Performer: Opera Philadelphia

Opera Philadelphia commissions ten composers to tell the story of an ordinary woman's idiosyncratic march from cradle to tomb.

Conceived by Anthony Roth Costanzo and Sarah Ruhl, this high-handed pasticcio sets the climate crisis to a soundtrack of Vivaldi.

The intrepid company brings Damiano Michieletto’s well-traveled production of a Rossini rarity to the US for the first time. 

Opera Europa counts 220 opera companies and festivals amongst its members. Its Director discusses how the opera world is – or isn't – changing.

The US festival scene is as varied as its landscape. We give a quick sampler of festivals to tempt you in 2019.
