PREMIERE - WHO WILL SAVE US FROM THE DESPOTS? A LUDICROUS SATIRE ON THE STATE OF THE PRESENT: OF GIANT MONSTERS AND POLITICAL TYRANTS A new work on the pulse of time! The music world has been waiting a long time for this: After their legendary works Bählamms Fest and Lost Highway, more than twenty years have passed since the composer Olga Neuwirth and the writer Elfriede Jelinek dedicated themselves to a joint piece of music theater. The two internationally acclaimed exceptional artists - Jelinek received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2004 and Neuwirth the Ernst von Siemens Music Prize in 2022 - have written Monster's Paradise, a commissioned work for the Hamburg State Opera. As avatars of themselves, they send two “vampireettes” on a journey around the world. They observe the decline of humanity while a tyrannical king and a sea monster he has conjured up himself fight for power. All hope rests on him: the great Gorgonzilla. But what kind of world is it that can only be saved by monsters? The supposedly ludicrous and absurd has the potential to sharpen our view of our reality. History repeats itself. Monster's Paradise is both a tragedy and a satyr play. Tobias Kratzer, artistic director of the Hamburg State Opera, directs the brand new political grotesque, a contemporary Grand Guignol.

John Luther Adams: Become Ocean

Sat, May 10, 2025, 20:00

Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)

Basel Sinfonietta, Andreas Haefliger (Piano), Titus Engel (Conductor)

»Life on our planet developed in water. If the polar ice caps melt and the sea level rises, it will end up in the water again.« Based on this simple yet harrowing prediction about the future of humanity, Alaskan composer and environmental activist John Luther Adams wrote his opulent orchestral piece »Become Ocean«, which won a Pulitzer Prize and a Grammy. Hardly any other work could be better suited to the motto of the Hamburg International Music Festival – »Future«. It will be performed by one of the best orchestras for new music, the Basel Sinfonietta under its chief conductor Titus Engel. It is preceded by one of the most rousing piano concertos of the 21st century, premiered at the 2019 London Proms. The Swiss composer Dieter Ammann once again proves himself to be an accomplished composer who is just as happy incorporating influences from his past in funk and jazz bands as he is elements from early modern music. At the piano: Andreas Haeflinger, whose first performance of the work in Boston in 2019 was hailed as an »elemental event« – both here and at a subsequent performance in Lucerne.
