English National Opera has announced its 2026/27 Season across London and Greater Manchester, featuring nine operas, with six new productions, four operas by contemporary female composers and opportunities for the next generation of opera makers.
Rossini’s Barber of Seville is a top ten opera in performances. Donors love it for its vocal gymnastics, memorable arias and sparkling melodies. Receptive newcomers like it because of its delightful bubbling overture, the familiar Figaro aria that soon follows, and its simple fast-moving sitcom-like plot.
After opening their season with a production of Leoncavallo's Pagliacci, San Diego Opera will present Gioachino Rossini's comedic masterpiece, The Barber of Seville, at the San Diego Civic Theatre on February 13, 14 & 15, 2026.
From October 31 to November 9, the Theatro Municipal de São Paulo stages Giuseppe Verdi’s Macbeth in a bold new production by Elisa Ohtake, with musical direction by Roberto Minczuk. Inspired by Shakespeare’s tragedy, the opera delves into ambition, guilt, and power through Verdi’s dramatic score. Ohtake’s contemporary take transforms the medieval tale into a striking visual experience, where excess, collapse, and madness echo today’s world.
The Metropolitan Opera will present four additional performances of Grammy Award–winning composer Mason Bates's The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay this season. Learn how to purchase tickets.
Anyone familiar with Michael Chabon’s Pulitzer Prizer-winning THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF KAVALIER & CLAY must be a bit bewildered at how a 700-page novel could be turned into a 3-hour opera. Or, for that matter, how a superhero named “The Escapist” could be sharing a stage this week with Puccini’s Turandot and Mozart’s Don Giovanni.
Rehearsals are underway for the Met premiere of Mason Bates and Gene Scheer’s adaptation of Michael Chabon’s acclaimed novel. Get a first look at the cast in rehearsal in this all-new video.
