Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

Cecilia Bartoli (Mezzo-Soprano), Mélissa Petit (Soprano), Les Musiciens du Prince – Monaco, Il Canto di Orfeo (Vocal Ensemble), Gianluca Capuano (Conductor)

With a voice whose beauty, range and agility seem to know no bounds, Cecilia Bartoli is one of the undisputed world leaders in singing. She also has an almost magnetic stage presence and a charisma that not only thrills classical music fans. No wonder she enjoys a legendary reputation, especially on the opera stage. In addition to Bartoli’s stage career, the mezzo-soprano also devotes herself time and again to special projects. She brings one of these to the Elbphilharmonie for ProArte: Christoph Willibald Gluck’s grandiose opera »Orfeo ed Euridice« in a rarely performed later version. At her side: the Musiciens du Prince of the Opéra de Monte-Carlo under the direction of Gianluca Capuano and the outstanding choir Il Canto di Orfeo. A feast for the eyes and ears guaranteed!

‘Masses’ by Ed Atkins

Sun, Jan 5, 2025, 11:00

Deutsche Oper Berlin, Foyer (Berlin)

Ed Atkins is particularly attracted to the costumes from the Deutsche Oper Berlin's collection: the masses of different fabrics are lined up in dense rows on sober clothes rails like a compressed store of stories and memories. Each individual item of clothing would tell its own story if you took it off the rail: about the opera in which it was used, about the people who wore it and about the dreams it triggers in anyone who looks at it. For him, this analogue part of his installation forms a counterpart to his video installations, which stage fragments of stories from today's flood of images from digital media, some whimsical, some disturbing. This tension between costumes, opera stories and contemporary films forms the narrative core of Ed Atkins‘ work as a visual and narrative artist – at the same time, he is a contributor to the libretto of Rebecca Saunders’ world premiere LASH on 20 June 2025 on the stage of the Deutsche Oper Berlin. Ed Atkins is one of the most versatile British artists of his generation and has attracted international attention as a visual artist, writer, and filmmaker. Atkins lives and works in Copenhagen. Recent institutional solo exhibitions include ‘Refuse’ at Tank, Shanghai (2022), ‘Get Life / Love's Work’ at the New Museum, New York (2021), as well as exhibitions at the Kunsthaus Bregenz and K21 Düsseldorf (both 2019), at the Martin-Gropius-Bau, Berlin, at the MMK Frankfurt and DHC/ART in Montréal (all 2017), at Castello di Rivoli and Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo in Turin, at The Kitchen New York, SMK Copenhagen (all 2016), Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam (2015), The Serpentine Gallery London (2014), Julia Stoschek Collection Düsseldorf (2013) and MoMA PS1 (2012). Atkins was included in the 56th and 58th Venice Biennales, the 13th Lyon Biennale, and Performa 13 and 19. An anthology of Ed’s texts, ‘A Primer for Cadavers’, was published by Fitzcarraldo in 2016, and an extensive artist’s monograph from Skira was released in 2017. An epic ...

Hathor Consort / Dorothee Mields / Romina Lischka

Fri, May 17, 2024, 20:00

Laeiszhalle, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

Hathor Consort, Dorothee Mields (Soprano), Romina Lischka (Viola da gamba), Romina Lischka (Director)

What traces do wars leave on the music of the time? The Hathor Consort, a viol ensemble of to which harp, organ and cornett are added, joins forces with soprano Dorothee Mields to look for echoes of the Thirty Years’ War in the works of composers who witnessed this catastrophic period in European history. With his »Trostgedichten in Widerwertigkeit deß Kriegs«, the poet Martin Opitz wrote an influential treatise of edification in the midst of this fierce conflict that claimed the lives of around a third of the population. The composers of the age attempted to process the deep trauma of violence, hunger and utter defencelessness through their music. This programme brings together four musical witnesses of the time:Heinrich Schütz, Samuel Scheidt, Andreas Hammerschmidt and Heinrich Albert. The acclaimed Hathor Consort focuses mainly on Renaissance and Baroque music, but it regularly combines this with music from other cultures as well as with contemporary works. Dorothee Mields likewise focuses entirely on Early Music, and her clear and intimate soprano is regarded as one of today’s top voices in the field of historic performing practice.
