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.

La Fanciulla del West (The Girl of the West)

Fri, Mar 21, 2025, 19:30
Hamburgische Staatsoper, Großes Haus (Hamburg)
Paolo Carignani (Musical Director), Christian Günther (Chorleitung), Anna Pirozzi (Minnie), Claudio Sgura (Jack Rance), Gregory Kunde (Dick Johnson), Andrew Dickinson (Nick), Han Kim (Ashby), Tigran Martirossian (Sonora), Paul Kaufmann (Trin), Nicholas Mogg (Sid), Charles Rice (Bello), Mziwamadoda Sipho Nodlayiya (Harry), N. N. (Joe), William Desbiens (Happy), Grzegorz Pelutis (Larkens), Mateusz Ługowski (Billy Jackrabbit), Aebh Kelly (Wowkle), David Minseok Kang (Jake Wallace), N. N. (José Castro), N. N. (Postillon), N. N. (Eine Stimme), Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg (Orchestra), Chor der Hamburgischen Staatsoper (Chorus)
California in 1850: hundreds of thousands have fallen for the gold rush – and some of them also for the barkeeper Minnie, at whose saloon various fortune seekers meet every evening. Among them is Sheriff Jack Rance. Minnie, however, falls in love with the stranger Dick Johnson. It soon turns out that Johnson is a wanted robber: the sheriff wants to see him hang and have Minnie to himself. A round of poker is to decide about Dick’s life: is there yet another trump up Minnie’s sleeve? Puccini certainly held a trump with his Fanciulla, and even considered the piece his best: after world hits such as La Bohème and Madama Butterfly he had reinvented himself with this “spaghetti western”. In La Fanciulla del West, he combined ragtime rhythms, allusions to gospel singing and the music of the native Americans with Italian melodiousness, resulting in a lushly orchestrated broadband sound. This did not fail to affect the audience at the first performance at New York’s Metropolitan Opera in 1910. And yet, compared to Puccini’s major hits, the piece languished in the shadows for a long time – until the musical gold diggers set out to reclaim it… Director: Vincent Boussard Set Designer: Vincent Lemaire Costume Designer: Christian Lacroix Lighting Designer: Guido Levi Premiere: 01.02.2015
