Premiere.
Early next week, our theater will be presenting the second premiere of the 228th season: an opera by Gaetano Donizetti L’Elisir d’Amore. This is the first staging of this masterpiece in the modern history of the Mariinsky Theatre — before the opera was staged only in the 19th century (three times). The production, staged by the famous French director Laurent Pelly and designed by Chantal Thomas is a co-production of the Opéra national de Paris and the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London. L’Elisir d’Amore by Pelly-Thomas is recognized as one of Europe’s best performances of the work.
24, 25 & 27 January, 8 February. L’elisir d’amore. Anna Netrebko.
