Musiktheaterwerkstatt II

Verdi's comic opera "Falstaff" is the focus of directing students. Students regularly explore both famous and lesser-known works, offering their unique perspectives.

Twinkle Concert XL / Somnia – What Do Dreams Sound Like?

Am I dreaming or is this real? In »Somnia«, the music spirits you away to an enchanted world. As in a dream, you sometimes feel threatened. But before you wake up in the middle of a nightmare, Ensemble Resonanz gently brings you back from the edge. The chamber music ensemble plays music from five centuries in this imaginative concert. It is accompanied by two circus performers with a good head for heights, who move skilfully to the music and, together with the musicians, provide a few surprises as well. »Twinkle Concerts« is the series of children’s concerts at the Elbphilharmonie that brings the most successful productions from all over Europe to Hamburg. At times funny and playful, at others thoughtful and reflective, the series introduces children to the world of music in a special and unique way.

WHAT THE FUGUE

The New Piano Trio of the “Pool of Invention” offers an unprecedented new approach to the fugue as the supreme compositional discipline of the Baroque. In “Fuga in Odd”, Florian Willeitner already combined strict counterpoint with Balkan rhythmic fire. He now takes this idea a step further. His newly composed preludes and fugues, which can be heard here, bow to the specific tonal languages of various composers from the past and present. Instead of freezing in awe of his role models, the violinist and composer always seeks a productive exchange with the musical past.

Abon­ne­ment­kon­zert II

Musik der Hoch- und Spätromantik, dazu ein Werk der Gegenwart. Christian Thielemann spannt in seinem ersten Konzert als neuer Generalmusikdirektor den Bogen von Mendelssohn über Schönberg bis zu dem jungen kanadischen Komponisten Samy Moussa, dessen farbenreiches Orchesterstück Elysium unter seiner Leitung 2021 in der Sagrada Familia in Barcelona zur Uraufführung gebracht worden ist. Igor Levit ist der Solist von Mendelssohns 1837 komponiertem 2. Klavierkonzert mit seinen ernsten wie lyrischen Tönen, während Schönbergs zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts nach dem Drama von Maurice Maeterlinck entstandene, opulent besetzte Tondichtung Pelleas und Melisande seine Verwurzelung in der spätromantischen Klang- und Ausdruckswelt demonstriert.

Kam­mer­kon­zert II

For more than six decades, the chamber concerts by musicians from the Staatskapelle have been a constant feature of the Staatsoper programme. This season, ensembles have come together to select music from different periods, styles and cultures under the theme of ‘playing together’. On eleven dates in the Apollosaal, which with its special atmosphere is an ideal venue for chamber music and communicative interaction between players and listeners, works from the Baroque to the present day will be performed in constellations that are both exciting and harmonious, in which tangible contrasts play just as important a role as a common resonance and the balancing of opposites.
