"This is not your father's La Bohème. But it works." ~The Washington Times
"There are some wonderful things going on here visually.... Above all, there is a strong enough theatrical flair at work throughout the venture to deliver the most important
elements of Bohème more or less intact." ~The Baltimore Sun
"Conductor Emmanuel Villaume shapes the work with love, lyricism, and an unfailing sense of proportion. The casting is strong, and better than that when Vittorio Grigolo is onstage...." ~The Washington Post

“Alan Held makes a riveting Dutchman. Jennifer Wilson registers sit-up-and-take-notice star power in her role debut as Senta.” ~The Baltimore Sun
“Held justified his growing reputation as a Wagnerian.” ~The Washington Post
“A vocally dazzling presentation.” ~The Washington Times
A visually arresting production...blessed by first-rate singing. This Rigoletto will warm the hearts of opera traditionalists who long for a bit of pageantry in this era of fashionable Euro-gray productions." ~ The Washington Times
"Glorious music....As singer-focused a production as you are going to find." ~The Washington Post
As the libertine Duke of Mantua's jaded jester, Rigoletto is known for sparing no one his biting and often vicious sarcasm. But when courtiers abduct Rigoletto's beloved daughter, Gilda, for the Duke's enjoyment, a curse and misdirected revenge bring tragedy and are Rigoletto's undoing.

“As the crowd in miniature suits and party dresses gazed over the edge of the pit at intermission and applauded fanatically as the witch was turned to gingerbread, it was clear that the family opera was a great idea. As enjoyable as it is to rediscover classical music around the holidays, it's even better to experience it for the first time.” ~The Washington Post
A new holiday tradition begins this winter as Washington National Opera brings Engelbert Humperdinck's captivating opera Hansel and Gretel to the historic Lincoln Theatre, directed by David Gately and starring the Domingo-Cafritz Young Artists with the Washington National Opera Orchestra. A holiday classic since its 1893 premiere in Weimar,
Germany, Hansel and Gretel is the perfect chance to experience the joy of opera with the entire family.

Under the stewardship of General Director Plácido Domingo, Washington National Opera continues to move confidently forward on a great adventure that began when the company was founded in 1956. Five decades and countless artistic leaps later, the Opera has achieved the stature of a world class company and plays to standing-room-only audiences at the Kennedy Center Opera House. The company recently received the designation "The National Opera" by the Congress of the United States of America.
Washington National Opera has earned its position through the number and quality of its new productions and by championing lesser known works of significant musical worth rarely presented on today's opera stages. It is committed to sustaining new American opera, presenting new works in crucial second productions to expand the operatic repertory. It has been hailed for its work with operas on the epic scale, as the British magazine Opera Now recently stated, "Washington National Opera is carving out a new area of expertise . . . staging grand spectacles to exacting standards with precision and power not often seen even at the world's top houses." The company is also known for its discovery and nurturing of important young talent and the international collaboration system it has pioneered with leading foreign opera companies |
