Season Lineup Looks Promising
New York Times Music has a very detailed and interesting article about the off-season construction taking place at the Metropolitan Opera. Check out the article, or click the link for a quick list of some of the upcoming Met rep.
Here’s the skinny on what the Met’s got planned. I recommend you check the Times article for an excellent writeup about the staging process.
In no particular order:
- The Patrice Caurier and Moshe Leiser staging of Ambroise Thomas’s “Hamlet”
- Mary Zimmerman’s production of Rossini’s “Armida”
- Tosca – Puccini
- Contes d’Hoffmann – Offenbach
- Carmen – Bizet
- Attila – Verdi
- The Nose – Shostakovich
According to the Times:
Shostakovich's fanciful take on the Gogol tale about a bureaucrat who loses his nose
Interesting.
