The works of Shakespeare have inspired more operatic adaptations
than any other writer’s. Simon Keenlyside and Natalie Dessay bring
their extraordinary acting and singing skills to two of the Bard’s
most unforgettable characters in this new production of Ambroise
Thomas’s Hamlet. For the role of Ophelia, the French composer
created an extended mad scene that is among the greatest in opera.

James Morris

This mythical story of a sorceress who enthralls men in her
island prison has inspired operatic settings by a multitude
of composers, including Gluck, Haydn, and Dvorˇák. Renée
Fleming stars in the title role of Rossini’s version,
opposite no fewer than six tenors. Tony Award winner Mary
Zimmerman returns to direct this new production of a work
she describes as “a buried treasure, a box of jewels.”
The fanciful and magical tale, Zimmerman says, “has an epic,
enchanted quality and a tremendous visual element.”
Conductor: Riccardo Frizza; Production: Mary Zimmerman;
Renée Fleming, Lawrence Brownlee, Bruce Ford,
José Manuel Zapata, Barry Banks, Kobie van Rensburg
