SUMMARY:Nefertiti in Akhnaten (cv) - LA Opera
DESCRIPTION:Hailed by critics and beloved by audiences\, this eagerly anticipated revival transports you to Ancient Egypt in Philip Glass’s enthralling portrait of a trailblazing pharaoh. Countertenor John Holiday is the titular Akhnaten\, determined to lead Egypt into a new age even as his plan to abandon the old gods puts his kingdom (and his life) in peril. Mezzo-soprano Sun-Ly Pierce is his queen Nefertiti\, soprano So Young Park is the powerful dowager Queen Tye\, and Grammy winner Zachary James reprises his memorable role as Amenhotep III\, leading the audience through the ritualistic action on the stage. \nDirector Phelim McDermott revives his visually arresting production\, replete with soaring acrobats\, astonishing jugglers\, and towering sets. With a libretto drawing on ancient texts like The Book of the Dead and a hypnotic\, atmospheric score\, Akhnaten portrays a doomed visionary with all his feats and foibles. Finland’s Dalia Stasevska makes her company debut conducting this tribute to one of the most transformative chapters in Egyptian history.

SUMMARY:Aurelia Browder in SHE WHO DARED (World Premiere) - Chicago Opera Theater (house debut)
DESCRIPTION:WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS? \nEveryone has heard of Rosa Parks\, but she wasn’t the first to refuse to move. She Who Dared recenters the spotlight on the courageous women who helped desegregate the Montgomery bus system in the 1950s. These Civil Rights pioneers pay homage to the quiet struggle for justice that has often gone unknown – further amplifying the effects of the historic case of Browder V Gayle. While often riotous and sometimes hilarious\, these women demonstrate how everyday people have the power to challenge the systems around them and affect tangible change – if only they dare. \nShe Who Dared will feature sopranos Jasmine Habersham\, Jacqueline Echols\, Lindsey Reynolds\, and mezzo sopranos Chrystal E. Williams\, Jazmine Olwalia\, Leah Dexter\, and Cierra Byrd.  Conductor Michael Ellis Ingram and director Timothy Douglas make their COT debuts at the helm of the world premiere production.

SUMMARY:Rosina in Il Barbiere di Siviglia - Lyric Opera of Kansas City (house debut)
DESCRIPTION:Rossini’s RomCom romp follows hopeless romantic Count Almaviva through a plot that unfolds like an operatic obstacle course. With the help of Figaro\, a former servant turned barber\, Almaviva attempts to run off with his true love\, Rosina\, before her soon-to-be forced marriage to the scheming Dr. Bartolo. What starts as a simple plan becomes an elaborate comedy of errors with as many twists and turns as there are laughs. Rossini complements the romantic antics with iconic songs stacked like an “Opera’s Greatest Hits” playlist full of melodies so beguiling they’ve found their way into every area of pop culture imaginable. Even first-time operagoers will spend the night exclaiming\, “Hey\, that’s that one song from that one thing!”

DESCRIPTION:Eminent American composer John Adams returns to the Met after a decade-long hiatus for the company premiere of his acclaimed opera-oratorio\, which incorporates sacred and secular texts in English\, Spanish\, and Latin\, from biblical times to the present day\, in an extraordinarily dramatic retelling of the Nativity. El Niño brings together three of contemporary opera’s fiercest champions\, all of whom make highly anticipated company debuts: Marin Alsop\, one of the great conductors of our time\, who has led more than 200 new-music premieres; soprano Julia Bullock\, a leading voice on and off stage; and pathbreaking bass-baritone Davóne Tines.

The moving\, fully-staged new production also marks the Met debut of Lileana Blain-Cruz\, resident director at Lincoln Center Theater\, who received universal acclaim for her Tony-nominated 2022 production of The Skin of Our Teeth.

SUMMARY:Mercedes in Carmen (cover) - The Metropolitan Opera
DESCRIPTION:The Met begins the New Year with a vital new production of one of opera’s most enduringly powerful works. Acclaimed English director Carrie Cracknell makes her Met debut\, reinvigorating the classic story with a staging that moves the action to the modern day and finds at the heart of the drama issues that could not be more relevant today: gendered violence\, abusive labor structures\, and the desire to break through societal boundaries. Dazzling young mezzo-soprano Aigul Akhmetshina leads a powerhouse quartet of stars in the complex and volatile title role\, alongside tenor Piotr Beczała as Carmen’s troubled lover Don José\, soprano Angel Blue as the loyal Micaëla\, and bass-baritone Kyle Ketelsen as the swaggering Escamillo. Daniele Rustioni conducts Bizet’s heart-pounding score. Later in the season\, another cast of world-class singers takes over\, with mezzo-soprano Clémentine Margaine reprising her captivating portrayal of the title role\, tenor Michael Fabiano as Don José\, soprano Ailyn Pérez as Micaëla\, bass-baritone Ryan Speedo Green as Escamillo\, and Diego Matheuz making his company debut on the podium.

SUMMARY:American Lyric Theater Workshop - She Who Dared - Composer: Jasmine Barnes; Librettist: Deborah D.E.E.P. Mouton
DESCRIPTION:Everyone has heard of Rosa Parks\, but she wasn’t the first to refuse to move. She Who Dared recenters the spotlight on the courageous women who helped desegregate the Montgomery bus system. These Civil Rights pioneers pay homage to the quiet struggle for justice that has often gone unknown – further amplifying the effects of the historic case of Browder V. Gayle. While often riotous and sometimes hilarious\, these women demonstrate how everyday people have the power to challenge the systems around them and affect tangible change – if only they dare. \n  \n  \n
