Opera Now  |  May 2022
In the May issue of Opera Now, we speak to Edward Gardner, one of Britain's most acclaimed and exciting conductors, about his new role as music director of Norway's flagship opera company and his plans to transform it into a leading player on the international scene.
Elsewhere, a special survey into the golden age of the countertenor explores the otherworldly, boundary-breaking qualities of a beguiling voice that is enjoying the limelight both on the concert platform and the operatic stage.
This issue also includes our guide to summer festivals, presenting Opera Now's pick of unmissable events around Europe with a focus on Britain, Italy, Wagner and arena opera.
Plus, operatic attractions in Scandinavia; reviving Rameau's rich operatic legacy; artistic director Walter Sutcliffe prepares for a new production of Orlando at the Halle Handel Festival in its centenary year; and Michael Chance shares his Favourite Things.
