Le célèbre opéra de Richard Wagner, Tristan et Iseult, enregistré au Festival d'Aix-en-Provence en 2021.

For the first time in company history, the Met presents the original five-act French version of Verdi’s epic opera of doomed love among royalty, set against the backdrop of the Spanish Inquisition. Patrick Furrer leads a world-beating cast of opera’s leading lights in this March 26 performance, including tenor Matthew Polenzani in the title role, soprano Sonya Yoncheva as Élisabeth de Valois, and mezzo-soprano Elīna Garanča as Eboli. Bass Günther Groissböck and bass-baritone John Relyea are Philippe II and the Grand Inquisitor, and baritone Étienne Dupuis rounds out the all-star principal cast as Rodrigue. Verdi’s masterpiece receives a monumental new staging by David McVicar that marks his 11th Met production, placing him among the most prolific and popular directors in recent Met memory. This live cinema transmission is part of the Met’s award-winning Live in HD series, bringing opera to movie theaters across the globe.

Passions run high as Manrico and the Count di Luna compete for the affections of Leonora. Little do they know, Manrico’s mother Azucena has been keeping a terrible secret for decades. Soon a curse from the past will rise up from the ashes with devastating implications for them all. Starring Rachel Willis-Sørensen, Yusif Eyvazov, Gregory Kunde, Ludovic Tézier and Jamie Barton, Adele Thomas’s energetic staging sets Verdi’s tale in a Hieronymus Bosch-inspired universe of medieval superstition. On the podium, Antonio Pappano conducts Verdi’s dramatic score, featuring the famous Anvil chorus.

Cette année encore, le Konzerthaus présente son célèbre concert de Noël, devenu un indispensable des fêtes de fin d’année à la viennoise. Pièces de compositeurs tels que Haendel et Schubert et chants traditionnels du monde entier se mêleront pour former un programme festif empreint de magie. Pour cette nouvelle édition, le ténor Vincent Schirrmacher, la soprano Miriam Kutrowatz et la mezzo-soprano Jamie Barton, ainsi que Matthias Bartolomey au violoncelle, et Klemens Bittmann au violon et à la mandole, sont accompagnés par les chanteurs de la Wiener Singakademie, le chœur d'enfants des Petits Chanteurs de Vienne et l’Orchestre symphonique de la radio de Vienne, sous la baguette de Claire Levacher.

Nabucco, King of Babylon, takes Jerusalem in his war with the Israelites – but his daughter Fenena loves the Israelite Ismaele. She releases their prisoners, leading her vengeful half-sister Abigaille to plot to take power. Nabucco declares himself a god and is struck by a bolt of lightning. Abigaille tricks the now feeble king into signing a death warrant for the Israelites, including Fenena and Ismaele. Nabucco prays to the God of Israel for forgiveness; his sanity is restored and he saves the prisoners from death. He converts himself and his people, while Abigaille commits suicide.

La superstar légendaire Plácido Domingo et le directeur musical émérite du Met James Levine poursuivent leur partenariat historique dans cette représentation de l'opéra qui a rendu célèbre le compositeur Giuseppe Verdi. Domingo incarne Nabucco, le roi de Babylone, qui devient surnaturellement fou lorsqu'il se proclame Dieu, puis recouvre la santé lorsqu'il se repent. Liudmyla Monastyrska est la cruelle et perfide Abigaille, soi-disant la fille aînée de Nabucco mais en réalité une esclave, qui s'empare de la couronne et complote la mort de sa sœur Fenena (Jamie Barton), qui aime Ismaele (Russell Thomas), tout comme Abigaille. Avec Dmitry Belosselskiy comme grand prêtre de Jérusalem, Zaccaria.

As the incestuous lovers Siegmund and Sieglinde, soprano Eva-Maria Westbroek and tenor Stuart Skelton—alongside bass Günther Groissböck as Sieglinde’s bloodthirsty husband, Hunding—round out the principal cast. And on the podium, Maestro Philippe Jordan conducts Robert Lepage’s innovative staging, which uses state-of-the-art stage technology to tell Wagner’s mythic tale.

Get ready for Das Rheingold, the first chapter in Richard Wagner’s four-part epic, The Ring of the Nibelung. Travel to a world where gods, giants, and dwarves vie for control over the realms of myths and mortals.

A father’s blinding ambition and a daughter’s profound defiance drive the story forward in the cycle’s dramatic second installment. This Ring production is partly #MeToo, partly environmental—and almost entirely American.

As the end nears for the gods, and human ambition rules the world, Alberich’s son Hagen hatches a plot to take control of the ring, threatening the union of Siegfried and Brünnhilde. Fueled by greed, Hagen’s actions lead to chaos and destruction, until Brünnhilde steps forward to return the world to its natural order.
