Ariadne auf Naxos

Sun, Jan 26, 2025, 18:00
Hamburgische Staatsoper, Großes Haus (Hamburg)
Dmitri Tcherniakov (Inszenierung), Dmitri Tcherniakov (Bühne), Kent Nagano (Musical Director), Elena Zaytseva (Costume), Gleb Filshtinsky (Licht), Tatiana Werestchagina (Dramaturgie), Michael Sangkuhl (Dramaturgie), Dr. Angela Beuerle (Dramaturgie), Thorsten Cölle (Regieassistenz), Danila Travin (Assistenz Bühnenbild), Wolfram Koch (Haushofmeister), Martin Gantner (Musiklehrer), Ella Taylor (Komponist), Jamez McCorkle (Tenor), Jamez McCorkle (Bacchus), Peter Tantsits (Tanzmeister), Grzegorz Pelutis (Perückenmacher), Hubert Kowalczyk (Ein Lakai), Nadezhda Pavlova (Zerbinetta), Anja Kampe (Primadonna), Anja Kampe (Ariadne), Björn Bürger (Harlekin), Florian Panzieri (Scaramuccio), Stephan Bootz (Truffaldin), Daniel Kluge (Brighella), Olivia Warburton (Najade), Aebh Kelly (Dryade), Marie Maidowski (Echo), Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg (Orchestra)
"It is a simple and tremendous problem of life: that of fidelity", is how Hugo von Hofmannsthal described the core of their third opera together, Ariadne auf Naxos, in a letter to Richard Strauss. To live does not mean to persevere and hold on to what has been lost. If you want to live, you have to let go, forget, get over yourself - constantly transform yourself. This is what a young opera composer experiences in this work when he is confronted with the stubborn wishes of his patron; just like the protagonist of his opera, Ariadne, who, abandoned by her lover, Theseus, expects only death. But things turn out differently... Strauss and Hofmannsthal let the opposites collide: Tragedy and comedy, light music and grand opera, playfulness and seriousness. Thus, in the mirroring of art and life, between gaze and gaze, the unfathomable mystery of transformation takes place. Musical Direction: Kent Nagano Production and stage: Dmitri Tcherniakov Dramaturgy: Angela Beuerle, Michael Sangkuhl

Mitridate, re di Ponto

Sun, Feb 23, 2025, 18:00
Hamburgische Staatsoper, Großes Haus (Hamburg)
Birgit Kajtna-Wönig (Inszenierung), Adam Fischer (Musical Director), Marie-Luise Otto (Bühne), Marie-Luise Otto (Costume), Bernd Gallasch (Licht), Mara Wild (Video), Michael Sangkuhl (Dramaturgie), Robert Murray (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.

Hamburgische Staatsoper, Großes Haus (Hamburg)
Unsuk Chin (Komposition), Kerstin Schüssler-Bach (Mitarbeit Libretto), Dead Centre (Inszenierung), Kent Nagano (Musical Director), Jeremy Herbert (Bühne), Janina Brinkmann (Costume), James Farncombe (Licht), Sophie Lux (Video), Dr. Angela Beuerle (Dramaturgie), Michael Sangkuhl (Dramaturgie), Christian Günther (Chorleitung), Thomas Lehman (Dr. Kieron), Bo Skovhus (Meister Astaroth), Siobhan Stagg (Miriel), Chor der Hamburgischen Staatsoper (Chorus), Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg (Orchestra)
Dr. Kieron is a brilliant scientist, respected and feared by his colleagues. But what nobody suspects is that every night he is haunted in his dreams by three recurring beings, enigmatic numbers and mysterious symbols, which he experiences with unbearably intense feelings. It is from these apparitions that he receives his scientific visions - the fundamental basis of his success. He also leads a double life. A highly respected scientist by day, he dives into the shady underworld at night in a restless search for human happiness. But his control over himself is slipping away. In order to satisfy his irrepressible urge for scientific knowledge and an emotionally fulfilling life, Kieron wants to have his dreams analyzed and enters into an alliance with the diabolical master Astaroth, with fatal consequences. Unsuk Chin drew inspiration for her second opera from the life and work of the legendary physicist Wolfgang Pauli and his relationship with the psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung. Faustian material for the 21st century.

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.
