Salome

Sun, Oct 5, 2025, 18:00
Omer Meir Wellber (Musical Director), Wolfgang Ablinger-Sperrhacke (Herodes), Doris Soffel (Herodias), Ambur Braid (Salome), Kyle Ketelsen (Jochanaan), Aebh Kelly (Page), Oleksiy Palchykov (Narraboth), James Kryshak (1. Jude), Colin Aikins (2. Jude), Daniel Kluge (3. Jude), Mziwamadoda Sipho Nodlayiya (4. Jude), Keith Klein (5. Jude), Nicholas Mogg (1. Nazarener), William Desbiens (2. Nazarener), Hubert Kowalczyk (1. Soldat), Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg (Orchestra)
Under the face of the wandering moon, spirit and body quarrel in all their greatness and wretchedness until the blood of two bodies flows. Strauss remains close to Wilde's re-creation of the biblical material, which leads Salome from her mother's tool to autonomy. It is she who, in her unfulfilled desire for the liberatingly different, the body of the prophet Jochanaan, seeks revenge and demands his head - a price the male-dominated society around Herod is willing to pay for their dance. Now that Salome holds his severed head in her hands, she can kiss Jochanaan, possess him if not alive, then dead. As if under a burning glass, Strauss pours Oscar Wilde's demonic dramaturgy into sound like an eruption of the psyche, accompanying his protagonist from her failed escape from the decadence of her existence to her death. Production: Dmitri Tcherniakov Costumes: Elena Zaytseva Lighting: Gleb Filshtinsky Dramaturgy: Tatiana Verestchagina, Janina Zell

Don Pasquale, an older, wealthy man with a desire for a young, modest wife, meets the young couple Ernesto and Norina in Donizetti's opera. The only thing missing for their great love happiness is the blessing of money. Malatesta, a doctor friend, develops a cunning plan so that in the end the perfect intrigue emerges and Don Pasquale becomes the plaything of the young people.

La Fanciulla del West (The Girl of the West)

Fri, Mar 21, 2025, 19:30
Paolo Carignani (Musical Director), Christian Günther (Chorleitung), Anna Pirozzi (Minnie), Claudio Sgura (Jack Rance), Gregory Kunde (Dick Johnson), Andrew Dickinson (Nick), Han Kim (Ashby), Tigran Martirossian (Sonora), Paul Kaufmann (Trin), Nicholas Mogg (Sid), Charles Rice (Bello), Mziwamadoda Sipho Nodlayiya (Harry), Ziad Nehme (Joe), William Desbiens (Happy), Grzegorz Pelutis (Larkens), Mateusz Ługowski (Billy Jackrabbit), Aebh Kelly (Wowkle), David Minseok Kang (Jake Wallace), Keith Klein (Josè Castro), Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg (Orchestra), Chor der Hamburgischen Staatsoper (Chorus)
California in 1850: hundreds of thousands have fallen for the gold rush – and some of them also for the barkeeper Minnie, at whose saloon various fortune seekers meet every evening. Among them is Sheriff Jack Rance. Minnie, however, falls in love with the stranger Dick Johnson. It soon turns out that Johnson is a wanted robber: the sheriff wants to see him hang and have Minnie to himself. A round of poker is to decide about Dick’s life: is there yet another trump up Minnie’s sleeve? Puccini certainly held a trump with his Fanciulla, and even considered the piece his best: after world hits such as La Bohème and Madama Butterfly he had reinvented himself with this “spaghetti western”. In La Fanciulla del West, he combined ragtime rhythms, allusions to gospel singing and the music of the native Americans with Italian melodiousness, resulting in a lushly orchestrated broadband sound. This did not fail to affect the audience at the first performance at New York’s Metropolitan Opera in 1910. And yet, compared to Puccini’s major hits, the piece languished in the shadows for a long time – until the musical gold diggers set out to reclaim it… Director: Vincent Boussard Set Designer: Vincent Lemaire Costume Designer: Christian Lacroix Lighting Designer: Guido Levi Premiere: 01.02.2015

Seeking to test their girlfriends’ fidelity, two men wager that they will remain steadfast. They subject the women to passionate onslaught, and in the end, the fortress of their faithfulness falls. The men, however, involved as they are in the experiment, failed to reckon that they too might betray their partners and feelings. All this cheating, confusing, lying – to others and oneself – is grotesquely comical and simultaneously cruel. One side is inclined not to think about the new situation (Guglielmo and Dorabella), while the others try to comprehend it to the point of exhaustion (Fiordiligi and Ferrando). The final ceremony seeks to cement the social status quo, bringing this new freedom to its knees. The marriage, however, is only for show, and beneath the surface of tradition, the first cracks appear.

It is she who, in her unfulfilled desire for the liberatingly different, the body of the prophet Jochanaan, seeks revenge and demands his head - a price the male-dominated society around Herod is willing to pay for their dance. Now that Salome holds his severed head in her hands, she can kiss Jochanaan, possess him if not alive, then dead. As if under a burning glass, Strauss pours Oscar Wilde's demonic dramaturgy into sound like an eruption of the psyche, accompanying his protagonist from her failed escape from the decadence of her existence to her death.

Ariadne auf Naxos

Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 19:00
Johannes Debus (Musical Director), Wolfram Koch (Theseus), Anja Kampe (Ariadne), Nadezhda Pavlova (Zerbinetta), Jamez McCorkle (Bacchus), Martin Gantner (Musiklehrer), Annika Schlicht (Komponist), Colin Aikins (Ein Offizier), William Desbiens (Perückenmacher), Keith Klein (Betrunkener Gast), Nicholas Mogg (Harlekin), Florian Panzieri (Scaramuccio), 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.

L'elisir d'amore

Sat, Dec 20, 2025, 19:00
Omer Meir Wellber (Musical Director), Alice Meregaglia (Chorus), Juliana Grigoryan (Adina), René Barbera (Nemorino), Nicholas Mogg (Belcore), Erwin Schrott (Dulcamara), Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg (Orchestra), Chor der Hamburgischen Staatsoper (Chorus)
Tristano e Isotta – Tristan and Isolde set an example: Nemorino has the evident idea to boost the feelings of his beloved Adina with a love potion. The charlatan Dulcamara sees his chance for a good deal and sells a bottle of the pretended potion to the unhappy lover. And very soon Nemorino does become unusually popular with the young women in town. Will he be able to sweet-talk Adina as well? Or will she decide in favor of Nemorino’s rival Belcore? Ever since the audience has tasted Gaetano Donizetti‘s “Liebestrank” at the world premiere at Milan in 1832 for the first time, the piece is an indispensable part of the repertoire of opera stages around the world. In the short – and even for him - probably record time of several weeks, Donizetti succeeded in creating a milestone of comic opera. Despite its happy character the music allows deep insight into the protagonists’ inner life. Thus Donizetti created the most famous aria of this opera for Nemorino, who sees his chance to impress Adina, as a showpiece for tenors: “Una furtiva lagrima” is not a cheerful song but a melancholy romance.

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.
