Ellas son la causa y el fruto de múltiples idas y venidas durante cuatro años, ayudándome a aunar las que son mis tres grandes pasiones: viajar, el estudio y el teatro.1 Si bien los lugares han sido esenciales para definir lo que aquí se recoge, aún más primordial han sido mis compañeros en este viaje, a los que hoy, por fin, toca darles las gracias. Mis primeras gracias son para mi directora de tesis, Clara Calvo. Gracias, Clara, por la confianza depositada en mí estos años. Gracias por propulsar tantos viajes intelectuales. Gracias también a Ángel-Luis Pujante y Vicente Cervera, quienes leyeron una versión preliminar de algunos capítulos y cuyos consejos han sido fundamentales para su mejora.

The season opened with the premiere of a new production of Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde and also included five other new stagings, as well as 20 revivals. The Live in HD series of cinema transmissions brought opera to audiences around the world for the 11th year, with ten broadcasts reaching approximately 2.3 million people. Combined earned revenue for the Met (Live in HD and box office) totaled $111 million. Total paid attendance for the season in the opera house was 75%. All six new productions in the 2016–17 season were the work of distinguished directors who had previous success at the Met. The compelling Opening Night new production of Tristan und Isolde was directed by Mariusz Treliński, who made his Met debut in 2015 with the double bill of Tchaikovsky’s Iolanta and Bartók’s Bluebeard’s Castle. French-Lebanese director Pierre Audi brought his distinctive vision to Rossini’s final operatic masterpiece Guillaume Tell, following his earlier staging of Verdi’s Attila in 2010. Robert Carsen, who first worked at the Met in 1997 on his popular production of Tchaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin, directed a riveting new Der Rosenkavalier, the company’s first new staging of Strauss’s grand comedy since 1969.
