Two major stars of bel canto, Albina Shagimuratova andLawrence Brownlee, lead the cast of Bellini’s ravishing I puritani, and Lyric presents a topflight ensemble for Mozart’s captivating Così fan tutte, including company favorites Ana MaríaMartínez and Alessandro Corbelli. The 2017/18 mainstage season concludes with Gounod’smatchlessly romantic Faust, featuring the American debut of Benjamin Bernheim in the titlerole, opposite Ailyn Pérez and Christian Van Horn.

Throughout the summer, selections from TheRoyal Opera, Roundhouse, Scottish Opera, Opera North andGlyndebourne will be offered, including the May 2018 world premiereperformance of George Benjamin’s third opera, Lessons in Love andViolence. From the same creative team that brought the celebrated second opera by GeorgeBenjamin, Written on Skin, to the stage in 2012, this much-anticipated production tells the storyof a king caught between love and politics, and features Canadian soprano Barbara Hannigan,
French baritone Stéphane Degout, as well as British soprano Jennifer France, Icelandic bassbaritone Andri Björn Róbertsson and Hungarian-Canadian mezzo soprano Krisztina Szabó thelast three making their Covent Garden debuts.The line-up continues with The Royal Opera production of Verdi’s Macbeth, featuring AnnaNetrebko as Lady Macbeth, and The Royal Opera-Roundhouse co-production ofMonteverdi’s The Return of Ulysses, featuring Roderick Williams in the title role, andconducted by early music specialist Christian Curnyn. More tales of love and loss to follow inTchaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin from Scottish Opera and Verdi’s vendetta-filled Un Ballo inMaschera from Opera North. In Eugene Onegin, listeners will be treated to one of the newestnames excelling in the Russian repertoire – Welsh soprano Natalya Romaniw, in the role ofTatyana.Returning to The Royal Opera, next up is Wagner’s Lohengrin. A production that is led by noless than conductor Andris Nelsons and features a cast including Grammy-winning Americansoprano Christine Goerke, Latvian soprano Kristine Opolais and much sought after Wagneriantenor Klaus Florian Vogt, who has made Lohengrin his signature role.The final selection in this array of broadcasts from the U.K. (the title for which will be releasedin the coming weeks) will come to us from one of Britain’s finest summer festivals,Glyndebourne. Nestled in a country estate in East Sussex, Glyndebourne has long prided itselfon the ethos of one of its founders, John Christie – “Not just the best we can do but the best thatcan be done anywhere”. Listeners will be given an opportunity, for the first time in the festival’seighty-four year history, to hear a world-class performance, fresh from the Glyndebourne’ssummer stage.
