Eine Liedreise mit Fatma Said and Friends

Sat, Jun 7, 2025, 19:00
Fatma Said (Soprano), Christian Gerber (Bandoneon), Henning Sieverts (Contrabass), Tim Allhoff, Joseph Middleton (Piano)
Fast wäre sie Tennisprofi geworden, aber es ist anders gekommen. Ein Chorleiter in ihrer Heimatstadt Kairo hatte ihr Talent erkannt und sie nach Kräften gefördert. Heute ist Fatma Said eine gefeierte Sopranistin. Ihr Debüt gab sie in der "Zauberflöte", 2016 an der Mailänder Scala. Fünf Jahre später gewann sie nicht nur einen "Opus Klassik"-Preis, sondern wurde auch vom BBC Music Magazine zum "Newcomer of the Year" gekürt. Said liebt es, mit ihren Konzerten die Grenzen von Genres und Kulturen zu verwischen. "Jede Kultur hat ihre Musik. Aber jede war von der anderen auch sehr beeinflusst", meint sie. In Essen schickt sie ihre Zuhörer*innen auf eine Liederreise. Zunächst taucht sie tief ein in die deutsche Romantik. Dann schlägt sie die Brücke zur populären Musik Europas und vereint den Tango Argentiniens mit den Klängen des Orients.

Auf dem Gletscher

Wed, Apr 24, 2024, 19:00
Nicholas Collon (Conductor), Bastian Korff (Moderator)
»Eine Alpensinfonie« lässt sich hören wie ein Film-Soundtrack. Vor dem inneren Auge zu sehen: der mühsame, aber durch grandiose Naturbilder belohnte Aufstieg zu einem Alpengipfel. Natürlich spitzt sich die Situation zu, denn auch ein Richard Strauss wusste: Drama an der Bergwand muss sein. Sonnenaufgang – Der Anstieg – Auf der Alm – Durch Dickicht und Gestrüpp auf Irrwegen – Auf dem Gletscher – Gefahrvolle Augenblicke – Auf dem Gipfel – Gewitter und Sturm, Abstieg: Das sind nur einige der 22 Landschaftsbilder, aus denen sich dieses gewaltige Werk aufbaut. Und gewaltig sind auch die musikalischen Mittel, die dieses Bergmassiv zum Klingen bringen. Blechbläser aus der Ferne, Kuhglocken, eine Maschine für die Windgeräusche, Strauss lässt nichts aus, um das Erleben der Natur mit all seinen Herausforderungen plastisch darzustellen. Und dazu die Orgel hoch oben über dem groß besetzten Orchester, der Effekt ist atemberaubend. Ein Sound, so breit, monumental und faszinierend wie ein Alpenpanorama. Konzertdauer: ca. 80 Minuten – keine Pause!

Ariadne auf Naxos

Wed, Jan 29, 2025, 19:00
Dmitri Tcherniakov (Inszenierung), Dmitri Tcherniakov (Bühne), Kent Nagano (Musical Director), Elena Zaytseva (Costume), Gleb Filshtinsky (Licht), Tatiana Werestchagina (Dramaturgie), Michael Sangkuhl (Dramaturgie), Dr. Angela Beuerle (Dramaturgie), Thorsten Cölle (Regieassistenz), Danila Travin (Assistenz Bühnenbild), Wolfram Koch (Haushofmeister), Martin Gantner (Musiklehrer), Ella Taylor (Komponist), Jamez McCorkle (Tenor), Jamez McCorkle (Bacchus), Peter Tantsits (Tanzmeister), Grzegorz Pelutis (Perückenmacher), Hubert Kowalczyk (Ein Lakai), Nadezhda Pavlova (Zerbinetta), Anja Kampe (Primadonna), Anja Kampe (Ariadne), Björn Bürger (Harlekin), Florian Panzieri (Scaramuccio), Stephan Bootz (Truffaldin), Daniel Kluge (Brighella), Olivia Warburton (Najade), Aebh Kelly (Dryade), Marie Maidowski (Echo), Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg (Orchestra)
"It is a simple and tremendous problem of life: that of fidelity", is how Hugo von Hofmannsthal described the core of their third opera together, Ariadne auf Naxos, in a letter to Richard Strauss. To live does not mean to persevere and hold on to what has been lost. If you want to live, you have to let go, forget, get over yourself - constantly transform yourself. This is what a young opera composer experiences in this work when he is confronted with the stubborn wishes of his patron; just like the protagonist of his opera, Ariadne, who, abandoned by her lover, Theseus, expects only death. But things turn out differently... Strauss and Hofmannsthal let the opposites collide: Tragedy and comedy, light music and grand opera, playfulness and seriousness. Thus, in the mirroring of art and life, between gaze and gaze, the unfathomable mystery of transformation takes place.
