Now in over 900 cinemas across 32 countries, the Royal Opera House Cinema Season continues to expand each year. Swan Lake opens the Royal Opera House Live Cinema Season on 23rd October. This Season’s line up of opera and ballet includes four new opera productions; Verdi’s masterwork Nabucco with Plácido Domingo making his role debut. Featuring some of the greatest choral music ever written, Nabucco’s premiere in 1842 confirmed Verdi as the major new force in Italian opera. Kasper Holten, The Royal Opera’s Director of Opera makes his ROH directorial debut with Eugene Onegin with British baritone Simon Keenlyside in the title role: Rossini’s Donna del Lago, directed by the Associate Director of The Royal Opera, John Fulljames, stars Juan Diego Flórez, Joyce DiDonato and Colin Lee; and Britten’s Gloriana, marking three major anniversaries; the centenary of Benjamin Britten’s birth, the 60th anniversary of the Queen’s coronation for which the opera was composed, and the 60th anniversary of the premiere at Covent Garden, is directed by Richard Jones with Susan Bullock in the role of the Virgin Queen and Toby Spence as the hot-headed Essex. For all Royal Opera House press releases visit www.roh.org.uk/press The Royal Ballet opens the ROH Cinema Season in October with a live performance of one of the greatest classics in the repertory, Swan Lake, with Zenaida Yanowsky and Nehemiah Kish in the title roles. The Nutcracker is a perennial Christmas favourite for children and adults alike with its intoxicating score by Tchaikovsky, a Christmas tree that magically seems to grow, a fierce battle between the toy soldiers and the army of mice led by the Mouse King, and the famous dance of The Sugar Plum Fairy danced by Roberta Marquez, with Steven McRae as the Prince. Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland will be screened live to cinemas and was a sell-out success when it premiered at the Royal Opera House in 2011. With choreography by Christopher Wheeldon and music by Joby Talbot, this is a special night not to be missed. This exciting selection of world class opera and ballet going live into the cinema comes hot on the heels of the successful 2011/12 cinema season; La Fille Mal Gardée was number 3 in UK Box Office on the day of the live screening, Romeo and Juliet was our biggest selling ballet and Rigoletto was our biggest selling opera in cinema yet. The Royal Opera House continues to lead the way in opera, ballet, music and dance in cinema both 2D and 3D and the many platforms available including digital downloads, CD, DVD and BLU-ray all distributed through Opus Arte. Each year the number of cinema sites in the UK alone that carry Royal Opera House screenings is steadily increasing with more than 140 sites in the UK taking the entire Royal Opera House Cinema Season and over 600 sites worldwide.

  • The Blake Collection in Memory of Nancy M
    The Blake Collection In Memory of Nancy M. Blake BELLINI’S NORMA featuring CECILIA BARTOLI This tragic opera is set in Roman-occupied, first-century Gaul, features a title character, who although a Druid priestess, is in many ways a modern woman. Norma has secretly taken the Roman proconsul Pollione as her lover and had two children with him. Political and personal crises arise when the locals turn against the occupiers and Pollione turns to a new paramour. Norma “is a role with emotions ranging from haughty and demanding, to desperately passionate, to vengeful and defiant. And the singer must convey all of this while confronting some of the most vocally challenging music ever composed. And if that weren't intimidating enough for any singer, Norma and its composer have become almost synonymous with the specific and notoriously torturous style of opera known as bel canto — literally, ‘beautiful singing’” (“Love Among the Druids: Bellini's Norma,” NPR World of Opera, May 16, 2008). And Bartoli, one of the greatest living opera divas, is up to the challenges the role brings. (New York Public Radio’s WQXR’s “OperaVore” declared that “Bartoli is Fierce and Mercurial in Bellini's Norma,” Marion Lignana Rosenberg, June 09, 2013.) If you’re already a fan of this opera, you’ve no doubt heard a recording spotlighting the great soprano Maria Callas (and we have such a recording, too), but as the notes with the Bartoli recording point out, “The role of Norma was written for Giuditta Pasta, who sang what today’s listeners would consider to be mezzo-soprano roles,” making Bartoli more appropriate than Callas as Norma.

It may be her nature, for she is a creature of instinct. It may be a survival tool, to dis- arm a threat or entice a victim. Each of her arias is a dance, an outlet, and a showcase for her vitality and white-hot energy. She introduces herself in the Cslinky, sultry Habanera, an exhibitionist’s proclamation that love obeys no law. It is a standard opéra-comique song, two verses with backup chorus, but the vocal line entices in its slow chromatic descent, while the truth bites naughtily, “If I love you, watch out!” Her hands tied, she sways and taps out a breezy Séguidilla with promises of sex (even giving the address “chez Lillas Pastia”) that gets her out of a prison stay. Her nightclub song accelerates from languid undulations to a frenzy of pounding and stomping. The lyrics describe the very act of perform- S E ing, with burning, feverish intoxication, dissolving into G A M a wild orgy of “tra-la-la”s.

  • 70 Festival De Granada Anna Caterina Antonacci
    70 Festival de Granada Biografías Anna Caterina Antonacci Soprano Ahora reconocida como una de las mejores sopranos de su generación, Anna Caterina Antonacci es una vocalista galardonada, ganando múltiples premios prestigiosos, incluyendo el del Concurso Internacional de Voces Verdianas (1988), el Concurso María Callas y el Concurso Pavarotti, alabando todos su cantilena, su gexpresión, pero, sobre todo, su voz. Desde el brillante Rossini de sus primeros años, se movió al Rossini serio y óperas como Mose en Egitto, Semiramide, Elisabetta, Regina d'Inghilterra y Ermione. Luego introdujo a las reinas de Donizetti, Donna Elvira de Mozart (Don Giovanni), Elettra (Idomeneo) y Vitellia (La Clemenza di Tito) en su repertorio. A esto le siguió Armide de Gluck, escenificada por Pier Luigi Pizzi y dirigida por Riccardo Muti, que abrió la temporada 1996/97 en La Scala; Alceste en Parma y Salzburgo, y Medea de Cherubini en Toulouse y en el Teatro de Chatelet de París. El triunfo de Anna Caterina como Cassandra en la producción de 2003 de Les Troyens con Sir John Eliot Gardiner marcó su cambio hacia las grandes heroínas del repertorio francés, siguiendo los pasos de Regine Crespin. En ese instante nació una actriz. En La Juive y Carmen (respectivamente en Covent Garden bajo Pappano y en la Opera Comique bajo Gardiner), revivió la tradición del canto francés en el espíritu de Viardot, otra gran rossiniana. Estos logros fueron seguidos por Agripina y Rodelinda de Händel. Su interpretación de dos papeles dentro de L'incoronazione di Poppea, como Poppea (Múnich) y Nero (París), inspiró Era la notte; su espectáculo de una sola mujer habla del Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda de Monteverdi, que continúa aun su gira.
