witty, and diabolical Mephistopheles in Gounod’s Faust. The masterfully subtle Charles Castronovo incarnates the disillusioned philosopher Faust, who makes a deal with the devil. Philipp Himmelmann’s staging combines simple elements (a stage curtain made of silvery filaments and a giant protean skull) to incredible effect to tell the story of Goethe’s Faust.
