Rigoletto

Sat, Mar 15, 2025, 19:30

Hamburgische Staatsoper, Großes Haus (Hamburg)

Henrik Nánási (Musical Director), Piero Pretti (Il Duca di Mantova), Amartuvshin Enkhbat (Rigoletto), Katharina Konradi (Gilda), Grzegorz Pelutis (Il Conte Monterone), Keith Klein (Il Conte di Ceprano), Aebh Kelly (La Contessa di Ceprano), David Minseok Kang (Marullo), Aaron Godfrey-Mayes (Borsa), Hubert Kowalczyk (Sparafucile), Jana Kurucová (Maddalena), Katja Pieweck (Giovanna), Aebh Kelly (Il Paggio della Duchessa), William Desbiens (Un Usciere di Corte), Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg (Orchestra), Chor der Hamburgischen Staatsoper (Chorus)

Never one to miss an opportunity to make fun of others, the hunchback jester Rigoletto is employed by the Duke of Mantua. His only joy in life is his daughter Gilda. When Rigoletto must witness how she falls for the calculated vows of love of the unscrupulous Duke, he is out for revenge: he hires the contract killer Sparafucile to murder the seducer. Gilda, however, sacrifices herself for her lover. Rigoletto realises that he has driven his daughter to death and destroyed his own life. Ever since the figure of Rigoletto walked onstage for the first time in Venice in 1851, his fate has moved audiences at opera houses everywhere. Giuseppe Verdi achieved world fame with the opera and its ubiquitous melodies – although it is a piece without heroes: thus Rigoletto, that cynical and lovesick father, joined the broad ranks of Verdi figures who are social outcasts and previously never had a voice in the history of opera. Director: Andreas Homoki Set and Costme Designer: Wolfgang Gussmann Lighting Designer: Manfred Voss Premiere: 16.10.1994

La Traviata

Tue, Apr 8, 2025, 19:30

Hamburgische Staatsoper, Großes Haus (Hamburg)

Stefano Ranzani (Musical Director), Christian Günther (Chorleitung), Vera-Lotte Boecker (Violetta Valery), Ida Aldrian (Flora Bervoix), Renate Spingler (Annina), Oleksiy Palchykov (Alfredo Germont), Alexey Markov (Giorgio Germont), Peter Galliard (Gastone), Mateusz Ługowski (Il Barone Douphol), William Desbiens (Il Marchese d'Obigny), Keith Klein (Il Dottore Grenvil), Aaron Godfrey-Mayes (Giuseppe), Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg (Orchestra), Chor der Hamburgischen Staatsoper (Chorus)

Violetta is the most sought-after courtesan of the Parisian demimonde. However, her encounter with Alfredo makes her pleasure-seeking life seem questionable: they fall in love and try to build a life for themselves, far from the fast pleasures of the city. Her past, however, catches up with Violetta. Alfredo’s father persuades her that a separation is the only way to restore his family honour. Alfredo, unaware of the true reasons for her decision, insults Violetta in public. When they are finally reunited, Violetta has run out of time. Giuseppe Verdi was on the lookout for such a provocative, innovative tale when he encountered the novel La Dame aux Camélias by Alexandre Dumas the Younger. In the spring of 1852 he saw the “Lady of the Camellias” as a play adapted by the writer himself at the Vaudeville Theatre in Paris. The impression this made on him strengthened his resolve to use the tale for his next opera; the story gave him an opportunity to reformulate his grand theme: love defeated by the resistance of society.

Le Nozze di Figaro

Fri, Jun 27, 2025, 19:00

Hamburgische Staatsoper, Großes Haus (Hamburg)

Nicholas Carter (Musical Director), Kartal Karagedik (Il Conte d'Almaviva), Olga Peretyatko (La Contessa d'Almaviva), Katharina Konradi (Susanna), Chao Deng (Figaro), Julia Lezhneva (Cherubino), Claire Gascoin (Marcellina), Peter Galliard (Don Basilio), Jürgen Sacher (Don Curzio), Tigran Martirossian (Don Bartolo), Keith Klein (Antonio), Marie Maidowski (Barbarina), Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg (Orchestra), Chor der Hamburgischen Staatsoper (Chorus)

During times of historical upheaval, the victors are filled with euphoric jubilation while fear spreads on the side of the losers. When cheerfulness grips the figures in Mozart’s piece, it is the swan song, full of schadenfreude, of dying structures, ancient privileges and traditional manners – including those between man and woman. Mozart (and Beaumarchais) hold the balance on the threshold between eras – as artists en route to self-marketing, as portraitists of their times, by precisely rendering a society whose balance is shifting, making Almaviva a ridiculous figure. His class is losing political power, and he compensates for this loss by becoming a slave to his sexual desire. The wind is blowing from the past, giving wing to Walter Benjamin’s angel of history. It is a storm for the winners, and for the losers a mere melancholy breeze. The angel sees nothing but ruins.
