Operabase — New and Rare Opera Listing — 2009/10 
One hundred years ago, almost all music was new and rare to its audience. Without recordings, the audience could only listen to what was on offer live. Without radio, the audience could only listen to what was available to them locally. A piece might be heard once or two and then disappear for a decade or more.

New and rare works occupy a very different part of the repertory now. Historical research and widening taste has brought back the early and baroque opera into the standard repertoire, the 20th century brought an explosion of different musical styles (both newly invented and from other cultures). There are fewer creations these days, but they cover a wider musical range, and the audience is less homogenous, so connecting the work and the audience has become ever more important. This list is designed to help give the maximum profile to new works, over the largest catchment area

 L'amour coupable Opéra, 5 acts; Libretto: Eugène Green, after the play 'La Mère coupable' by Beaumarchais;  (WP) 23-27 Apr; Opéra de Rouen Haute-Normandie p. Stephan Grögler
Two of the most popular and successful comic operas are based on the goings-on in the Almaviva household. The Barber of Seville and The Marriage of Figaro are settings of the first two plays of the trilogy by Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais. Part of the reason of the success is the appeal of the rounded characters created by Beaumarchais (it has been suggested that 'Figaro' is a play on 'fils Caron' -- the 'son' of the author)
Thierry Pécou finishes his three year residency at Rennes with his first full scale opera -- a setting of the third play -- called L'amour coupable.
The third play, L'autre Tartuffe ou La mere coupable, is a much darker piece around the same characters 20 years later. The guilty mother of the title is the Countess, who has had a child by Cherubino following a moment of madness when he forced himself upon her. The family is also in financial trouble but is saved from arranged marriages and bankruptcy by the wits of Figaro.
Two other operas this season re-use characters from the trilogy.
Massenet's Chérubin (Cherubino) is an enjoyable piece of froth, following Cherubino's intrigues and misadventures on his 17th birthday. Although he ends up with just one girl, the opera's closing musical quote from Don Giovanni suggests that this is only temporary.
John Coriglino's new reduced version of The Ghosts of Versailles takes place in three worlds: the ghostly, the theatrical and the historical. Beaumarchais, one of the spirits inhabiting Versailles, falls in love with Marie Antoinette and contrives a new play in order to change history and prevent her beheading, only to have his efforts undone by the disillusioned revolutionary Figaro.

La serva padrona is perhaps the most famous nowadays. In the interwar years of the 20th century there was a vogue for shorter works from Milhaud, Hindemith and others -- miniatures -- complete stories but with a duration of under 15 minutes. Interest in short opera scenes and micro operas proved popular in the United States in the later 20th century, as concert or recital pieces. There are two quadrilogies in the coming season. Martinu’s operatic cycle of four mystery plays, The Plays of Mary, combining theatrical experiment with folk elements, dance and mime, can be seen in both Bratislava and in Prague; and the Opéra-Théâtre in Limoges mounts the quartet of humorous, 15-minute pastiches of different opera styles by Germaine Taillefer, the only woman member of the Groupe des Six. For the third year running, Scottish Opera will present five commissioned mini-operas of 15 minutes each in Spring 2010, in their programming strand, ‘Five:15 Made in Scotland’. Composers, librettists and titles to be announced later. The Olympia Theatre in Athens presents a mixed programme of seven operas in January 2010 -- three by Darius Milhaud, and one each by Paul Hindemith, Samuel Barber, Henri Sauguet and Marco Sofianopulo. Zurich’s Oper im Knopfloch goes one better in October, and celebrates its 10th anniversary with an eight-opera programme of Tom Johnson, Lukas Foss, Ned Rorem, Michael Torke, Jake Heggie, Ernst Toch, Erik Satie, and a new commission from Fabian Muller. >>COMPETITIONS There are many competitions for opera singers, but the Opera Competition and Festival with Mezzo Television in Szeged is unique. The competition is for the best all-round performances, male and female, and that can only be judged in fully-staged and complete live performances. Five opera companies, in five different countries, are involved, opening one of their season’s productions to competitive audition. Those productions are then repeated in Szeged during the two week festival, and the singers are judged by an international panel. The 2009 festival runs 3-16 November, with productions of David Alagna’s Last Day of a Condemned Man (from the Csokonai Theatre, Debrecen); Strauss’ Ariadne auf Naxos (Baltic Opera, Gdansk); Martinu’s Alexandre bis and Ravel’s L’heure Espagnole (Theater Biel-Solothurn); Marco Tutino’s Vita (from Ostrava), and Tobias Picker’s Emmeline (Dicapo Opera Theatre, New York)
