According to reader 'Anonymous', the DNO Amsterdam may reveal on 16 February a 2012 - 2013 season bearing a more than faint resemblance to the speculation reproduced below. Possibly.
Those of an analytical bent will spot the beginnings of a Ring cycle, which together with a rarely-performed Schreker, a Meistersinger and a new George Benjamin make for a pretty spectacular season.
September: Schreker - Der Schatzgräber
Oct: Benjamin - Written on Skin
Nov: Wagner - Das Rheingold (con. Albrecht, dir. Audi)
Dec: Mozart - Die Zauberflöte
Jan: Glass - Einstein on the Beach
Feb: Rossini - Guillaume Tell
May: Wagner - Die Walkuere (con. Albrecht, dir. Audi)
Jun: Wagner - Die Meistersinger
'Anonymous' adds that there are rumours of a triple Verdi turning up some time: - Un Ballo in Maschera, La Traviata (the Decker one) and something else.
