La Fanciulla del West (The Girl of the West)

Fri, Mar 21, 2025, 19:30
Hamburgische Staatsoper, Großes Haus (Hamburg)
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

Hamburgische Staatsoper, Großes Haus (Hamburg)

Gralsritter), Hubert Kowalczyk (2. Gralsritter), Marie Maidowski (1. Knappe), Aebh Kelly (2. Knappe), Ziad Nehme (3. Knappe), Mziwamadoda Sipho Nodlayiya (4.

Achim Freyer's visually powerful realization of Richard Wagner's stage festival play Parsifal is itself a fascinating synthesis of the arts. The director, stage and costume designer shows us a world of colors and symbols that emerge from the spirit of the music. Wagner's farewell to the world revolves around the central idea of compassion, compassion for other people and for nature. The use of Christian symbols mixed with Buddhist and philosophical ideas is to be understood symbolically. Wagner's last score takes us on a journey into the innermost depths of existence and musically points far into the future. Director, Set-, Costume- and Lightdesign: Achim Freyer Artistic Collaboration: Sebastian Bauer Set Design Collaboration: Moritz Nitsche Costume Design Collaboration: Petra Weikert Light Design Collaboration: Sebastian Alphons Video: Jakob Klaffs/Hugo Reis Dramaturgy: Klaus-Peter Kehr Premiere: 16.9.2017

Salome

Sat, Jun 7, 2025, 19:30
Hamburgische Staatsoper, Großes Haus (Hamburg)
Alexander Soddy (Musical Director), Peter Hoare (Herodes), Claudia Mahnke (Herodias), Vida Miknevičiūtė (Salome), Christopher Maltman (Jochanaan), Clare Presland (Page), Florian Panzieri (Narraboth), Ziad Nehme (1. Jude), Jürgen Sacher (2. Jude), Daniel Kluge (3. Jude), Aaron Godfrey-Mayes (4. Jude), Hubert Kowalczyk (5. Jude), Liam James Karai (1. Nazarener), Nicholas Mogg (2. Nazarener), David Minseok Kang (1. Soldat), Karl Huml (2. 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
