Il barbiere di Siviglia

Sun, May 17, 2026, 19:00
Teresa Riveiro Böhm (Musical Director), Alice Meregaglia (Chorleitung), Jonah Hoskins (Conte Almaviva), Johannes Martin Kränzle (Don Bartolo), Raffaella Lupinacci (Rosina), Mattia Olivieri (Figaro), Ilia Kazakov (Don Basilio), Hellen Kwon (Berta), William Desbiens (Fiorello), Chor der Hamburgischen Staatsoper (Chorus), Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg (Orchestra)
COMEDY, CRISES AND COLORATURA IN A MASTERPIECE FOR ALL TIMES How do I become what I am not? Since its premiere in 1816, Gioachino Rossini's masterpiece Il barbiere di Siviglia has proven itself to be a timeless comedy in which every generation can be reflected anew. In the midst of the competition for a woman, the opera explores how its characters repeatedly stumble in their pursuit of success and recognition - an analysis that is served up as a musical treat and whose punchlines also strike a chord with today's meritocracy. The longing for an optimized self drives Count Almaviva first and foremost. He and his accomplice Figaro rely on one thing above all else to conquer Rosina's heart and to undermine her guardian Bartolo as a rival. Set to Rossini's effervescent music, the protagonists become entangled in a web of relationships in which status is fought for and love is vied for. Between appearance and reality, director Tatjana Gürbaca searches for the melancholy undertones of the comedy. For behind many a masquerade lies the desire to escape one's own role, behind many a showy vocal acrobatics the fear of missing out on life. Can there ever be a winner in the pursuit of happiness? Musical direction: Teresa Riveiro Böhm Production: Tatjana Gürbaca Stage and lighting: Klaus Grünberg Costumes: Barbara Drosihn Chorus: Alice Meregaglia Dramaturgy: Judith Wiemers Melodramma buffo in two acts (1816) Libretto: Cesare Sterbini after the comedy Le Barbier de Séville ou La précaution inutile by Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais

Europakonzert Riccardo Muti and the Berliner Philharmoniker in Bari

Thu, May 1, 2025, 11:00
Berliner Philharmoniker (Orchestra), Riccardo Muti (Conductor)
With its brick-red façade, a gleaming white entrance area and a magnificent red and gold auditorium, the venue for this year’s European Concert, Bari’s Teatro Petruzzelli, is an architectural jewel. Under the direction of Riccardo Muti, the Berliner Philharmoniker will present a mixed programme of Italian and German music. Rossini’s rousing William Tell Overture and the atmospheric ballet music from Verdi’s opera The Sicilian Vespers exude Italianità. Completing the programme, the dusky mixture of yearning and consolation in Brahms’ Second Symphony make the work a seminal example of late German Romanticism.

Guest performance Bologna

Fri, May 2, 2025, 20:30
Berliner Philharmoniker (Orchestra), Riccardo Muti (Conductor)
The Berliner Philharmoniker will also be stopping off in Bologna as part of their European concert tour of Italy. Conducted by Riccardo Muti, they invite you to a concert with an attractive Italian-German programme. Rossini’s rousing overture to William Tell and the atmospheric ballet music from Verdi's opera The Sicilian Vespers bring Italian flair to the stage. Brahms’ Second Symphony provides an exciting contrast – a work full of cantabile melodies, pastoral moods and darkly coloured timbres, which is considered the epitome of German late Romanticism.
