Haven't seen a thread on this. Highlights include reviving The Mikado production, but it will be performed in Blackpool, Rory Kinnear making his directorial debut on The Winter's Tale, and my personal favourite, the return of Jonathan Miller's Rigoletto, a production supposedly scrapped in 2009. All the info is here: www.eno.org/news/eno-announces-201617-season/ |

Am very surprised to see pirates coming back....I found it to be most dull and uninspired and theatrically inert production I've seen. Gilbert would have been horrified. I'd like to have seen Aknahten (sorry abut the spelling) back.

I'd like to have seen Aknahten (sorry abut the spelling) back. I guess that it was already agreed in the contracts that it would get a revival. As far as bringing good stuff back, I am confused why neither of the Terry Gilliam directed productions have been revived as they were both fantastic, particularly The Damnation of Faust. |

It's a slim season
I'll no doubt book for Don, Tosca, Winters Tale and the South African Piece at Hackney.
The ROH does not hold many pieces of interest :-(
The Opera North Fairy tale season excites me :-)

I wonder if Lawrence Brownlee will star in Charlie Parker's Yardbird at the Hackney Empire? Probably not.

The Opera North Fairy tale season excites me :-) I think Opera North & Scottish Opera's seasons both look more interesting than ENO's but unfortunately they are much harder to get to. I am definitely going up for ON's Rosenkavalier: my favourite opera with one of my favourite mezzos in the title role. There's not a lot of ENO's I'd consider seeing. Pearl Fishers for Jacques Imbraglio probably top of a short list. Maybe Winter's Tale but I'd probably hold off till the production opens to check it's not too strange. |
