La Sonnambula
Vincenzo Bellini (1801 – 1835)

Oceane
Detlev Glanert (*1960)
Fontane explores the Melusine character as a way of fathoming the sense of menace and fascination felt by a bourgeois, male-dominated society that connoted femininity with an archaic, erotically licentious naturalness.

Turandot
Giacomo Puccini (1858 – 1924)

Against all expectations, Calaf, son of an exiled potentate from a far-off country, breaks the mould. On 23 May 2019

New in our blog – On DON QUICHOTTE
The adventures of a daydreaming chevalier
From 30th May onwards Don Quixote will be chasing rainbows, tilting at windmills and fighting for his one true love. Jules Massenet’s chirpy yet melancholic opera is a musical homage to the great work.
