Lohengrin

KLAIPÈDA STATE MUSIC THEATRE

ELSA / 8 AUGUST 2025

Klaipèda Festival invites you to an extraordinary musical event – an open-air concert performance of Richard Wagner’s opera “Lohengrin” in the industrial space of “Klaipèdos energija”. This is a spectacle in which evocative music, modern stage expression and a special place will merge into a unified experience.
 

Rusalka

ROYAL SWEDISH OPERA

TITLE ROLE /  SEP - NOV 2025

This story about the unrequited love of a water nymph has been told in many different forms throughout the ages. Now DvoÅ™ák’s Late-Romantic masterpiece Rusalka is finally on the Royal Swedish Opera programme! The director, Netia Jones, has taken the Czech opera from 1901 and placed it in our own appearance-obsessed era. An opulent production in cooperation with the Irish National Opera and Nouvel Opéra Fribourg.

Beethoven's 9th Symphony

SYDNEY SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

SOLOIST / 26-29 NOV 2025

The ‘Ode to Joy’, the finale of Beethoven’s irrepressible Ninth Symphony, is one of the most famous melodies ever written. It’s a special moment in music that makes us feel connected to each other, and for over 200 years it has engulfed us in its boundless energy. When you hear it live, the power of so many triumphant voices is astonishing. Simone Young conducts an all-Australasian quartet of singers.

Tchaikovsky's Heroines & Heroes

SCOTTISH OPERA

IOLANTA TATYANA/DEC 10 2025

Renowned for The Nutcracker, Tchaikovsky brings feelings of drama, history and magic all through his talented blend of characterisation and opera. Creating a synergy of Russian traditions with French and German influences, Tchaikovsky’s distinctive musical voice remains unique and unmistakable today.
Conducted by Stuart Stratford, this opera in concert selects the best bits from The Maid of Orleans, Iolanta and Eugene Onegin, focusing on their unforgettable heroines.

Eugene Onegin

OPERA AUSTRALIA

TATYANA / MAR 2026

Kasper Holten’s “hyper-intelligent, deeply moving production” (Limelight) brings memory to the fore. Through flashback, Tatyana and Onegin watch their younger selves make choices that will haunt their lives. As memories pile up on stage, the effect is devastating.
Lauren Fagan makes a triumphant return to our stage, following her unforgettable performance as Suor Angelica in Il Trittico. She’s joined by Ukrainian baritone Andrei Bondarenko as Onegin and rising Australian star Nicholas Jones as Lensky.
