Opéra Fantastique in five acts Libretto by Jules Barbier Based on the play by Jules Barbier and Michel Carré Edited by Michael Kaye and Jean-Christophe Keck The poet E. T. A. Hoffmann as the protagonist of his own fantastic tales: In his encounter with three women - Olympia, Antonia, and Giulietta - he searches in vain for love for love and for himself. Will he draw the strength for art from his failure in life? art from his failures in life? Or will he fail in himself, even in alcohol? Like in a kaleidoscope, ever new constellations and shimmering colors constellations and shimmering colors German romanticism and French esprit. The composer died over the work without the first performance, which took place in a greatly greatly abridged form. Since then the performance history itself has been an exciting crime play, surprising discoveries have made Hoffmann's tales appear again and again in a new in a new and fascinating light.

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

Il trovatore

Thu, Mar 27, 2025, 19:30

Hamburgische Staatsoper, Großes Haus (Hamburg)

Paolo Arrivabeni (Musical Director), Christian Günther (Chorleitung), George Petean (Luna), Marco Berti (Manrico), Olga Peretyatko (Leonora), Kristina Stanek (Azucena), Hubert Kowalczyk (Ferrando), Marie Maidowski (Inez), Aaron Godfrey-Mayes (Ruiz), Chor der Hamburgischen Staatsoper (Chorus), Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg (Orchestra)

For Leonora, the song of the troubadour Manrico holds the promise and glow of love; Manrico's rival Count Luna perceives in it threat and danger. Verdi's opera is a celebration of Italian opera singing at its best - so it is no coincidence that the title character is a singer himself. And yet for the composer, Azucena, Manrico's mother, was the real protagonist. Il trovatore is rich in dramatic intricacies and intense emotions, which Verdi abruptly juxtaposes in images and scenes. Tragedy relentlessly unfolds before our eyes and ears until the truth is revealed in the opera's final seconds. Stage: Alex Eales Costumes: Herbert Murauer Lighting: James Farncombe Video: Philipp Contag-Lada Dramaturgy: Ralf Waldschmidt Chorus: Christian Günther

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.

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. Director: Johannes Erath Stage Designer: Annette Kurz Costume Designer: Herbert Murauer Lighting Designer: Olaf Freese Dramaturgy: Francis Hüsers Premiere: 17.02.2013

Salome

Sat, Jun 7, 2025, 19:30

Hamburgische Staatsoper, Großes Haus (Hamburg)

Alexander Soddy (Musical Director), Peter Hoare (Herodes), Claudia Mahnke (Herodias), Vida Miknevičiūtė (Salome), Christopher Maltman (Jochanaan), Clare Presland (Page), Florian Panzieri (Narraboth), N. N. (1. Jude), Jürgen Sacher (2. Jude), Daniel Kluge (3. Jude), Aaron Godfrey-Mayes (4. Jude), Hubert Kowalczyk (5. Jude), Liam James Karai (1. Nazarener), Nicholas Mogg (2. Nazarener), David Minseok Kang (1. Soldat), Karl Huml (2. Soldat), Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg (Orchestra)

Under the face of the wandering moon, spirit and body quarrel in all their greatness and wretchedness until the blood of two bodies flows. Strauss remains close to Wilde's re-creation of the biblical material, which leads Salome from her mother's tool to autonomy. It is she who, in her unfulfilled desire for the liberatingly different, the body of the prophet Jochanaan, seeks revenge and demands his head - a price the male-dominated society around Herod is willing to pay for their dance. Now that Salome holds his severed head in her hands, she can kiss Jochanaan, possess him if not alive, then dead. As if under a burning glass, Strauss pours Oscar Wilde's demonic dramaturgy into sound like an eruption of the psyche, accompanying his protagonist from her failed escape from the decadence of her existence to her death. Production: Dmitri Tcherniakov Costumes: Elena Zaytseva Lighting: Gleb Filshtinsky Dramaturgy: Tatiana Verestchagina, Janina Zell
