Glyndebourne has announced its festival commencing May 2020 before the ROH has announced its 2019/20 season commencing September this year (are they undoing the plans of Holten one wonders?). There are three new productions:
Poulenc - Dialogues des Carmelites, conducted by Robin Ticciati
Handel - Alcina, Gianluca Capuano
Beethoven - Fidelio, Ticciati
The revivals are:
Donizetti - L'elisir d'amore
Mozart - Die Entführung aus dem Serail
Stravinsky- The Rake's Progress
(a contender for the finest production of any opera. It comes up fresh with every revival, although the painted drop curtain looks a little worn now with all the amendments over 40 years. Last outing possibly?)
The tour runs from October to December 2019
Mozart - The Magic Flute
Puccini - Madama Butterfly
The Magic Flute: Behind the curtain
'Taking audiences under the hood of Mozart's final operatic masterpiece'.
The Poulenc is being broadcast on R3 from the Met on 11 May and being shown in cinemas should you need a primer, it's a powerful work.
