Bieito’s continued association with the company shows ENO’s commitment to highly theatrical and new interpretations of core repertoire. Following the success of his Carmen at ENO in 2012, described by The Guardian as ‘a cogent, gripping piece of work’, Bieito’s production of Fidelio comes to the London Coliseum after its 2010 premiere in Munich. Working with designer Rebecca Ringst, Bieito presents a vast Escher-like labyrinth set, symbolising the powerfully claustrophobic nature of the opera. Edward Gardner, ENO’s highly acclaimed Music Director, 2013 Olivier Award-nominee and recipient of an OBE for services to music, conducts an outstanding cast led by Stuart Skelton singing Florestan and Emma Bell as Leonore. Since his definitive performance of Peter Grimes at ENO, Skelton is now recognised as one of the finest heldentenors of his generation, appearing at the world’s major opera houses, including the Metropolitan Opera, New York, and Opéra National de Paris.

  • Fascinace Wagnerem TZ Aj.Indd
    PRESS RELEASE opera Mgr. SILVIA HRONCOVÁ Director of Opera Faszination Wagner, a remarkable project combining opera and film, will receive its world premiere in Prague. Andreas Schager, one of the most acclaimed contemporary Heldentenors, will perform at the Forum Karlín. Prague, 4 October 2018 On 25 October, the National Theatre in Prague will host the world premiere of the unique Faszination Wagner project. Following the first night, at the Forum Karlín, it will be presented in other cities in Europe. The project, encompassing an opera performance and screening of a film, specially created for this occasion, may even be referred to as revolutionary. The evening features selected highlights from Richard Wagner’s operas, which will be performed by the State Opera Orchestra, conducted by Matthias Fletzberger, and the stellar singer Andreas Schager, one of the most acclaimed contemporary Heldentenors. The State Opera Orchestra, which is participating in a project of this kind for the very first time, will be led by the Austrian pianist and conductor Matthias Fletzberger, who said: “Wagner’s visions transcended the limits of music. His aim was to create a universal, comprehensive artwork, which would employ all the senses at the same time. Transformation of the content of live music to the form of film within the concert affords Wagner’s work a new dimension.” Along with Andreas Schager, his wife, the world-renowned violinist Lidia Baich, will appear as a soloist. The entire concept of the project, including the film, was created by the German stage and film director, screenwriter and musicologist of Turkish descent Selcuk Cara, who started his artistic career as an opera singer.

  • A Culture of Recording: Christopher Raeburn and the Decca Record Company
    A Culture of Recording: Christopher Raeburn and the Decca Record Company Sally Elizabeth Drew A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Arts and Humanities Department of Music This work was supported by the Arts & Humanities Research Council September 2018 1 2 Abstract This thesis examines the working culture of the Decca Record Company, and how group interaction and individual agency have made an impact on the production of music recordings. Founded in London in 1929, Decca built a global reputation as a pioneer of sound recording with access to the world’s leading musicians. With its roots in manufacturing and experimental wartime engineering, the company developed a peerless classical music catalogue that showcased technological innovation alongside artistic accomplishment. This investigation focuses specifically on the contribution of the recording producer at Decca in creating this legacy, as can be illustrated by the career of Christopher Raeburn, the company’s most prolific producer and specialist in opera and vocal repertoire. It is the first study to examine Raeburn’s archive, and is supported with unpublished memoirs, private papers and recorded interviews with colleagues, collaborators and artists. Using these sources, the thesis considers the history and functions of the staff producer within Decca’s wider operational structure in parallel with the personal aspirations of the individual in exerting control, choice and authority on the process and product of recording. Having been recruited to Decca by John Culshaw in 1957, Raeburn’s fifty-year career spanned seminal moments of the company’s artistic and commercial lifecycle: from assisting in exploiting the dramatic potential of stereo technology in Culshaw’s Ring during the 1960s to his serving as audio producer for the 1990 The Three Tenors Concert international phenomenon.

    Premiere TRISTAN UND ISOLDE Story in three acts by Richard Wagner Libretto by the composer based on the narrative poem Tristan (c. 1210) by Gottfried von Straßburg Sung in German with German and English surtitles Conductor: Sebastian Weigle Director: Katharina Thoma Set Designer: Johannes Leiacker Costume Designer: Irina Bartels Lighting Designer: Olaf Winter Chorus Master: Tilman Michael Dramaturge: Mareike Wink Tristan: Vincent Wolfsteiner Isolde: Rachel Nicholls King Marke: Andreas Bauer Kanabas / Falk Struckmann (June, July 2020) Brangäne: Claudia Mahnke / Tanja Ariane Baumgartner (June, July 2020) Kurwenal: Christoph Pohl / Simon Bailey (June, July 2020) Melot: Iain MacNeil A Shepherd: Tianji Lin Helmsman: Liviu Holender A Young Sailor’s Voice: Michael Porter / Michael Petruccelli (February 14th, 23rd 2020) Oper Frankfurt’s Male Chorus; Frankfurter Opern- und Museumsorchester Tristan und Isolde is regarded as one of the best operas written by Richard Wagner (1813-1883) and an enormous milestone in music. The way his „Tristan chord“ resolves towards the end of the work during Isolde’s „Liebestod“ was unthinkable in those days. The composer was well aware how difficult it would be to stage this three act work: „Only mediocre productions might save me“, he wrote to Mathilde Wesendonck. The World Premiere on June 10th 1865 in the National Theatre in Munich, at the command of King Ludwig II, was a great success. The last production of Tristan in Frankfurt opened in 2003, directed by Christof Nel. The story: Although Tristan killed Isolde’s betrothed in battle, the Irish princess nursed the wounded knight back to health, incapable of carrying out her revenge.
