  • Nielsen, Maskerade
  • Verdi, Il Corsaro
  • Carter, What's Next?
  • Bellini, La Sonnambula

  • Janaceck, The Excursions of Mr. Broucek
  • Meyerbeer, Robert le Diable
  • Double bill: Busoni, Turandot (I am not making this up); Bartok, A kékszakállú herceg vára

Since I've only seen three of those scheduled for seasons 1 and 2, I do hope you are buying a lottery ticket.

I've seen Corsaro, Frau, Bluebeard, Falstaff, Gezeichneten, and Penelope, though two of those were concert performances.

Lottery ticket: it would have to be a BIG lottery prize. A 15-opera season would be extremely costly. I'm assuming I can do it for less per opera than SFO's $65-70 million for nine operas, but it's still going to be, well, expensive.

You tease! Sadly, you couldn't even do a DVD recreation of your seasons 1 and 2, though I guess you could do a DVD/CD combo.

Thanks for mentioning Montezuma. (I will not make joke about a sequel, Montezuma II, with it's obvious subtitle.) Anyway, the Carter is short and should be on a double bill with another one-act. I recommend Schoenberg's Von Heute Auf Morgen.
