The operatic program is completed with Don Giovanni by Mozart; the Spanish premiere of Cyrano de Bergerac by Francisco Alfano with Plácido Domingo; Belle et la Bête by Philip Glass and the zarzuela La Bruja by Ruperto Chapí from Alicante.

All performances of the operatic titles will have a single cast, which gives a high artistic level to the first season.

The Great Soloists Subscription Series includes the Lyric Recital by international artists Waltraud Meier, Petra-Maria Schnitzer, Peter Seiffert and Matti Salminen; the Symphonic Concert in Commemoration of Dmitri Shostakovich; the Recital by Barbara Frittoli; the Recital by Olga Borodina and Ildar Abdrazakov under the musical direction of Keri-Lynn Wilson and the recital by the prestigious tenor Juan Diego Flórez.
