Bieito’s continued association with the company shows ENO’s commitment to highly theatrical and new interpretations of core repertoire. Following the success of his Carmen at ENO in 2012, described by The Guardian as ‘a cogent, gripping piece of work’, Bieito’s production of Fidelio comes to the London Coliseum after its 2010 premiere in Munich. Working with designer Rebecca Ringst, Bieito presents a vast Escher-like labyrinth set, symbolising the powerfully claustrophobic nature of the opera. Edward Gardner, ENO’s highly acclaimed Music Director, 2013 Olivier Award-nominee and recipient of an OBE for services to music, conducts an outstanding cast led by Stuart Skelton singing Florestan and Emma Bell as Leonore. Since his definitive performance of Peter Grimes at ENO, Skelton is now recognised as one of the finest heldentenors of his generation, appearing at the world’s major opera houses, including the Metropolitan Opera, New York, and Opéra National de Paris.

  • Chicago Sun-Times Glover-Paulus Team Creates a Superb 'Don Giovanni' for Chicago Opera Theater
    Chicago Sun-Times Glover-Paulus team creates a superb 'Don Giovanni' for Chicago Opera Theater May 2, 2008 BY ANDREW PATNER Dark. Very dark. Beautiful. Disturbing. Provocative. Hilarious. Chilling. Engrossing. Chicago Opera Theater has scored another triumph with its new production of "Don Giovanni," the last of the Mozart/Da Ponte trilogy to be taken up by the company's superb partnership of conductor Jane Glover and director Diane Paulus. Their seventh project together, "Don G" forms a sort of bookend with the invigorating take on Monteverdi's "Orfeo," which introduced them to Chicago -- and to each other -- eight years ago. There, launching Brian Dickie's first fully planned season as COT's general director, we had the excitement of new -- to us -- talents and the fizz of a fresh collaboration. Here we have a fully matured partnership where both artists share an understanding of the work and read each other implicitly. With this authority, everyone -- from the hugely talented young singers to the experienced design team of Riccardo Hernandez (sleek sets), David C. Woolard (wonderfully tongue-in-cheek costumes) and Aaron Black (spooky lights) -- is working here as a part of a unity. The lack of such a shared vision is where innovative productions often go wrong (and make no mistake, this is not your grandmother's "Don Giovanni") and why audiences sometimes roll their eyes when they see or hear that something has been "updated." But Paulus is not applying some sort of Eurotrash applique to the well-known story of the ultimate -- in more ways than one -- rake and his demise.

Outstanding conductors and soloists will as usual appear as guest artists in these and many other works from all areas of the sym- phonic repertoire.
