Il barbiere di Siviglia from Rossini
With Il barbiere di Siviglia, Rossini, aged just 23, created a witty, sparkling, fiery and pulsating masterpiece in the spirit of Italian opera buffa in just three weeks. The humorously drawn characters, brilliant solo parts, rousing melodies and fast-paced ensembles are shown to their best advantage in Ruth Berghaus' timeless production from 1968.

Das schlaue Füchslein
In his opera, which premiered in 1924, Janáček created highly sensual, impressionistic music that reflects the complex intertwining of humans and animals. This ‘Czech midsummer night's dream’ is staged by director Ted Huffman, who is making his debut at the State Opera, with the baton in the hands of renowned Janáček expert Simon Rattle.
