A major milestone for Beth Taylor as she opens her 2026/27 season making her long-awaited debut at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden as Bradamante in Handel’s Alcina, in Richard Jones’ Olivier Award-winning production conducted by David Bates.

Handel and Baroque opera play a significant role in the Scottish mezzo-soprano’s repertoire, which includes Cornelia in Giulio Cesare, Elmira in Floridante and Dardano in Amadigi di Gaula, as well as Handel’s Messiah. Bradamante showcases the rich lower register, vocal agility, and dramatic intensity that have established Beth Taylor as one of today’s most distinctive mezzo-sopranos.

Performances are this evening and on September 18, 20, 23, 25, and October 3.

Michael Spyres launches a packed 2026/27 season that will take him to many of the world’s leading opera houses and concert halls, beginning with two concerts at the Opéra national du Rhin in Strasbourg this evening and 15, which also open the company’s new season.

Joined by the Orchestre philharmonique du Rhin under conductor Matthew Straw, Michael Spyres explores the Romantic and post-Romantic repertoire in a program spanning Wagner, Bizet, Massenet, Korngold and Richard Strauss. Among the highlights are Don José’s “La fleur que tu m’avais jetée” from "Carmen" and "Werther"’s “Pourquoi me réveiller?”, alongside excerpts from Wagner and Richard Strauss.

The concerts mark Michael Spyres’s return to the Opéra national du Rhin, where he gave a recital in 2019 and, most recently, made his role debut as Wagner’s "Lohengrin" in 2024.

Toi, toi, toi!

Toi, toi, toi to Beth Taylor, who this morning makes her long-awaited Edinburgh International Festival debut, joining long-time collaborator Hamish Brown for a recital inspired by the sea and the enduring power of female figures from myth.

Drawing on characters including Lorelei, Cassandra, and Medusa, the program spans nearly a millennium of music, from Hildegard of Bingen to contemporary composers, with women composers at its heart. Alongside works by Clara Schumann, Lili Boulanger, Ethel Smyth, and Connie Converse, the recital includes two works written especially for the Scottish mezzo-soprano: Cameron Biles-Liddell's "The Breakers", inspired by Scotland's dramatic coastline, and the world premiere of Stuart MacRae's "Medusa", created with poet JL Williams.

The recital will be recorded for future broadcast on BBC Radio 3.

Toi, toi, toi to Michael Spyres, who this evening takes center stage at the Festival Perelada for a recital with acclaimed Spanish soprano Sara Blanch and pianist Giulio Zappa.

Celebrated for his extraordinary vocal range, stylistic versatility, and compelling stage presence, Michael Spyres has redefined the possibilities of the tenor repertoire, moving effortlessly from bel canto to French grand opera and, more recently, to Wagner. For this special evening, he joins Sara Blanch, one of Spain's leading sopranos, in a program that showcases both artists' virtuosity and dramatic flair.

The recital spans French and Italian opera, zarzuela, and song, with music by Offenbach, Gounod, Rossini, Donizetti, Thomas, Puccini, Sorozábal, Chapí, Giménez, Penella, and other celebrated composers. Together with Giulio Zappa at the piano, Michael Spyres and Sara Blanch explore a rich and varied repertoire that highlights the expressive breadth, technical brilliance, and theatrical vitality for which they are internationally renowned.

Toi, toi, toi!!!
