Die Gänsemagd

Sun, Sep 28, 2025, 11:00
Claudia Chan (Musical Director), Ida Aldrian (Prinzessin), Katja Pieweck (Ihre Mutter), Katja Pieweck (Die Königin), Hellen Kwon (Kammerjungfrau), Tigran Martirossian (König), Peter Galliard (Schlächter), Aebh Kelly (Der Gänsehüter), Aebh Kelly (Kürdchen), Carlo Silvester Duer (Falada), Carlo Silvester Duer (Das Pferd), Carlo Silvester Duer (Prinz), Musiker:innen des Philharmonischen Staatsorchesters Hamburg (Orchestra)
Iris ter Schiphorst's opera for children was premiered in Vienna in 2010. Together with her librettist Helga Utz, the Hamburg-born composer created a touching and captivatingly imaginative work of music theater from the Grimm fairy tale. A princess, accompanied by her maid, sets off from the protection of her parental home to meet her bridegroom. Despite a difficult journey and numerous obstacles, everything turns out well in the end and she is able to marry her prince. Tobias Kratzer is staging Die Gänsemagd as part of the opening of the opera stabile's artistic direction and season one day after Das Paradies und die Peri, the opening production on the main stage. Musical theater for the youngest generations is not a niche product for him, but a top priority. Here, young audiences experience it at close quarters: As a flock of geese, the children become part of the action, immersing themselves in the story together with the musicians and ensemble singers - opera as a lively, accessible art form full of enchanting melodies that shows how valuable resilience, self-confidence and trust in others are on the journey through life. Musical direction: Claudia Chan Production: Tobias Kratzer Co-director: Matthias Piro Stage and costumes: Rainer Sellmaier Dramaturgy: Michelle Stoop Opera for children (2009) Libretto: Helga Utz based on the fairy tale of the same name by the Brothers Grimm

“Don‘t you know the horrible dark place, don’t you know the evil one lives there?” Hastily, their parents set out for the woods to save Hansel and Gretel from the witch Rosina Leckermaul. As they feared, the children have got lost in the woods and found the gingerbread house. They cannot resist the sweet temptation – and fall straight into the trap of the witch, who likes children so much she could eat them up… literally. As in most tales of the Brothers Grimm, in Engelbert Humperdinck’s setting of the fairytale all ends well: until that point, however, Humperdinck’s romantic music accompanies the children deep into the dark forest of legend. Here it invokes magical beings, calls on 14 angels to protect the siblings and allows the witch to ride her broomstick through the air. Today, Humperdinck’s classic, premiered in Weimar in 1893, is as much a part of Christmastime as gingerbread and tree decorations – and has invited young audiences and those young at heart all over the world into its fairytale world ever since. Director: Peter Beauvais Set Designer: Jan Schlubach Costume Designer: Barbara Bilabel / Susanne Raschig Premiere: 06.12.1972

Anja Bihlmaier (Musical Director), Violeta Urmana (Klytämnestra), Aušriné Stundyté (Elektra), Jennifer Holloway (Chrysothemis), Wolfgang Ablinger-Sperrhacke (Aegisth), Chao Deng (Pfleger des Orest), Marie Maidowski (Schleppträgerin), Oleksiy Palchykov (Junger Diener), William Desbiens (Alter Diener), Katja Pieweck (Aufseherin), Michal Doron (Erste Magd), Ida Aldrian (Zweite Magd), Kady Evanyshyn (Dritte Magd), Eliza Boom (Vierte Magd), Hellen Kwon (Fünfte Magd), Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg (Orchestra)
The war is over, and tragedy takes its course: the mother and her lover murder the father upon his return. The daughter hides her brother, keeping him safe. – Every day, Elektra thinks of her murdered father, plotting blood-stained celebrations of victory and waiting for the moment when her brother, reared as an avenger, returns. Under one roof with her father’s murderers, thirst for blood and revenge collide with the future plans of her younger sister, who longs for marriage and children, a life in harmony and bliss. The mother is governed by another delusion: “It is not a word, it is not pain, it does not pinch me or strangle me, … and yet it is so terrible that my soul wishes it had been hanged, and every part of my body cries out for death.” Sacrifice is meant to bring relief.

Il barbiere di Siviglia

Sun, May 17, 2026, 19:00
Teresa Riveiro Böhm (Musical Director), Alice Meregaglia (Chorleitung), Jonah Hoskins (Conte Almaviva), Johannes Martin Kränzle (Don Bartolo), Raffaella Lupinacci (Rosina), Mattia Olivieri (Figaro), Ilia Kazakov (Don Basilio), Hellen Kwon (Berta), William Desbiens (Fiorello), Chor der Hamburgischen Staatsoper (Chorus), Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg (Orchestra)
COMEDY, CRISES AND COLORATURA IN A MASTERPIECE FOR ALL TIMES How do I become what I am not? Since its premiere in 1816, Gioachino Rossini's masterpiece Il barbiere di Siviglia has proven itself to be a timeless comedy in which every generation can be reflected anew. In the midst of the competition for a woman, the opera explores how its characters repeatedly stumble in their pursuit of success and recognition - an analysis that is served up as a musical treat and whose punchlines also strike a chord with today's meritocracy. The longing for an optimized self drives Count Almaviva first and foremost. He and his accomplice Figaro rely on one thing above all else to conquer Rosina's heart and to undermine her guardian Bartolo as a rival. Set to Rossini's effervescent music, the protagonists become entangled in a web of relationships in which status is fought for and love is vied for. Between appearance and reality, director Tatjana Gürbaca searches for the melancholy undertones of the comedy. For behind many a masquerade lies the desire to escape one's own role, behind many a showy vocal acrobatics the fear of missing out on life. Can there ever be a winner in the pursuit of happiness? Musical direction: Teresa Riveiro Böhm Production: Tatjana Gürbaca Stage and lighting: Klaus Grünberg Costumes: Barbara Drosihn Chorus: Alice Meregaglia Dramaturgy: Judith Wiemers Melodramma buffo in two acts (1816) Libretto: Cesare Sterbini after the comedy Le Barbier de Séville ou La précaution inutile by Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais
