Onegin, fidelio and The bernstein all appeal. Especially the latter, would we of had this if it wasnt for Maestro?
And yay to the Wheeldon and Balanchine mixed bills.
Looks like ill be going 5 times next season.

It is really not an exciting season for me either. None of the singers I wanted to see are in productions here (no Nadine Sierra, Javier Camarena, Piotr Beczala, Benjamin Bernheim etc).
I am interested in hearing Freddie de Tommaso, but can’t justify seeing him in CARMEN, as I am seeing the same production on Sunday.
The only others I might consider are SEMELE and the Bernstein.

The Bernstein double on the back of Maestro is an excellent wheeze and while I'm not over fond of A Quiet Place (Trouble in Tahiti I love) chances to see it are rare so I'll definitely be going. I'd love them to have a go at the Opera House version of Candide some time.
I'll also go to Onegin and Hoffman but that'll be it.

As someone who hasn't been much to Covent Garden in recent years (living out of London, children at home) and now able to go more, I do think there are some solid attractive revivals of operas I haven't seen for ages - Jenufa, Faust, Il Trovatore and others. It is a safe programme with no major thrills, though. I would like to have seen Deborah Warner back after her superb Wozzeck last year. Intrigued by the Bernstein and the Telemann. When do we hear about ENO, I wonder - it was more mid-May last year.
