A nice encounter in London last night!

Two of our young conductors, Nicolò Foron and Shira Samuels-Shragg, catching up and sharing a moment together.

It’s always a pleasure to see our artists connecting, exchanging experiences and supporting each other, with the curiosity and openness that we value so much at AMC.

Last Sunday, Opernhaus Zürich celebrated the premiere of a new production bringing together Sergei Rachmaninoff’s three one-act operas, Aleko, The Miserly Knight and Francesca da Rimini, performed together in a single evening for the first time in Switzerland.

Conducted by Gianandrea Noseda and directed by Dmitri Tcherniakov, this new production offers a unique opportunity to discover Rachmaninoff’s operatic world through three works exploring love, jealousy, obsession and the complexities of human relationships.

Congratulations to everyone involved in bringing this ambitious production to the stage!

Don’t miss the upcoming performances at Opernhaus Zürich.

What If, Not Now?

Isn’t it time to challenge the perception of aging in the dance world?

This is precisely the mission of the newly founded WINN Dance Company, bringing together former principal dancers aged 40+.

Their bodies carry a rich archive of memories, experiences, and artistic expression, with so many stories still to tell.

And this is exactly what we witnessed last Saturday in Ludwigshafen with SCIROCCO – Death in Venice / Bridge of Sighs.

Not only was the cast of dancers world-class, but so was the extraordinary choreographic team: Imre & Marne van Opstal, Omar Román de Jesús, Rainer Behr, and John Neumeier.

A powerful reminder that artistic expression doesn’t have an expiration date. ✨
