ロイヤルオペラハウスの来シーズンの演目が発表になりました（→こちら）。
ここ数年ぱっとしないので期待はうんと低かったのですが、蓋を開けてみたら、なんと、なんと、愛しのフォークト様（貫禄出てきたのでクラウス君あらため）がローエングリンに出てくれるというじゃあありませんかImage may be NSFW.

、他のを冷静に判断できませんが、悪くない顔ぶれで私的には良いシーズンになりそうですImage may be NSFW.

テノールが充実してるのが一番嬉しいわけですが、フォークト、ポレンザーニ、メリ、ファビアーノ、ブレスリク、聞き飽きたけどカレヤ。 他に無名だけど注目してるイギリス人テノールが多数いるのもグー。 カウフマンもフローレスもグリゴーロも出ないけど、彼らはもう何度も聴いてるので別にいいです。 これでご無沙汰の丸ちゃん（マルセロ・アルバレス）が出てたら凄くハッピーだったけど、贅沢は言うまい。
私の好みは別として、バリトン／バスの有名どころとしては、キーンリーサイド、ルチッチ、ホロストフスキー、ダルカンジェロ、クヴィエチェン、テジエ、ナウリ、ドュゴー、ターフェル、と悪くないし、女性はネトレプコ、ガランチャ、ディドナート、ゲオルギュー、プロハスカ、ウエストブルックで、ネトコちゃんがちゃんと出てくれたらROHの名声も少し戻るというものですImage may be NSFW.

演目は以下コピペしましたが、★の数の基準は、例年同様、私自身の楽しみの度合いであり、良いプロダクションでもすでに何度も観てると減点、新プロダクションはそれだけで★がひとつ多くなる勘定です。
公演順に並んでますが、赤字は凄く楽しみにしてる歌手（今回は特別に楽しみな太字人もいます）、青字はそこそこ楽しみにしてる歌手、緑字はできれば他の人に代わってもらいたい歌手です。 低音歌手にはあまり惹かれない私、上手なバリトンやバスは感心しても胸はときめかないので、楽しみとしてはそこそこで青字止まり。
