- DirectorSaskia BoddekeStarsLuciano GanciLara GuidettiLuciano LeoniWith more than 50 years of experience as film director, Peter Greenaway (Nightwatching, Eisenstein in Guanajuato) combines the worlds of film and opera at the Verdi Festival in Parma, demonstrating what magic those two can do together with an all new approach to Giuseppe Verdi's Giovanna d'Arco, staged and edited by himself and his wife, Saskia Boddeke. The opera's libretto is based on Friedrich Schiller's 'The Maid of Orleans'. It tells the story of the French national hero Jeanne d'Arc, who defends her country against the English troops during the Hundred Years' War. Constantly torn between her humble roots, her love for King Charles VII and her heavenly task to fight for France, she gains eternal glory by giving her life in the final, victorious battle against England.

- DirectorAgnes MéthStarsTim MeadMarie ArnetKirsten BlaiseGeorge Frideric Handel's Admeto is considered one of the most successful operas to have been produced in the first half of the 18th century. Along with Radamisto, Giulio Cesare, Tamerlano, Rodelinda, and Alessandro, also written in this period, Admeto belongs to Handel's so-called "London operas"--works he composed for the Royal Academy of Music. Though born in Halle, Germany, Handel spent most of his adult life in London, becoming a British subject in 1727. Axel Köhler, the celebrated countertenor currently active in Munich, Halle, and Berlin--now also well known for his work as a director--has brought Admeto into the modern era in timeless style by the skillful application of imaginative theatrical digressions. Köhler's 2006 festival production at the Halle Opernhaus revisits a work that encompasses comedy, tragedy, and almost absurd grotesqueness, giving it a convincing metaphor in the form of a modern hospital.
