OPERA America Announces Data Base For Season Schedules Of North American Opera Company 2006-07 Performances
September 7, 2006
"Although summertime weather is still in full force in much of United States, signs of the changing season are everywhere. For most opera companies, fall marks the beginning of a new season—an opportunity to welcome new artists, new productions, and even new operas to their stages.
Check out OPERA America’s Season Schedule of Performances for what’s playing at an opera company near you. You might also be interested in some of the season highlights described below.
September will see the American premiere of [British composer] Nicholas Maw’s Sophie’s Choice at Washington National Opera (WNO). Based on the William Styron novel that inspired the 1982 film, the opera had its world premiere at Covent Garden [Royal Opera House, London] in 2002. The WNO production features the original London cast, including Angelika Kirchschlager and Rod Gilfry.
North of the border, Toronto’s Canadian Opera Company (COC) will present Canada’s first complete Ring Cycle in the new Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts. While the design team remains consistent across the cycle, each of the four operas will have a different director: Michael Levine for Das Rheingold, Atom Egoyan for Die Walküre, François Girard for Siegfried, and Tim Albery for Götterdämmerung. COC will present three complete cycles, the first beginning on September 12.
Other September highlights include the Chicago premiere of Iphigénie en Tauride at Lyric Opera of Chicago, and two rarely-produced works by Rossini: The Siege of Corinth (L'Assedio di Corinto) at Baltimore Opera and La donna del lago at The Minnesota Opera."
