ONO Kazushi



© Johan Jacobs
Kazushi Ono was appointed the Principal Conductor of Opera de Lyon from the beginning of the 2008/09 season. In his first seasons there he conducts new productions of Profofiev, The Gamblers, Berg Lulu, Puccini Manon Lescaut and a new creation by Saariaho, Emilie. This position affords him the opportunity to build on his success at La Monnaie ? De Munt, Brussels, where he stepped down as Music Director in June 2008 after 6 hugely successful seasons. Ono?s debut production of Strauss?s Elektra at La Monnaie was described by the Suddeutsche Zeitung as ?the miracle of Brussels?. Kazushi Ono has conducted almost all Wagner?s operas, notably the complete Ring cycle at the Badisches Staatstheater of Karlsruhe, where he was Music Director from 1996 to 2002. Recent operatic highlights include the Opera de Paris with Hindemith Cardillac, Metropolitan Opera with Verdi Aida, La Scala Milan for Verdi Macbeth and Shostakovich Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk and Glyndebourne Festival Opera with Humperdink Hansel & Gretel. Kazushi Ono regularly appears as guest conductor with many leading international orchestras including the Israel Philharmonic, Boston Philharmonic, Leipzig Gewandhaus, City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, London Philharmonic and Santa Cecilia Rome. His work with radio orchestras includes Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, Vienna Radio Symphony, BBC Symphony and BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Danish Radio, Finnish Radio, RAI Turin and numerous German radio orchestras including Hamburg, Freiburg, Stuttgart, Frankfurt and Cologne. In 2006 he made his debut at the BBC Proms in London with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales.

Philippe Boesmans, Julie (Ref.: CYP4626)
Five years after the huge success of Wintermärchen, Philippe Boesmans returns with his fourth opera, Julie. An intimate work, an in camera drama of tortuous human relationships. Thanks to three superb singers, a chamber orchestra and an extraordinary conductor, Julie is perhaps "the finest opera score Boesmans has so far written" (De Morgen).
