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. Director: Stefan Herheim Set Designer: Christof Hetzer Costume Designer: Gesine Völlm Lighting Designer: Phoenix (Andreas Hofer) Video: fettFilm Dramaturgy: Alexander Meier-Dörzenbach Premiere: 15.11.2015
