Opera season opening in Bucharest

The 2009/2010 season at the National Opera House in Bucharest opened early this year together with the 19th edition of the annual George Enescu International Festival with four of last season’s best opera productions (Enescu’s Oedipus, Verdi’s Othello and Macbeth, and Puccini’s Manon Lescaut) and one ballet (Swan Lake) in its programme running until the end of September 2009. For the next two months, October and November, the repertoire is rich with past productions you should see if you missed them last year.
