Das Paradies und die Peri

Sat, Sep 27, 2025, 20:00

Hamburgische Staatsoper, Großes Haus (Hamburg)

Omer Meir Wellber (Musical Director), Alice Meregaglia (Chorleitung), Vera-Lotte Boecker (Peri), Eliza Boom (Soprano), Eliza Boom (Jungfrau), Kady Evanyshyn (Mezzo-Soprano), Annika Schlicht (Alt), Kai Kluge (Tenor), Eric Lunga Hallam (Jüngling), Christoph Pohl (Gazna), Christoph Pohl (Mann), Xavier Sabata (Engel), Chor der Hamburgischen Staatsoper (Chorus), Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg (Orchestra)

“WELCOME TO US! GREET US!” - HOW ART AND WE OURSELVES COULD FIND A ROLE IN OUR CRISIS-RIDDEN WORLD The Peri - an angelic mythical creature. Fallen from paradise and thrown into the world, she is denied a return to heaven. It takes three attempts before the gates open for her again: It takes more than the drop of blood of a young man, martyred in war, and the last sigh of a girl who died because she did not want to leave her lover, who was sick with the plague, alone. Only the last gift, the tear of an old man who bitterly regrets his own life's sins at the sight of a child, will enable Peri to enter the kingdom of heaven. Robert Schumann's secular oratorio Paradise and the Peri is based on the oriental epic poem by the Irish poet Thomas Moore. In Hamburg, the Persian myth narrative becomes a panopticon of the very recent past. The narrative thread of our present day strings together global crises like pearls on a necklace: pandemic, war, climate change. The world is under threat. Art, which often tells of moments of redemption, cannot save us, but it does bring with it the possibility of insight. And empathy. Paradise and the Peri opens the artistic direction of Tobias Kratzer, who welcomes the Hamburg audience with this great choral work: “Welcome to us!” The evening is not an opera, but it reflects what musical theater can be. And where it reaches its limits. Musical direction: Omer Meir Wellber, Felix Hornbachner (17.10.) Production: Tobias Kratzer Stage and costumes: Rainer Sellmaier Video: Manuel Braun Lighting: Michael Bauer Choir: Alice Meregaglia Dramaturgy: Christopher Warmuth Secular oratorio in three parts (1843) Libretto: Emil Flechsig, after the poem Lalla Rookh by Thomas Moore

Falstaff

Thu, Apr 3, 2025, 19:30

Hamburgische Staatsoper, Großes Haus (Hamburg)

Finnegan Downie Dear (Musical Director), Christian Günther (Chorleitung), Christopher Purves (Falstaff), Simon Keenlyside (Ford), Seungwoo Simon Yang (Fenton), Jürgen Sacher (Dr. Cajus), Daniel Kluge (Bardolfo), Tigran Martirossian (Pistola), Danielle de Niese (Alice Ford), Olivia Warburton (Nannetta), Anna Kissjudit (Mrs. Quickly), Kady Evanyshyn (Meg Page), Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg (Orchestra), Chor der Hamburgischen Staatsoper (Chorus)

Sir John Falstaff is an anarchist who obeys only the reign of his own enjoyment, an egoist who feeds only his power-hunger and his own flesh, and who would prefer to raze the small-minded morals of his contemporaries like the walls of a fortress – by seducing two women at the same time. Needless to say, his plan is thwarted, but those trying to expose him also fail to emerge unruffled from the confusion they unleash around him – which only the audience can keep track of, barely. “Tutto nel mondo è burla,” but these jokes are only funny because falling into the abyss actually does pose quite a serious risk. Arrigo Boito, the librettist of “Otello”, distilled a sophisticated, ingenious libretto from Shakespeare’s original, driving Verdi to highly complex compositional heights. Director: Calixto Bieito Set Designer: Susanne Gschwender Costume Designer: Anja Rabes Dramaturgy: Bettina Auer Lighting Designer: Michael Bauer Premiere: January 19th 2020

Mitridate, re di Ponto

Sat, Jun 21, 2025, 19:30

Hamburgische Staatsoper, Großes Haus (Hamburg)

Birgit Kajtna-Wönig (Inszenierung), N. N. (Musical Director), Marie-Luise Otto (Bühne), Marie-Luise Otto (Costume), Bernd Gallasch (Licht), Mara Wild (Video), Michael Sangkuhl (Dramaturgie), Rainer Wolke (Kampfchoroegrafie), Anthony Gregory (Mitridate), Nikola Hillebrand (Aspasia), Olivia Boen (Sifare), Adriana Bignagni Lesca (Farnace), Kady Evanyshyn (Ismene), Seungwoo Simon Yang (Marzio), Peter Galliard (Arbate), Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg (Orchestra)

