Paris New York Chicago Vienna Berlin Prague Barcelona Munich Budapest Milan Drottningholm Santa Fe Opera Glimmerglass ...other         New York, 2001/2002 The year ahead at the Met promises many operatic delights with new productions and revivals performed by some of the best singers in the business. A co-production of War & Peace with the Mariinsky Theatre will be a company premiere for the Met featuring a mainly Russian cast under the baton of Principal Guest Conductor, Valery Gergiev. The season's second Met première will be Wolf-Ferrari's Sly with Placido Domingo in the title role in Washington Opera's acclaimed production directed by Marta Domingo. New stagings of Norma, not heard at the Met since 1981, Die frau ohne schatten with Deborah Voigt and Wolfgang Brendel and Luisa Miller with Marina Mescheriakova, Denyce Graves and Nikolai Putilin should not be missed. We would like to draw your attention to one or two works returning to the repertoire which have especially pleased our clients in the past. Over the New Year Valery Gergiev conducts Don Carlo with Olga Borodina, Galina Gorchakova and, in the title role, Dmitri Hvorostovsky. Bryn Terfel returns to the Met in March as Falstaff with Camilla Tilling in her Met premiere conducted by James Levine in the Met's classic 1964 production, restored and re-staged by Franco Zeffirelli. Returning after an absence of four years is the much admired Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg featuring Karita Mattila, Ben Heppner and James Morris, whilst fans of Thomas Hampson will rush to New York in the autumn to see his first Eugene Onegin.

" I'd love to see Verdi's entrancing yet rarely performed Luisa Miller, conducted by James Levine. And the Met premiere of Prokofiev's War and Peace is something not to be missed.
