The week in NY opera (May 2-8)

Metropolitan Opera:
Walküre (M/Th), Rigoletto (T/F), Orfeo (W/SE), Ariadne (SM)
The second-to-last week of the season brings the last revival debut: Ariadne auf Naxos, with a promising lineup beyond the not-quite-satisfying Urmana in the title part.

Carnegie Hall:
Philadelphia Orchestra Oedipus Rex (T)

Philadelphia pairs Stravinsky's opera-oratorio on Oedipus with his ballet music for Apollo, while Bostridge sings Handel and other baroque arias accompanied by Les Violons du Roy.

New York Opera Forum Gianni Schicci/Cav (Sunday 1:30pm)
