Opera a la carte
Vienna, 2001/2002
 
Thomas Hampson

The Vienna State Opera's awesome choice of repertoire during the forthcoming season presents 49 operas. There will be 7 new stagings including a musical version of Peter Pan to a score by Wilfried Hiller for the younger audience running from September to December.

In October Stefano Ranzani conducts a co-production with The Royal Opera House Covent Garden of Bellini's La sonnambula with Natalie Dessay as the sleepwalker. For Christmas, Charles Gounod's Romeo et Juliette opens with Neil Shicoff and Stefania Bonfadelli
as the "star crossed lovers".

Only four performances of a glittering new Die Fledermaus are scheduled, opening on New Year's Eve under the baton of Rudolf Bibl with Nancy Gustafson, Angelika Kirschschlager, Bo Skovhus, and Franz Hawlata.

In February David Pountney's new co-production with Brno Opera of Janacek's masterwork, Jenufa will be conducted by Seiji Ozawa. The cast includes Angela Denoke in the title role and Agnes Baltsa as her stepmother.

Early booking is strongly advised for the new Meistersinger of which there are just three performances this season. Wolfgang Brendel is Hans Sachs and Soile Isokoski sings Eva.

At the end of the season the Staatsoper presents the world premiere of Der Reise vom Steinfeld by von Friedrich Cerha to a libretto by Peter Turrini. Thomas Hampson leads the cast in the title role.

Charles Osborne's Choice
" This is the ideal city in which to see Die Fledermaus. Choice is difficult from such a wealth of operas, but I'd also try to get to the new production of Die Meistersinger - and, of course, the three Mozart-Da Ponte masterpieces at the entrancing Theater an der Wien. "
