Festival at Chorégies d'Orange: Aida for the people
One of the temples of traditionalism in opera is the Festival at Chorégies d'Orange. Every year they propose two new productions, each performed twice, with one of them live broadcast on the French national TV, which is why the Festival is so well known in France.
Even though the productions are almost always quite shallow, the singing at Chorégies is steadily great.

Salzburg and Chorégie d'Orange 2011
Full schedule with all operas (with all the details), concerts, recitals... for the Summer Festival in Salzburg 2011, are available on the Festival website. Note that you can already place your ticket(s) order. The most (only?) interesting should be The Makropulos Affair -- which I believe is one of the best operas ever. With Marthaler directing, Esa-Pekka conducting, this should be the most important event of the Salzburger Festspiele 2011. OK, Die Frau ohne Schatten should be good too.
On a different front, the Festival in Chorégie d'Orange unveiled their program for 2011. Details can be found on their website. In short, there will be two shows of Aida, two of Rigoletto, and a concert performance of Mahler's 9th.
