The 2022 - 2023 opera season opens on September 17th in Sharon's new staging of Die Walküre: Act III, co-produced with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, conducted by Sir Andrew Davis, and starring Detroit Opera Associate Artistic Director Christine Goerke. The season also includes a new production of Osvaldo Golijov's Ainadamar, marking Detroit Opera’s first international co-production with Opera Ventures and Scottish Opera. Other staged productions include Gounod’s Faust, directed by Lileana Blain-Cruz and conducted by Dame Jane Glover, in a revelatory production from Opera Omaha, and Tazewell Thompson’s staging of Handel’s Xerxes from the Glimmerglass Festival. Rounding out the season are a concert performance of Verdi’s Aida, featuring role debuts by soprano Angel Blue (Aida) and Goerke (Amneris), and conducted by Jonathon Heyward; and a Detroit-specific production devised by Sharon will premiere in the summer of 2023.

A fast-paced mix of comedy and drama, this was Handel at his most innovative – and Tazewell Thompson’s striking and sumptuous production brings out all of its many wonders. The jaw-dropping musicality of countertenor Key’mon Murrah and soprano Lauren Snouffer will make this an unforgettable feast for the senses, with the renowned Handel specialist Jane Glover conducting.
