Jahrhunderts bereichert hat – von Volare bis Il canto. Und so war es vollkommen logisch, zutiefst gerecht und eigentlich nicht weiter erstaunlich, dass kein einziger Regentropfen mehr fiel ab dem Mo- ment, an dem ein unerschütterlich italienisch gelaunter Kaufmann die Büh- ne betreten hatte. Zweieinhalb Stunden und sieben Zugaben später verließ er sie, begleitet von Standing Ovations auf den steilen Rängen des steiner- nen Amphitheaters, dessen jubelndes Publikum soeben am eigenen Leib und mitten in Berlin die magischen Kräfte der italianità in all ihren musi- kalischen Formen erfahren hatte. Wo Oper ist – und wo eine Opernstimme ist auf dem auch und vor allem südlich der Alpen angebeteten Niveau eines Jonas Kaufmann – da ist Italien. Woher kamen bloß diese Pfützen, an denen vorbei man den Nachhauseweg antrat, da und dort ein dezent berlinerndes »Vinceròòòòò« in den Nachthimmel entlassend? »Italy is a state of mind« … Zweifellos! Aber es hilft, die richtige Musik zu wählen. the wrath of the weather gods, mysteriously in league with their southerly colleagues? Not at all. First, as we all know, it also rains in Italy. Italians love it, for it gives them an excuse to slip into the costliest of foul-weather outfits. True, AN ITALIAN NIGHT the outfits bear no relation to weather as it actually occurs. But Italians find them far too fashionable and appealing to dispense with them just because their climate is so congenial. Second, a graffiti-strewn wall in a Roman suburb otherwise reminiscent of Cairo claims, with a touch of irony but with admirable aplomb: “Italy is a state of mind.” Italy, a state of mind? An attitude? A mental condition? Actually all three at once. We place our intrinsic trust in this anonymous author. And the walls of Rome are never wrong. Here it was, that notorious “inclement weather”… The very sort of “inclem- The only legitimate question on this particular evening in the Waldbühne ent” no one ever expected in this otherwise sultry July in Berlin. Classical might have been: how do we reach this state of mind? A quick glance at music’s event of the year was scheduled to take place in less than two hours the programme booklet was enough to answer the question. Not only had in Berlin’s unique open-air Waldbühne. But barely had the entrance gates Kaufmann put the romantic, sometimes humorous, often deeply melancholy opened than the heavens opened their own floodgates and rained cats and canzonas of Dolce Vita on his programme. For this special concert he had dogs on the waiting audience. Spectators scurried beneath the few awnings also, and reasonably, added other items from the eras of Italian opera and shelters they managed to find. But many were soaked to the skin, and that produced those canzonas so bounteously and effortlessly. Ponchielli’s the mood here and there may well have been a bit tense. La Gioconda was there, as was Mascagni’s Cavalleria rusticana, and even the It was two years since Jonas Kaufmann’s studio album Dolce Vita, and the unfinished swan song of the Master from Lucca, Puccini’s Turandot.

Had they kindled, with north-European hubris, had bestowed upon 20th-century popular culture, from Volare to Il canto. It was thus only logical, wholly justified and actually unremarkable that not a single raindrop fell from the moment Kaufmann, in unflappable Italian high spirits, stepped onto the stage.

    Saturday, October 6th 2018 REX Movie Theatre of Agios Nikolaos Time 19:55 Admission: 15€ (General) Metropolitan Opera of New York Aida (Guiseppe Verdi) In what should be a highlight of the new season, soprano Anna Netrebko sings her first Met Aida, going toe-to-toe with mezzo-soprano Anita Rachvelishvili as Amneris. Later in the season, a second star-studded cast takes over, with Sondra Radvanovsky and Dolora Zajick as the leading ladies.Tenors Aleksandrs Antonenko and Yonghoon Lee alternate as Radamès, and Nicola Luisotti and Plácido Domingo take the podium for the Met’s monumental production. Synopsis: Aida (Guiseppe Verdi) The libretto indicates merely that the opera takes place in “ancient Egypt, in the time of the pharaohs.” This may sound vague, but it was a clear direction to approach the drama as myth rather than anthropology or history. Act I Egypt, during the reign of the pharaohs. At the royal palace in Memphis, the high priest Ramfis tells the warrior Radamès that Ethiopia is preparing another attack against Egypt. Radamès hopes to command his army. He is in love with Aida, the Ethiopian slave of Princess Amneris, the king’s daughter, and he believes that victory in the war would enable him to free her and marry her. But Amneris loves Radamès, and when the three meet, she jealously senses his feelings for Aida. A messenger tells the king of Egypt and the assembled priests and soldiers that the Ethiopians are advancing. The king names Radamès to lead the army, and all join in a patriotic anthem.
