- Sir Simon Rattle conducts the London Symphony Orchestra with Philip Cobb and Gábor Tarkövi for the opening concert of the LSO's 2018/19 season, taking place at the Barbican Center.
- Floria and Mario are in love and determined to defend their free love affair. But the combined effects of Floria's jealousy and religious and political oppression bring all three protagonists to a tragic end. The drama, in which the music highlights the character's psychological makeup, is underscored by the fear of God as a tool of political domination and social manipulation. Tosca relates how a prima donna's suspicions determine her lover's fate. The ageless heroine Tosca is a turn of the century femme fatale but also the embodiment of the committed modern woman. She clashes with Scarpia, the ruthless, sadistic police chief who has one fatal weakness: the diva herself.
- The striking aspect of this production of Wagner's Das Rheingold is the unique and offbeat staging by Robert Carsen, who plunges us into a world of darkness. For that, Patrick Kinmonth designed a basic set of blocks of concrete and cranes.
- The legend of Faust, the man who makes a pact with the devil in exchange for power and knowledge, has been adapted many times in various artistic forms. Charles Gounod made this hypnotic story his own, and used it as the basis for the composition of what was to become his most popular opera, and one of the best-known French operas in the world. After a 15-year absence, this work returns to the stage of Madrid's Teatro Real, opening the 2018/2019 season. In this co-production by Teatro Real and Amsterdam's Nationale Opera and Ballet, director Alex Ollé of La Fura dels Baus sets the action in modern times, with Faust working as the head of a computer research center.
- For Venezuelan musician and bassist Oscar D'León, salsa is like second nature. That's why he is affectionately nicknamed The Pharaoh of Salsa. He shows us his real self with brilliance during his July 13, 2010, concert at the Zénith Paris.
- "The day I die, I do not want people crying," Cuban pianist Bebo Valdés, deceased in March 2013, had always said. So, just after his death, here's a celebration led by Bebo's son, Chucho Valdés, and his band The Afro-Cuban Jazz Messengers.
- Teodor Currentzis conducts Musicaeterna at the Sainte Chapelle
- Familiar faces at Cully following their previous appearances, John Medeski, Billy Martin and Chris Wood, who have completely redefined the musical possibilities of the jazz trio, are back this year for a sound explosion. With an exemplary career over more than 20 years, the three colorful New Yorkers have made groove their watchword and adventurous performance their playground. With a collective communication that borders on telepathy they deliver legendary concerts, offering themselves to the audience in a brilliant, instinctive style. From funk gimmicks to blues phrasing they make every musical reference their own in this concert, which is performed in company with that great guitarist Nels Cline, who is equally at ease with a John Coltrane number or when playing with the alternative rock band Wilco.
- Sir Simon Rattle is joined by virtuoso soprano Barbara Hannigan for a modernist program that showcases the immense capabilities of the London Symphony Orchestra. At the heart of this concert is Igor Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring (1913).
- Israeli duo Red Axes heat up the dancefloor at Barcelona's Sónar 2019 festival. Comfortably established on the international scene, Red Axes present a musical triptych inspired not only by their collaborations and recordings with musicians from all over the world, but also by the rich tapestry of sound that is their identity. They draw inspiration from their homeland to compose a spectacular audiovisual journey woven with the dynamic improvisations they know so well. Their trademark? Percussion, particularly the polyrhythms of sub-Saharan Africa. Red Axes builds a sound made of collaborations and improvisations.

- Venice was ruled by a Council of Ten (CX) made up of members of the highest aristocracy, co-opted among themselves and under the theoretical authority of the Doge who in fact had no power other than representative and was a plaything. in their hands. The C.X exercised absolute authority over the country, neglecting nothing to establish it, as shown by the institution of the famous "lion's mouth" still visible in the Doge's Palace, and the all-powerful spies he maintained urbi et orbi. Venice designated itself under the title of Serenissima Republic, we measure the irony of the title at the time when the facts of the opera unfolds: a republic, it was one in its beginnings, also serene, to establish, in defiance of all rules and ethics, its trade in the Mediterranean basin. But the hour of forfeiture was about to strike in the 15th century: the improvements in long-distance navigation methods, the discoveries that were to result (America, passage of the Cape of Good Hope, etc.), would revolutionize world trade, ruin that of Venice and lead the country towards a rapid decline with the excesses, political, social, financial and artistic that one encounters in these ends of regimes and which Bonaparte was going to try to remedy.
