Autumn Season at the Estonian National Opera

The 105th Autumn Season at the Estonian National Opera!

The upcoming autumn season will bring along many fascinating productions of all genres.

The first new production of the season will premiere on September 16, when the stage is set for one of the gems among the works of Imre Kálmán – the operetta Die Csárdásfürstin in a classically dazzling version by Mart Sander. “I am trying to stage a show that sends a modern message despite its visual side being pronouncedly, almost ridiculously old-fashioned” (M. Sander).

On October 29, the theatre will celebrate the premiere of Puccini’s La bohème, one of the most beloved operas ever, directed by Ran Arthur Braun from Israel. Young, cheerful, careless and passionate bohemians enjoy life and its intricate turns sparkled with love, hope, despair and wild Parisian life-rhythm to the fullest.

The concert performance of Bellini’s stunningly beautiful opera I Capuleti e i Montecchi will premiere on November 11, conducted by Arvo Volmer. The libretto of the opera is not based on Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, but on several Italian pieces of literature, mainly Luigi Scevola’s play Giulietta e Romeo.

On December 3, the spectators are treated to a brand new stage production of The Nutcracker directed by Ben Stevenson, one of the key figures of American ballet. Tchaikovsky’s beautiful music takes the viewer with Clara to the magical world of sweets, the Mouse King, toy soldiers, flying chefs, the giant Christmas tree, Christmas evening and dancing.

The traditional New Year’s Eve Ball of the Estonian National Opera, directed by Arne Mikk and Thomas Edur, will be held on December 31. This time, the etudes of the ball have been inspired by George Gershwin’s music and there will be several nice surprises for the guests.
