Six years after its premiere, one of the most poignant opera productions --
Don Giovanni directed by
Michael Haneke-- will be back at the Paris Opera next March/April.
 |
| Peter Mattei and Luca Pisaroni in the Michael Haneke production of Don Giovanni |
As I suggested at the beginning of the 2011-2012 season, this is one of the two truly recommendable productions this year in Paris --the other being
Carsen's Tannhäuser-- and actually worth a trip.
While the quality of most of the new productions in Paris oscillates between
bad and
dreadful, the revival of the old stuff is usually very well done, with great care (
Lulu and
La clemenza di Tito, are this season's notable examples.)
Cnd- Philippe Jordan/Marius Stieghorst; Cast: Peter Mattei, Paata Burchuladze, Patricia Petibon, Bernard Richter/Saimir Pirgu, Véronique Gens, David Bizic, Nahuel Di Pierro, Gaële Arquez.
The online ticket sale
opens tomorrow, Monday January 9th, at 9 am (CET)!
