Die Gänsemagd

Sun, Sep 28, 2025, 11:00
opera stabile (Hamburg)
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

Rigoletto

Sat, Mar 15, 2025, 19:30
Hamburgische Staatsoper, Großes Haus (Hamburg)
Henrik Nánási (Musical Director), Piero Pretti (Il Duca di Mantova), Amartuvshin Enkhbat (Rigoletto), Katharina Konradi (Gilda), Grzegorz Pelutis (Il Conte Monterone), Keith Klein (Il Conte di Ceprano), Yeonjoo Katharina Jang (La Contessa di Ceprano), David Minseok Kang (Marullo), Mziwamadoda Sipho Nodlayiya (Borsa), Hubert Kowalczyk (Sparafucile), Jana Kurucová (Maddalena), Katja Pieweck (Giovanna), Yeonjoo Katharina Jang (Il Paggio della Duchessa), William Desbiens (Un Usciere di Corte), Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg (Orchestra), Chor der Hamburgischen Staatsoper (Chorus)
Never one to miss an opportunity to make fun of others, the hunchback jester Rigoletto is employed by the Duke of Mantua. His only joy in life is his daughter Gilda. When Rigoletto must witness how she falls for the calculated vows of love of the unscrupulous Duke, he is out for revenge: he hires the contract killer Sparafucile to murder the seducer. Gilda, however, sacrifices herself for her lover. Rigoletto realises that he has driven his daughter to death and destroyed his own life. Ever since the figure of Rigoletto walked onstage for the first time in Venice in 1851, his fate has moved audiences at opera houses everywhere. Giuseppe Verdi achieved world fame with the opera and its ubiquitous melodies – although it is a piece without heroes: thus Rigoletto, that cynical and lovesick father, joined the broad ranks of Verdi figures who are social outcasts and previously never had a voice in the history of opera. Director: Andreas Homoki Set and Costme Designer: Wolfgang Gussmann Lighting Designer: Manfred Voss Premiere: 16.10.1994

Falstaff

Thu, Oct 2, 2025, 19:30
Hamburgische Staatsoper, Großes Haus (Hamburg)
Valerio Galli (Musical Director), Alice Meregaglia (Chorus), Wolfgang Koch (Falstaff), Andrii Kymach (Ford), Granit Musliu (Fenton), James Kryshak (Dr. Cajus), Daniel Kluge (Bardolfo), Hubert Kowalczyk (Pistola), Elbenita Kajtazi (Alice Ford), Narea Son (Nannetta), Kristina Stanek (Mrs. Quickly), Katja Pieweck (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

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

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.
