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

La Traviata

Tue, Apr 8, 2025, 19:30
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

Parsifal

Fri, Apr 18, 2025, 16:00
Patrick Hahn (Musical Director), Christoph Pohl (Amfortas), Han Kim (Titurel), Kwangchul Youn (Gurnemanz), Benjamin Bruns (Parsifal), Mark Stone (Klingsor), Iréne Theorin (Kundry), Jürgen Sacher (1. Gralsritter), Hubert Kowalczyk (2. Gralsritter), Marie Maidowski (1. Knappe), Aebh Kelly (2. Knappe), Ziad Nehme (3. Knappe), Mziwamadoda Sipho Nodlayiya (4.

Achim Freyer's visually powerful realization of Richard Wagner's stage festival play Parsifal is itself a fascinating synthesis of the arts. The director, stage and costume designer shows us a world of colors and symbols that emerge from the spirit of the music. Wagner's farewell to the world revolves around the central idea of compassion, compassion for other people and for nature. The use of Christian symbols mixed with Buddhist and philosophical ideas is to be understood symbolically. Wagner's last score takes us on a journey into the innermost depths of existence and musically points far into the future. Director, Set-, Costume- and Lightdesign: Achim Freyer Artistic Collaboration: Sebastian Bauer Set Design Collaboration: Moritz Nitsche Costume Design Collaboration: Petra Weikert Light Design Collaboration: Sebastian Alphons Video: Jakob Klaffs/Hugo Reis Dramaturgy: Klaus-Peter Kehr Premiere: 16.9.2017

Philharmonic Chamber Music Recital

Sun, May 11, 2025, 11:00
Elbphilharmonie, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)
Ida Aldrian (Mezzo-Soprano), Iris Icellioglu (Viola), Merlin Schirmer (Cello), Hibiki Oshima (Violin), Felix Heckhausen (Violin), Maria Rallo Muguruza (Viola), Clara Grünwald (Cello)
Richard Strauss’ »Capriccio« seems remote from the world, in the face of the cruelty witnessed in the Second World War. The musical means of the late 19th century are used here in the 20th century to describe the time of the late 18th century. In the string sextet where the action begins, the »rapture« from earth is captured as though in a tableau. Ludwig van Beethoven’s Third String Quartet was also thought to not be of its time, in a very different way. Described as the »patchwork of a madman«, this »crazy« music was met with incomprehension by the public. Beethoven though was deliberately seeking to challenge expectations when he took chamber music out of the living room and into the major concert halls of the day.

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.

This opera is the world in a theatrical nutshell: it deals with growing older, with trials and tribulations, with intransparent decisions. One person searches for individuality, another is too lazy to do so. Others postulate that the community is the only adequate place for the individual. Power has either been legitimised by long tradition or usurped by new regimes. Values such as assimilation and loyalty are set against self-assertiveness and independence. There is loving and dreaming, cheating and trusting. Suicides are prevented, tests passed, adventures survived. Who is right? Who has been wronged? The world of the magic flute is opaque, and everyone is looking for a pathway: within it, into it or out of it. Who holds the reigns? Who can be trusted? Could it be music? Director: Jette Steckel Set Designer: Florian Lösche Costume Designer: Pauline Hüners Dramaturgy: Johannes Blum, Carl Hegemann Video: EINS[23].TV (Alexander Bunge) Lighting Design: Paulus Vogt Premiere: 23.9.2016 Please note that stroboscope effects and partly very bright lights are being used.
