Opera and concert tally for 2019





Wonderful to have attended so many concerts of contemporary music this year, not least in order to welcome so many women composers to the list, some for the first time. No apologies for Beethoven, Wagner, Mozart, et al.; nor for four absorbing encouters with the music of Helmut Lachenmann, although it was at least as delightful to add to them three with the music of Olga Neuwirth.

Beethoven, Wagner 11

Mozart 10

Haydn, Schumann, Strauss 6

Bach, Brahms, Mahler, Tchaikovsky 5

Bartók, Berlioz, Handel, Lachenmann, Ligeti, Prokofiev, Puccini, Schubert, Stockhausen 4

Boulez, Debussy, Dvořak, Janáček, Liszt, Messiaen, Olga Neuwirth, Rameau, Ravel, Saint-Saëns, Schoenberg, Varèse 3
