Performer: Opéra de Lyon

The Opéra de Lyon presents Britten’s masterpiece for the first time: a triumph, both visually and musically, which is received with great enthusiasm by the audience.

Its premiere postponed from Festival d'Aix last summer, Barrie Kosky's staging of Rimsky-Korsakov's political satire finally takes place in Lyon. 

A controversial new production of Bluebeard's Castle by Andriy Zholdak in which Bartók's opera is played out twice... 

Dans les coulisses de la spectaculaire mise en scène des Contes d'Hoffmann par Damiano Michieletto, la régisseuse de production lyonnaise s'est confiée sur son métier hors du commun et injustement méconnu.

Contemporary opera has bounced back from the disruptions of the pandemic with significant gusto. We look ahead to several major operatic world premieres in the 2023–24 season.

Hours after the launch of Opéra de Lyon's new season, Serge Dorny – who moves to the Bayerische Staatsoper in 2021 – reflects on his years with the company.
