On May 16 at 10:00 a.m. the sale for the new season starts. From this moment you can buy tickets for performances in September and October. For all performances from November 1st until the end of the 2022/23 season you can pre-order tickets.
The season starts with the revival of La Juive under the baton of Bertrand de Billy. As Eléazar, Roberto Alagna returns to the Vienna State Opera. Sonya Yoncheva sings Rachel - in her personal role debut - and Günther Groissböck can be heard as Cardinal Brogni. He also sings Sarastro in Mozart's Die Zauberflöte in September. A second revival is then on the program in October, Leoš Janáček's Jenůfa. Asmik Grigorian will be heard for the first time in the title role at the Haus am Ring. There is a reunion with Carmen, in a first-class cast with Elina Garanca in the title role and Piotr Beczala as Don Jose. Benjamin Bernheim also returns immediately in October, as the Duke in Verdi's Rigoletto.
Also in the September/October period is the first opera premiere of the new season: it is a particularly interesting project, a scenic realization of Mahler's Klagendem Lied and his Kindertotenlieder: Von der Liebe Tod. Calixto Bieito directs, Florian Boesch makes his house debut at the Vienna State Opera, as does conductor Lorenzo Viotti.
Then, at the end of October, you can expect the first ballet premiere of the season: ballet director and chief choreographer Martin Schläpfer creates Dornröschen for the Vienna State Ballet - a world premiere.
