In a box in the archives of London’s Morley College Elaine Andrews came across a previously unknown #VaughanWilliams song. Titled Before the Mirror, it sets a Swinburne poem that itself was inspired by a Whistler painting.

https://www.theguardian.com/music/2026/may/13/a-lost-vaughan-williams-song-is-exciting-news-but-what-else-remains-to-be-found

A ‘lost’ Vaughan Williams song is exciting news but what else remains to be ‘found’?

All kinds of musical riches by formerly overlooked composers may be languishing in lofts and dusty archives.

El cantante vasco #XabierAnduaga se corona en el #Liceu como el tenor más anhelado con su debut romántico como #Werther

Anduaga enamora al mundo

Imagínense a Christof Loy, ese hombre de teatro que ha traído al mundo de la ópera una sensibilidad máxima. Imagínenlo educando a Xabier Anduaga en lo actoral para, finalmente, convertirlo en mucho más que una bella voz. El cantante vasco, ese diamante en bruto de la lírica peninsular –y ya mundial–, dejó vislumbrar anoche en el Liceu un alma profunda y quien sabe si abisal en el papel de Werther, ese joven atribulado de la novela de Goethe (1774) que un siglo después adaptó Jules Massenet en una pasional ópera en cuatro actos.

#opéra Au Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, le regard hésite d’abord entre la scène où s’éveille la nymphe de Francesco Cavalli et la coupole où se déploient de somptueuses fresques.

La Calisto ou les mirages du désir : Cavalli au prisme des Lumières

Au Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, le regard hésite d’abord entre la scène où s’éveille la nymphe de Francesco Cavalli et la coupole où se déploient de somptueuses fresques. Ce chef-d’œuvre de l’Art déco, inauguré en 1913, garde un trésor discret : depuis la salle, un simple lever d’yeux découvre un firmament peint, traversé de figures allégoriques et d’harmonies chromatiques, comme une mémoire suspendue des Ballets russes. C’est sous cette voûte d’apparat que Jetske Mijnssen et Sébastien Daucé inscrivent La Calisto dans un clair-obscur de raffinement et de désenchantement.

"Opera Philadelphia’s upcoming season will feature a comedy about a president who defies electoral defeat to become a dictator

George and Ira Gershwin’s 'Let ‘Em Eat Cake' flopped on Broadway in 1933. Opera Philadelphia will revive it for the midterm election season.

In George and Ira Gershwin’s 'Let ‘Em Eat Cake', a fictional U.S. president denies his lost re-election, reclaims the presidency in a fascist coup and capitalizes on his own dictatorship. Along the way, he launched a business selling blue shirts, turns the Supreme Court into a baseball team and redesigns the White House.

The plot of the Ira and George Gershwin comic musical 'Let ‘Em Eat Cake' was written 93 years ago and has not been seen onstage in America in almost as long. Now, Opera Philadelphia is bringing it back in its upcoming 2026-2027 season."
