Richard Strauss Ariadne auf Naxos Richard Strauss Emily Magee Jonas Kaufmann Elena Moşuc Daniel Harding Wiener Philharmoniker Richard Strauss A true festival miracle! Where else could you experience a barely known original version of Ariadne auf Naxos performed to such a Ariadne high artistic standard? This Urfassung is being celebrated here as a homage to the three founding fathers of the festival. It was the wish of Richard Strauss and Hugo von Hofmannsthal that the work, auf Naxos which they dedicated to their artistic friend Max Reinhardt, should be a celebration of the performing arts: ballet, theatre and opera. Version for the Salzburg Festival by Sven-Eric Bechtolf Written immediately after the great success of Der Rosenkavalier, of the Original Version from 1912 Ariadne auf Naxos was a combination of mythological opera and Molière’s drama Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme, though Strauss expunged all trace of the latter in his second version of 1916. To Conductor Daniel Harding mark the centenary of the first version, a sensational project has Orchestra Wiener Philharmoniker created a daring production fulfilling the composer’s original dream of a “Gesamtkunstwerk”. The Primadonna/Ariadne Emily Magee Zerbinetta Elena Moşuc In the beginning, theatre director Sven-Eric Bechtolf presents a The Tenor/Bacchus Jonas Kaufmann virtuoso collage made up of Hofmannsthal’s letters, the play’s text Naiad/A Shepherdess Eva Liebau and insertions of details from Hofmannsthal’s autobiographical Dryad/A Shepherd Marie-Claude Chappuis relationship with the young, inconsolable widow Ottonie von Echo/A Singer Eleonora Buratto Degenfeld-Schonburg. By employing this clever framework, he Harlequin Gabriel Bermúdez introduces two new protagonists into the play as well as transforming Scaramuccio Michael Laurenz them as parallel figures to Bacchus and Ariadne in the opera. The Truffaldino Tobias Kehrer two elements of the work, comedic play and music theatre, which Brighella Martin Mitterrutzner had previously often seemed unconnected, now come together as The Major-Domo Peter Matić a united whole. This new version has been enthusiastically received: Monsieur Jourdain Cornelius Obonya perfect in every detail, every gesture is tailored to the speech flow Hofmannsthal Michael Rotschopf of the play and the music in the opera, the spheres and levels of the Ottonie/Dorine Regina Fritsch work all come together in harmony, offering emotional depth as The Composer Thomas Frank well as wonderfully light-hearted entertainment. Nikoline Stefanie Dvorak Lackey Johannes Lange “The vocals are pure gold”, wrote the Berliner Zeitung. Emily Magee masters the challenge of her complex character’s richly Staged by Sven-Eric Bechtolf nuanced vocal lines, while Elena Moşuc as Zerbinetta produced her coloratura cascades with breathtaking ease, and Jonas Kaufmann Video Director Hannes Rossacher received accolades from the critics for his role debut as the “best Bacchus ever” (Berliner Zeitung).

  • Das Opernglas – November, 2013, Issue Summary
    http://operalively.com/forums/content.php/902-Das-Opernglas-%96-November-2013-Issue-Summary Das Opernglas – November, 2013, Issue Summary by MAuer Published on November 11th, 2013 07:01 PM http://www.opernglas.de/ Interviews Jonas Kaufmann: The Interview In this year of the Wagner and Verdi bicentennials, during which he had new recital albums devoted to each composer released on the market, the superstar tenor talks about the challenges of singing their music – and the uproar over the high C in Manrico’s stretta that surrounded his role debut in Munich this past summer. Kaufmann loves the operas of both Wagner and Verdi, and says he’d never want to have to choose between them. Both musical styles have their advantages, he explains. Verdi’s music is probably more immediately accessible than Wagner’s, which makes the former’s operas better suited as introductory pieces for someone just becoming acquainted with the art form. While Wagner’s operas do have some appealing melodies – he mentions the Ride of the Valkyries – he believes they also require more time for listeners to become accustomed to. However, once that occurs, Wagner’s music can become almost addictive; one is always discovering new layers in it. In contrast, Verdi’s music is not so complex, especially when one views the accompaniment, he says. The melody was more important to Verdi than the density of orchestral sound. However, Kaufmann doesn’t believe this makes Verdi’s music in any way inferior, or that it means his music lacks a certain intellectual appeal. He points out that Verdi enthusiasts are of all ages and economic levels.

  • De Nationale Opera — Nº 94 / 2014
    ODEON een uitgave van DE NATIONALE OPERA — Nº 94 / 2014 GURRE-LIEDER ARNOLD SCHÖNBERG P 6 ORFEO CLAUDIO MONTEVERDI P 14 L’ÉTOILE EMMANUEL CHABRIER P 20 BACK TO BACH HET NATIONALE BALLET P 28 LOHENGRIN RICHARD WAGNER P 32 03 REDACTIONEEL BIJ DE START VAN HET NIEUWE SEIZOEN In het eerste kwartaal van seizoen 2014-2015 brengt De Nationale Opera vier prachtige producties uit. Nieuw zijn Gurre-Lieder (Arnold Schönberg), Orfeo (Claudio Monteverdi) en L’étoile (Emmanuel Chabrier); Lohengrin (Richard Wagner) gaat in reprise. De monumentale Gurre-Lieder beleven in Amsterdam hun scenische wereldpremière in een regie van Pierre Audi. Hoe de grenzen tussen opera en dans op originele en creatieve wijze kunnen worden overschreden, blijkt daarna uit de regie en choreografie die de beroemde Sasha Waltz met haar gezel- schap Sasha Waltz & Guests heeft gemaakt voor Orfeo uit 1607 − volgens velen de eerste ‘echte’ opera. Het komische L’étoile wordt geënsceneerd door Laurent Pelly, die bij ons eerder zeer succesvol was met zijn geestige interpretatie van Prokofjevs L’amour des trois oranges. Pierre Audi’s enscene- ring van Lohengrin oogstte in 2002 grote bewondering, kort- om: hoog tijd voor een herneming! Gurre-Lieder en Lohengrin Drie vocale giganten op één podium worden muzikaal geleid door chef-dirigent Marc Albrecht, Orfeo door Pablo Heras-Casado (DNO-debuut) en L’étoile Nicolas Testé Piotr Beczala Diana Damrau door Patrick Fournillier (eveneens DNO-debuut). De Nationale Opera en Het Nationale Ballet werken steeds hechter samen. Dit zal uiteindelijk ook zijn weerslag vinden in een gezamenlijk magazine. Als voorproefje hebben wij in dit nummer een viertal pagina’s gewijd aan Back to Bach, een bijzondere productie van Het Nationale Ballet.