What happens when, in times of war and destruction, even your own family becomes a battlefield and mistrust, desire and betrayal break out? The cruel, ingenious and at the same time megalomaniac King of Pontus, Mitridate, fights a hopeless war against the Romans, while his two sons are under pressure from their father and his fiancée Aspasia decides against her duty and in favor of her feelings and turns away from him. With Mitridate, the 14-year-old Mozart composed his first full-length opera seria according to all the rules of the time and at the same time a work in which his humanistic flair already shines through. In the arias, he gives the ensemble of singers ample opportunity to explore the depths of the human soul and display their vocal virtuosity. Preserving the essence of this historical operatic genre, but at the same time reinterpreting its form, the aim is to create something in which the orchestra is integrated both visually and in terms of content. In this way, the fate of the characters can be experienced directly through visible music-making. Musical Direction: Adam Fischer Production: Birgit Kajtna-Wönig Stage and costumes: Marie-Luise Otto Lighting: Bernd Gallasch Video: Mara Wild Mara Wild Dramaturgy: Michael Sangkuhl Fight choreography: Rainer Wolke Opera seria in three acts (1770) Text by Vittorio Amedeo Cigna-Santi after Jean Racine

Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute)

Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 16:30

Hamburgische Staatsoper, Großes Haus (Hamburg)

Keren Kagarlitsky (Musical Director), Christian Günther (Chorus), Hubert Kowalczyk (Sarastro), Liv Redpath (Pamina), Chao Deng (Speaker), Mziwamadoda Sipho Nodlayiya (Priester), Aleksandra Olczyk (Königin der Nacht), Narea Son (Erste Dame), Kady Evanyshyn (Zweite Dame), Michal Doron (Dritte Dame), Andrew Hamilton (Papageno), Peter Galliard (Monostatos), Marie Maidowski (Papagena), Jürgen Sacher (Erster Geharnischter), Keith Klein (Zweiter Geharnischter), Alsterspatzen – Kinder- und Jugendchor der Hamburgischen Staatsoper (Drei Knaben), Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg (Orchestra), Chor der Hamburgischen Staatsoper (Chorus)

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.

Hänsel und Gretel (Hansel and Gretel)

Sun, Nov 30, 2025, 18:00

Hamburgische Staatsoper, Großes Haus (Hamburg)

Killian Farrell (Musical Director), Chao Deng (Peter), Katja Pieweck (Gertrud), Kady Evanyshyn (Hänsel), Eliza Boom (Gretel), Jürgen Sacher (Knusperhexe), Elizaveta Kulagina (Sandmännchen), Marie Maidowski (Taumännchen), Alsterspatzen – Kinder- und Jugendchor der Hamburgischen Staatsoper (Childrens’ choir), Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg (Orchestra)

“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

Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute)

Wed, Dec 3, 2025, 19:30

Hamburgische Staatsoper, Großes Haus (Hamburg)

Keren Kagarlitsky (Musical Director), Christian Günther (Chorus), Hubert Kowalczyk (Sarastro), Eliza Boom (Pamina), Chao Deng (Speaker), Mziwamadoda Sipho Nodlayiya (Priester), Aleksandra Olczyk (Königin der Nacht), Narea Son (Erste Dame), Kady Evanyshyn (Zweite Dame), Michal Doron (Dritte Dame), Andrew Hamilton (Papageno), Daniel Kluge (Monostatos), Marie Maidowski (Papagena), Jürgen Sacher (Erster Geharnischter), Keith Klein (Zweiter Geharnischter), Alsterspatzen – Kinder- und Jugendchor der Hamburgischen Staatsoper (Drei Knaben), Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg (Orchestra), Chor der Hamburgischen Staatsoper (Chorus)

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.

CHRISTOPH MARTHALER MEETS GUSTAV MAHLER - TWO GRAND MASTERS RETURN TO THE STAATSOPER HAMBURG Gustav Mahler - star conductor, visionary composer, Hamburg resident by choice. And also: a restless artist who struggled with himself, a “restless one”, as his wife and Viennese icon Alma characterized him. A panorama of human experience unfolds in his music - always oscillating between joie de vivre and dance of death. To mark its 350th anniversary year, the Hamburg State Opera is dedicating special projects to the works of its creative former general music directors and artistic directors and is celebrating the most famous of them at the start of this series. The director Christoph Marthaler, known for his unconventional and playful scenic collages, approaches Mahler's oeuvre in an unusual evening of music theater. This artistic encounter explores the nuances of the composer's songs and instrumental music, interpreted in experimental arrangements by an ensemble of singers, actors and musicians. Following his acclaimed Lulu from 2017, Marthaler now brings this production close to the audience - as an intense chamber play in the opera stabile. Musical direction and arrangement: Johannes Harneit Production: Christoph Marthaler Stage: Duri Bischoff Costumes: Sara Kittelmann Dramaturgy: Malte Ubenauf, Judith Wiemers An evening at low volume Music theater by Christoph Marthaler with compositions by Gustav Mahler
