In 2023-24 Ira Levin concluded three ongoing operatic cycles at the Theatro São Pedro. That of Kurt Weill included productions of The Seven Deadly Sins, The Threepenny Opera and the Brazilian premieres of Der Jasager and Der Lindburghflug. Janacek, (whom he introduced to Brazil with Jenufa in 2003) was represented by the Brazilian premieres of both Katya Kabanova and The Makropulos Case and a very successful The Cunning Little Vixen. The Brazilian premieres of Busoni’s Arlecchino (2017, with Pulcinella) and Turandot (2024, with Gianni Schicchi) were followed by yet another important one, Rossini’s Le comte ory, also in 2024. August 2025 he conducted a triumphant new production of Verdi’s Falstaff. And Don Pasquale will follow in 2026. All of the above can be viewed in You Tube.

His concert activities have continued with several leading orchestras in Brazil including among the standard repertoire, performances of Bruckner’s 5th symphony, Glazunov’s 5th, Haydn’s Stabat Mater and several of his own orchestrations of works by Reger, Busoni and Rachmaninoff and recently the world premiere of the Franck Piano Quintet in his orchestration.
