Malena Ernman

Greta Thunberg, a 15-year-old student in Sweden, started a school strike for the climate as her question for adults was, if you don’t care about my future on earth, why should I care about my future in school? Within months, her strike evolved into a global movement as the quiet teenage girl on the autism spectrum becomes a world-famous activist.

Glyndebourne's pulsating new production of the Waltz King's much-loved comic operetta. Its story centers on a magnificent masked ball, given by a Russian prince, that brings together all the main characters in various disguises. The three-act journey from boudoir to ballroom to jail provides ample opportunities for farce and humor, but also for genuine human emotion and a surprisingly realistic view of urban life.

In their concert Terra Mater, leading figures on the early music scene Christina Pluhar and her ensemble L'Arpeggiata celebrate Mother Nature with Swedish mezzo-soprano Malena Ernman. Vocal and instrumental art intertwine with delight until they merge, evoking not only the exuberance of Baroque nature, but also its fragility. A conceptual concert rich in associations.

But I, being poor, have only my dreams. I have spread my dreams under your feet. Tread softly, because you tread on my dreams...

Swedish mezzo-soprano Malena Ernman as a disarming Dido is at the head of a stellar cast joined by Les Arts Florissants under William Christie’s direction.
