The Royal Opera House’s current season has been marketed as a celebratory Olympic event, with a series of operatic cycles cunningly planned to time with the festivities this summer.In practise, however, the season has been marked by a series of cost-saving revivals of popular titles and some disappointingly high-profile cancellations - most painfully, by Anja Harteros, who has already withdrawn from two roles this year.
At the centre of the Royal Opera House’s season this year is a set of operatic cycles inspired by the Olympic rings.Beginning with the new production of Il Trittico and climaxing with the first revival of Keith Warner’s Ring Cycle, the spring centrepiece was the three Mozart-Da Ponte comedies, rarely seen in succession in London or elsewhere.
