Handel: Solomon

Thu, May 15, 2025, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
NDR Vokalensemble, FestspielOrchester Göttingen, Lena Sutor-Wernich (Mezzo-Soprano), James Way (Tenor), Isaak Lee (Tenor), Armin Kolarczyk (Bariton), Francesca Lombardi Mazzulli (Soprano), Carlotta Colombo (Soprano), George Petrou (Director)
Even before George Frideric Handel began his oratorio »Solomon«, he apparently knew that he would have more musicians than usual at his disposal for the premiere. And so Handel took every liberty in his composition, writing for a large wind section, additional strings and powerful double choirs. The subject is made for legendary (sonic) richness: Handel places the biblical King Solomon at the centre of the action and thus the most important stages in the life of the wise ruler – the first act opens with grandiose choruses of joy at the building of the temple in Jerusalem. The second act is full of drama, in which King Solomon has to decide between two women who are fighting over a child. In a touching aria, the composer reveals the real mother’s renounced love. And in the finale, none other than the Queen of Sheba appears to philosophise with King Solomon about the power of music.

Alban Berg: Wozzeck

Fri, May 23, 2025, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester, NDR Vokalensemble, Hamburger Alsterspatzen, Matthias Goerne (Wozzeck), Michael Weinius (Dram Major), Martin Mitterrutzner (Tenor), Peter Hoare (Captain), Falk Struckmann (Doctor), Christine Goerke (Marie), Stefanie Irányi (Mezzo-Soprano), Isaak Lee (Tenor), Fabian Kuhnen (Bass), Andreas Heinemeyer (Bariton), Dávid Csizmár (Bariton), Alan Gilbert (Conductor), Romain Gilbert (Scenic installation)
As part of the Hamburg International Music Festival, the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra devotes itself to an epoch-making opera under the direction of its principal conductor Alan Gilbert: Alban Berg’s »Wozzeck«. With its sensitive and completely honest portrait of a society undermined by militarism and the abysses into which it thrusts people, the opera became one of the greatest achievements of the Weimar Republic – an achievement which continues unabated to this day. In the band of opera stars, who embody the characters in this harrowing drama, one stands out in particular: Matthias Goerne in the title role of a young soldier on the verge of insanity. Started immediately before the outbreak of the First World War, Alban Berg only found the necessary peace to complete his first opera after his military service in the Austrian army. Against the backdrop of the war years, Berg felt all the closer to his protagonist and the opera ultimately became a sounding memorial against militarism and its social impacts. A whole series of productions in opera houses in the German-speaking region soon followed the potentially scandalous Berlin premiere in 1925 – until the piece was banned by the Nazi regime as »degenerate art«. However, this could not stop the global success of this opera.
