Ver- oder entgiftet Humor das Leben, Frau Hoppe?

Date & Time
Fri, Feb 21, 2025, 21:45
Does humor detoxify life, Ms. Hoppe? Mahler often said he couldn't withstand the tragedy of human existence without humor's detoxifying effect, Bruno Walter testifies. Felicitas Hoppe's virtuoso wordplay is as profound as Mahler's humorous 4th Symphony and Dvořák's eerie fairy tale, sparking conversations about gallows humor, love, death, and the sometimes-blurred lines between them.

Die Frau ohne Schatten

Sun, Jan 26, 2025, 17:00
Deutsche Oper Berlin (Berlin)
About the work According to Hugo von Hofmannsthal in a 1911 letter to Richard Strauss, in which he set out his idea for another collaboration between the two men, their next opera would be to THE MAGIC FLUTE what THE KNIGHT OF THE ROSE had been to FIGARO. And the work that premiered a full eight years later did indeed have strong echoes of Mozart’s »grand opéra«: there is the clash of different social classes, the fairytale-like, highly symbolic storyline and above all the strong feeling that ground-breaking change is underway which is challenging accepted orthodoxy and forcing issues of human interaction and values to the top of the political agenda. And in both cases enlightenment is gained only through ordeal and adversity. Here the shadow has a pivotal function as a metaphor for female fertility: the barren Empress and her nurse bargain with the dyer’s wife for her shadow. Only when the Empress rebels against achieving marital happiness and maternal contentment at someone else’s expense does a path to social harmony open up. About the production Tobias Kratzer has chosen this monumental fantasy opera to close his cycle of Strauss works at the Deutsche Oper Berlin. Where ARABELLA explores how hard it can be to even start a relationship based on equal rights and INTERMEZZO depicts what can happen in a marriage that has gone stale, in THE WOMAN WITHOUT A SHADOW Kratzer focuses on the challenge of rekindling a bond that has weakened through years of poor nurturing – an approach that extends far beyond the domestic sphere due to the ethical issues surrounding surrogate motherhood.

OPERNWERKSTATT brings you together with directors, conductors, singers, study directors, dramaturges, theatre creators. Each event starts with a visit to a scenic or musical rehearsal. After a glimpse into the workshop we shall introduce you to the emerging project and answer your questions. So that you can see what moves us.

DAS RHEINGOLD

Fri, Feb 7, 2025, 18:00
Oper Leipzig (Leipzig)
Matthias Foremny (Musical Director), Rosamund Gilmore (Inszenierung), Gewandhausorchester (Orchestra)
"Das Rheingold" sets the stage for Wagner's tetralogy, exploring love versus power. Alberich steals the Rhinegold, Wotan builds Valhalla, and a chain of events unfolds, marked by Alberich's curse and Fafner's fratricide. The Leipzig Opera's 2013 production, conducted by Ulf Schirmer, highlighted the comedic aspects of this shortest "Ring" opera.
