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), Ruzan Mantashyan (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

Die dunkle Seite des Mondes

Sun, May 18, 2025, 18:00
Hamburgische Staatsoper, Großes Haus (Hamburg)
Unsuk Chin (Komposition), Dead Centre (Inszenierung), Kent Nagano (Musical Director), Jeremy Herbert (Bühne), Janina Brinkmann (Costume), James Farncombe (Licht), Sophie Lux (Video), Dr. Angela Beuerle (Dramaturgie), Christian Günther (Chorleitung), Thomas Lehman (Dr. Kieron), Bo Skovhus (Meister Astaroth), Siobhan Stagg (Miriel), Kangmin Justin Kim (Anima), Narea Son (Das lichte Mädchen), Aaron Godfrey-Mayes (Cornelius), William Desbiens (Dr. Pulski), Karl Huml (Dr. Raubenstock), Jürgen Sacher (Dr. Spinberg), Chor der Hamburgischen Staatsoper (Chorus), Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg (Orchestra)
Dr. Kieron is a brilliant scientist, respected and feared by his colleagues. But what nobody suspects is that every night he is haunted in his dreams by three recurring beings, enigmatic numbers and mysterious symbols, which he experiences with unbearably intense feelings. It is from these apparitions that he receives his scientific visions - the fundamental basis of his success. He also leads a double life. A highly respected scientist by day, he dives into the shady underworld at night in a restless search for human happiness. But his control over himself is slipping away. In order to satisfy his irrepressible urge for scientific knowledge and an emotionally fulfilling life, Kieron wants to have his dreams analyzed and enters into an alliance with the diabolical master Astaroth, with fatal consequences. Unsuk Chin drew inspiration for her second opera from the life and work of the legendary physicist Wolfgang Pauli and his relationship with the psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung. Faustian material for the 21st century. Musical Direction: Kent Nagano Production: Dead Centre Stage: Jeremy Herbert Costumes: Janina Brinkmann Lighting: James Farncombe Video: Sophie Lux Dramaturgy: Angela Beuerle, Michael Sangkuhl Commissioned by the State Opera Hamburg with the support of the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation Opera in two acts and ten pictures Based on a fictional story by the composer, inspired by the relationship between Wolfgang Pauli and Carl Gustav Jung

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), Ziad Nehme (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

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

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.
