Bizet’s name, ever since the early (though by no means instant) success of his last opera and major bestseller Carmen, has become synonymous with the idea of catchy tunes and exotic soundworlds. That’s the composer who is with us most of the time.

Die Internationalen Gluck Festspiele in der Metropolregion Nürnberg tragen 2026 das Motto Amor & Psyche. Mit der konzertanten Aufführung der faktisch vergessenen Reformoper Paride ed Elena gelang dem künstlerischen Leiter Michael Hofstetter ein echter Coup.
