Erwin Schrott @dieglocke_bremen
TANGO DIABOLO
In “Tango Diablo,” Erwin Schrott bridges the gap from Mephisto arias by Gounod and Boito to Latin American tango music. For him, this music represents home, as the son of Spanish-Uruguayan parents with German roots, it has profoundly shaped him as both a person and a musician—a devilishly good program!

Nixon in China
John Adams
Kent Nagano, musical director
Opéra Bastille
from 24 February to 20 March 2026
In 1972, Richard Nixon visited Mao Zedong in China, marking the beginning of a rapprochement between the United States and China against the backdrop of the Cold War. Fifteen years later, American composer John Adams chose this episode as the subject of his first opera, a score marked by its rhythmic pulse, shimmering colours and intense lyricism.
The work entered the Paris Opera repertoire in 2023 in a production directed by Valentina Carrasco, who eschews realism in favour of the poetry of allegory and the magical, not without a touch of humour.
The common thread running through her dramaturgy is the metaphor of “ping‑pong diplomacy” – a reference to the first diplomatic overture through sport between China and the United States in 1971 – which combines with the metaphor of illusion to deliver spectacular images and a keen reflection on history and the vanity of power.

In Distant Worlds – Rediscovering Mozart’s Music
A musical theater project by Christopher Rüping, Omer Meir Wellber, and Malte Ubenauf, featuring music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Video: Maximilian Probst
In Midori’s own words: “With deep listening one falls in love with each of these pieces, welcoming us into an exploration of the multitude of reasons of our existence: to love, to suffer, to create and live in a cruel world, to absorb and sometime inflict harm, to love music for its solace, while recognizing that it does not cure all our ills — and yet to hope; to overcome, to give in to the beauties and the ugliness of living a life.”
‘Schumann: Violin Concerto & Works for Violin and Piano by Clara and Robert Schumann’ with Midori, Festival Strings Lucerne, Daniel Dodds & Özgür Aydin is out now to listen on all platforms and on CD.
