Le Sicilien aux arènes de Nîmes

Tenor

While working part-time as a food deliveryman, Antoine, an aspiring young rapper from the suburbs of Paris, meets Mrs. Loiseau, an eminent teacher at the Paris Opéra. Stunned by the young man's raw talent, she introduces him to the world of opera. As Antoine becomes one of Mrs. Loiseau's students, he hides his new dream from his friends and family, fearing that they won’t understand – this double life burdens him... Somewhere in between the gilded and uptight Parisian upper-class, and the harsh yet free-spirited and familiar suburbs he grew up in, Antoine will have to find his own voice.

Lohengrin

Spanish opera and theater director Calixto Bieito makes his debut with this grand romantic opera at the Staatsoper Unter den Linden, guiding the audience through his powerful interpretation. Elsa von Brabant is accused of fratricide, but no one dares to prove her innocence in this inexplicable case. Trapped in a reality that no one shares with her, a man enters her life, promising to fight for her—on one condition: Elsa must trust him blindly and never ask his name or origin. An intrigue causes Elsa to break her promise. The truth brings her brother back and reveals his divine origin, but she pays a heavy price.

A riveder le stelle

"Lucia de Lammermoor" should actually have opened this year's season. But Corona prevents the title heroine from stabbing her bridegroom to death in her madness. Instead of an opera premiere, La Scala is presenting a musical journey through the history of opera. This year, the world-famous opera house is replacing the originally planned performance due to the renewed outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in northern Italy - with a grand gala evening to benefit the artists hit hard by the coronavirus crisis. In the glamorous setting of the legendary Teatro alla Scala, some of the most beautiful voices on the international opera scene - such as Roberto Alagna, Jonas Kaufmann and mezzo-soprano Elīna Garanča - will sing famous arias from the repertoire, accompanied by La Scala's orchestra. The program is complemented by well-known ballet scenes and performances by actors.

The Metropolitan Opera: Carmen

Mezzo-soprano Clémentine Margaine reprises her remarkable portrayal of opera’s ultimate seductress, a triumph in her 2017 debut performances, with impassioned tenors Yonghoon Lee and Roberto Alagna as her lover, Don José. Omer Meir Wellber and Louis Langrée share conducting duties for Sir Richard Eyre’s powerful production, a Met favorite since its 2009 premiere.

The Metropolitan Opera: Samson et Dalila

A towering biblical epic, Saint-Saëns’s operatic take on the story of Samson and Delilah has many of the hallmarks of grand opera—show-stopping vocal displays, thrilling choruses, and an engrossing plot set against a sweeping, pseudo-historical backdrop. It’s fitting, then, that Samson et Dalila has been chosen to celebrate the opening of the Met’s season four times in the company’s history, including when Darko Tresnjak’s bold new production premiered on the first night of the 2018–19 season. A few weeks later, the opera was shown as part of the Met’s series of live cinema transmissions, featuring an exceptional cast. Tenor Roberto Alagna was the heroic Samson, who ultimately falls victim to the seductive power of Dalila—the captivating mezzo-soprano Elīna Garanča. Bass-baritone Laurent Naouri sang the sinister High Priest of Dagon, with conductor Sir Mark Elder on the podium.
