“George Balanchine’s pure dance masterpiece.” – New York Times
Fifty years after its premiere at Lincoln Center, three of the world’s most celebrated ballet companies come together for a once-in-a-lifetime presentation of George Balanchine’s masterpiece, Jewels. For five performances on the same stage where it was premiered, the Paris Opera Ballet embodies Emeralds. New York City Ballet and the Bolshoi alternate Rubies and Diamonds, illuminating the different facets of Balanchine’s masterpiece like the sun catching on one of its namesake gems.Bolshoi Ballet Balanchine Jewels

The three-part, evening-length work traces Balanchine’s life and loves. Emeralds, set to Fauré, evokes the mystery and grace of France. Fueled by Stravinsky, Rubies crackles with jazz-inflected wit and sass, channeling the mid-century audacity of Manhattan. And breathtaking from the moment the lights go up, Diamonds conjures the grandeur of Imperial Russia, set to Tchaikovsky’s lush Third Symphony.

August 12–13 Rose Theater
An enthralling tribute to Schubert’s genius directed by Netia Jones and featuring tenor Ian Bostridge. “A powerful musical journey.”
– Guardian (U.K.) In this “enthralling” theatrical production (Telegraph, U.K.), Schubert’s poignant song cycle about lost love is refracted through the German composer Hans Zender’s contemporary orchestrations and director Netia Jones’s stunning monochrome imagery. Tenor Ian Bostridge—one of today’s foremost interpreters of Winterreise—sets out once more on the path of existential reflection brought to life by Jones’s film, projections, and stage design. Conceived and directed by Netia Jones,Ian Bostridge, tenor,International Contemporary Ensemble, Baldur Brönnimann, conductor (Mostly Mozart debut) Post-performance discussion on Saturday, August 12, Netia Jones.

Budapest Festival Orchestra
Don Giovanni

A provocative staging of Mozart’s opera overflowing with musical revelations and dramatic innovation. “A lively, giocoso take on the opera…provocative.”
– Opera News. “I have seldom seen this climactic moment staged to such haunting effect,” wrote the New York Times’s Anthony Tommasini about Don Giovanni’s descent into hell as staged by the “immensely gifted” conductor Iván Fischer (NPR). First performed to sold-out houses at Mostly Mozart in 2011, this provocative staged concert of Mozart’s opera overflows with musical revelations and dramatic innovation. Soprano Laura Aikin reprises her “standout” performance (New York Times) as the suffering Donna Anna and baritone Christopher Maltman is the titular playboy, dragged to his fiery fate in the unforgettable finale.
This production of Don Giovanni was co-produced by the Budapest Festival Orchestra and Müpa Budapest.

MET OPERA GALA 2017

The season opens September 25 with a new staging of Bellini’s bel canto masterpiece Norma, directed by Sir David McVicar and starring Sondra Radvanovsky in the title role

Met Opera Gala will start September 25,6pm Conducted by Carlo Rizzi, directed by Sir David McVicar, and starring Sondra Radvanovsky, one of the world’s leading interpreters of the role, opposite Joyce DiDonato as Adalgisa and Joseph Calleja as Pollione. – The Met Opera 2017-18 Season featuring five new productions, two of which are Met Opera premieres, 19 revivals and a special series of performances of the Verdi Requiem.

Production: Sir David McVicar
Set Designer: Robert Jones
Costume Designer: Moritz Junge
Lighting Designer: Paule Constable
Movement Director: Leah Hausman
Live in HD: October 7, 2017

“Ponselle, Milanov, Sutherland, Callas … after last night, Radvanovsky can add her name to the list,” declared the Huffington Post when Sondra Radvanovsky made her Met role debut as Norma in 2013. The 2017–18 season opens with a new production of Bellini’s masterpiece, starring Radvanovsky as the Druid priestess and Joyce DiDonato as her archrival, Adalgisa—a casting coup for bel canto fans. Tenor Joseph Calleja is Pollione, Norma’s unfaithful lover, and Carlo Rizzi conducts. Sir David McVicar’s evocative production sets the action deep in a Druid forest where nature and ancient ritual rule.

Production a gift of Veronica Atkins
