DESCRIPTION:Jul 26 - Aug 26\, 2026\nIn March\, the Salzburg Festival—syno
 nymous with class and prestige—sacked its longtime artistic director Mar
 kus Hinterhäuser “due to irreconcilable differences of opinion.” Wouc
 h. Among friends\, he had been speaking with special excitement of this su
 mmer’s new Carmen\, which places his hand-picked prima donna assoluta As
 mik Grigorian and the tenor-on-fire Jonathan Tetelman on a path of mutuall
 y assured destruction. She’s the smuggler’s moll with a day job rollin
 g ciggies in Seville\; he’s a mama-fixated desperado with blood on his h
 ands\, marking time in the military as a no-account brigadier. Davide Luci
 ano struts his stuff as a bullfighter who precipitates the inevitable crim
 e passionel. Gabriela Carrizo shares directing and choreography credits wi
 th her dance ensemble Peeping Tom. The attitudinizing Graeco-Russian cult-
 hero Teodor Currentzis conducts. Like Grigorian (who is widely idolized)\,
  Currentzis (who is polarizing) leapt to the top of the heap largely thank
 s to the showcase Hinterhäuser gave both of them in Salzburg. Gone but no
 t forgotten? Yes and no—in truth\, he won’t even be gone. Hinterhäuse
 r’s festival dates as the charismatic pianist he is remain on the calend
 ar. On July 29\, hear him partner the preeminent lieder baritone Matthias 
 Goerne in an all-Schubert program\; on August 11\, he pairs up with Igor L
 evit for Messiaen’s shimmering 50-minute two-piano head trip Visions de 
 l’Amen.
