About Hänsel und Gretel:
Since its first performance in 1893, Humperdinck’s most famous opera Hansel and Gretel has remained constantly popular, becoming over the generations almost synonymous with the first family visit to the opera. “Brother come and dance with me!“ – “Susie, dear Susie” – a dancing brother and sister, the Dew Fairy and the Sandman, the Witch and the parents: a collection of all the fairy tale elements of the 19th century. And yet this is also a tale of hardship, hunger and the desire for abundance with a clear moral: “When the need is greatest, God the Lord puts out His hand!“
And, in Richard Jones’ opulent, brilliant setting, it’s a real must!

From previous concert in Passau:
“Die an der Münchner Staatsoper tätige Sopranistin Emily Pogorelc beeindruckte in Arien mit herrlicher Stimme und war in Duetten mit Villazon ebenbürtige Partnerin. Umjubelte Höhepunkte waren Mega-Hits wie „Dein ist mein ganzes Herz“, „Deine Lippen, die küssen so heiß“. Der stürmische Applaus endete erst nach fünf Zugaben”
“Soprano Emily Pogorelc, who is active at the Munich State Opera, impressed in arias with her magnificent voice and was an equal partner with Villazon in duets. Acclaimed highlights were mega-hits like “Dein ist mein ganzes Herz”, “Deine Lippen, die küssen so heiß”. The stormy applause ended only after five encores”. -Oberösterreichisches Volksblatt

Klingsors Zaubermädchen 4 -- Parsifal Acts 2+3
2023-01-19 19:30 | Grieghallen, Edvard Griegs plass 1, Bergen, 5015, Norway
Parsifal has been described as ‘the greatest work of art ever created in any medium.’

Richard Wagner’s final music drama is unlike anything that went before or has come since. It can feel more like a ritual ceremony than an opera – grand yet intimate, somehow occupying its own space and time. At the heart of Parsifal is a curious, magical treatment of the symphony orchestra that appears to give the voices above it all the space and autonomy they need.
Following award-winning concert performances of Peter Grimes with Stuart Skelton in the title role, the Australian tenor returns to Bergen in the same capacity for this Parsifal under chief conductor Edward Gardner. Joining them is a handpicked cast including Johan Reuter as the wounded Amfortas, Brindley Sherratt as the wise old Gurnemanz and Ricarda Merbeth as the teasing Kundry. Any performance of Parsifal is special. Focusing on Wagner’s miraculous, glowing music alone, this one is sure to prove truly memorable.

Program
(Full Program to be announced)

Still a star on the rise, soprano Emily Pogorelc makes her area recital debut under the auspices of Vocal Arts DC’S Gerald Perman Emerging Artists Fund in a program with pianist Chris Reynolds, featuring songs by Hugo Wolf, Lili Boulanger and Joseph Schwantner.
Technically, young soprano Emily Pogorelc is not a newcomer to Washington: while still an undergraduate at Philadelphia’s Curtis Institute, she joined the cast of Francesca Zambello’s 2018 Washington National Opera staging of Bernstein’s Candide as Cunegonde to replace an indisposed colleague, scoring a triumphant local debut. She subsequently joined Lyric Opera of Chicago’s prestigious Ryan Opera Center, and then immediately became a member of the ensemble at Munich’s Bavarian State Opera beginning with the 2020-2022 seasons, where she has already appeared as Adina in L’elisir d’amore, Cherubino in Le nozze di Figaro and Lauretta in Gianni Schicchi. A 2021 winner of the Operalia competition in Moscow, she appears during the 2022 summer season at the Glyndebourne Festival as Cherubino before returning to Munich for the 2022-2023 season to appear as Pamina in Die Zauberflöte, Gretel in Hänsel und Gretel and the title role in Toshio Hosokawa’s Matsukaze.

Principal Conductor Marie Jacquot opens the Royal Danish Orchestra’s 2025–26 symphonic season with two luminous masterworks by Richard Strauss and Gustav Mahler, exploring the profound themes of life, death, and transcendence.

Emily Pogorelc makes her role debut as Sophie in a brand-new production of Richard Strauss’s Der Rosenkavalier at Opernhaus Zürich. This beloved opera blends romance, comedy, and a touch of melancholy in a richly detailed world inspired by Rococo Vienna.
The story follows the Marschallin, a noblewoman who gracefully lets go of her young lover Octavian as he falls in love with Sophie, the spirited daughter of a rising bourgeois family. With its sweeping melodies and emotional depth, Strauss’s score captures everything from lush grandeur to quiet heartbreak.
This new staging, directed by Lydia Steier and brought to life through the striking aesthetic vision of Austrian artist Gottfried Helnwein, promises a fresh and visually arresting take on the classic.
Joining Emily on stage are Diana Damrau as the Marschallin, Angela Brower as Octavian, and Günther Groissböck as Baron Ochs. The production is conducted by Joana Mallwitz, General Music Director of the Konzerthaus Berlin, leading the acclaimed Orchester der Oper Zürich.

Masters of the Waltz: Concert with Manfred Honeck and Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra
2025-10-09 18:00, 2025-10-11 15:00 | The Main Hall at Konserthuset Stockholm, Hötorget 8, Stockholm, 103 87, Sweden
When it comes to festivity and elegance in the world of music, few names shine brighter than Johann Strauss II. This year marks the 200th anniversary of his birth – celebrated with a concert brimming with sparkling waltzes and whirling polkas.
But Johann Strauss II was not alone in putting the waltz on the map. The programme also features works by other masters of the genre – including Franz Lehár and Franz von Suppè. Making her Konserthuset debut is internationally acclaimed American soprano Emily Pogorelc, performing operetta gems. A golden age in Vienna comes to life – almost like a Viennese New Year’s concert in the autumn darkness.
Frivolous and superficial? Not quite – this music demands great care and finesse to truly soar. The Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra is led by a connoisseur of the genre: Austrian conductor Manfred Honeck, who grew up with these Viennese delicacies. His early years as a violist with the Vienna Philharmonic have deeply influenced his work as a conductor and his ability to uncover the music’s deeper layers.
