Giordano Andrea Chenier

“Kaufmann is performing the title role for the first time, and it’s hard to imagine him bettered. His striking looks make him very much the Romantic and romanticised outsider of Giordano’s vision. His voice, with its dark, liquid tone, soars through the music with refined ease and intensity: all those grand declarations of passion, whether political or erotic, hit home with terrific immediacy.” – The Guardian Presented in its Covent Garden premiere in January 2015, this staging – directed by David McVicar and conducted by the Royal Opera’s Music Director, Sir Antonio Pappano – shows a bloody tricolour daubed with the words “Even Plato banned poets from his Republic” – written by Robespierre on the death warrant of the historical Chénier, a poet and journalist sent to the guillotine in 1794 for criticising France’s post-revolutionary government.

The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath

"Three times Randolph Carter dreamed of the marvelous city, and three times was he snatched away while still he paused on the high terrace above it." Thus begins H. P. Lovecraft's epic tale of the courageous dreamer Randolph Carter and his search for the mystical sunset city by petitioning the gods of Kadath. During his journey, he travels deep into the world of dream, to the edge of the world, to the moon and back, and to the heights and depths of human and... inhuman experience. Written by Edward Martin III

Two Days

The story concentrates on a single 48-hour period during the Russian Revolution. The central character, played by Y. E. Samchykovski, is an old servant who staunchly supports the Royal Family. Even when his master is placed in prison and his son is appointed a commissar, the servant remains faithful to the Czarist regime. But when his village is invaded by the White Russian army and his son is summarily executed, the old man realizes that his homeland is far better off in the hands of the revolutionaries, who seek to build rather than destroy. A "cleansing" fire brings this propaganda piece to an appropriately symbolic conclusion.

Diario di spezie

Luca Treves è uno chef esperto di spezie mentre Andreas Dürren-Fischer è un celebre restauratore di quadri fiamminghi. I due appartengono a mondi opposti e non potrebbero essere più diversi: tanto timido e impacciato il primo, quanto sicuro di sé e mondano il secondo. Tuttavia, quando Luca conosce Andreas, pensa sia arrivato finalmente il momento per dare una svolta alla propria carriera e abbandonare il ristorante di provincia che gli garantisce una vita tranquilla, ma che lo costringe anche a sacrificare le sue più alte ambizioni professionali. Luca però non sa che Andreas nasconde segreti inconfessabili e un passato impossibile da dimenticare. Durante il viaggio che i due intraprenderanno insieme l'unico appiglio per mantenere la lucidità sarà il diario dove da anni Luca annota osservazioni sulle spezie e sulla preparazione delle ricette.
