    Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden Matthias Claudi PR und Marketing T 0351 4911 380 Christian Thielemann, Chefdirigent F 0351 4911 328 [email protected] Myung-Whun Chung, Erster Gastdirigent Herbert Blomstedt, Ehrendirigent Durch Kurfürst Moritz von Sachsen 1548 gegründet, ist die Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden eines der ältesten und traditionsreichsten Orchester der Welt. Seit ihrem Bestehen haben bedeutende Kapellmeister und international geschätzte Instrumentalisten die Geschichte der einstigen Hofkapelle geprägt. Zu ihren Leitern gehörten u. a. Heinrich Schütz, Johann Adolf Hasse, Carl Maria von Weber und Richard Wagner, der das Orchester als seine »Wunderharfe« bezeichnete. Bedeutende Chefdirigenten der letzten 100 Jahre waren Ernst von Schuch, Fritz Reiner, Fritz Busch, Karl Böhm, Joseph Keilberth, Rudolf Kempe, Otmar Suitner, Kurt Sanderling, Herbert Blomstedt und Giuseppe Sinopoli. Ab 2002 standen Bernard Haitink (bis 2004) und Fabio Luisi (2007-2010) an der Spitze des Orchesters. Seit der Saison 2012 / 2013 ist Christian Thielemann Chefdirigent der Sächsischen Staatskapelle. Im Mai 2016 wurde der ehemalige und langjährige Chefdirigent Herbert Blomstedt zum Ehrendirigenten des Orchesters ernannt. Diesen Titel hatte bislang einzig Sir Colin Davis von 1990 bis zu seinem Tod 2013 inne. Myung-Whun Chung trägt seit der Spielzeit 2012 / 2013 den Titel des Ersten Gastdirigenten. Richard Strauss war der Staatskapelle mehr als sechzig Jahre lang freundschaftlich verbunden. Neun seiner Opern, darunter »Salome«, »Elektra« und »Der Rosenkavalier« wurden in Dresden uraufgeführt; seine »Alpensinfonie« widmete er der Staatskapelle. Auch zahlreiche andere berühmte Komponisten schrieben Werke, die von der Staatskapelle uraufgeführt wurden bzw. ihr gewidmet sind. An diese Tradition knüpft das Orchester seit 2007 mit dem Titel »Capell-Compositeur« an.

Please note that this Archive contains Live Links: The Blake Collection click on item titles or pictures to go to the In Memory of Nancy M. Blake Library’s catalog, and click on citations to see full articles.) BELLINI’S NORMA featuring CECILIA BARTOLI This tragic opera is set in Roman-occupied, first-century Gaul, features a title character, who although a Druid priestess, is in many ways a modern woman. Norma has secretly taken the Roman proconsul Pollione as her lover and had two children with him. Political and personal crises arise when the locals turn against the occupiers and Pollione turns to a new paramour. Norma “is a role with emotions ranging from haughty and demanding, to desperately passionate, to vengeful and defiant. And the singer must convey all of this while confronting some of the most vocally challenging music ever composed. And if that weren't intimidating enough for any singer, Norma and its composer have become almost synonymous with the specific and notoriously torturous style of opera known as bel canto — literally, ‘beautiful singing’” (“Love Among the Druids: Bellini's Norma,” NPR World of Opera, May 16, 2008). And Bartoli, one of the greatest living opera divas, is up to the challenges the role brings. (New York Public Radio’s WQXR’s “OperaVore” declared that “Bartoli is Fierce and Mercurial in Bellini's Norma,” Marion Lignana Rosenberg, June 09, 2013.) If you’re already a fan of this opera, you’ve no doubt heard a recording spotlighting the great soprano Maria Callas (and we have such a recording, too), but as the notes with the Bartoli recording point out, “The role of Norma was written for Giuditta Pasta, who sang what today’s listeners would consider to be mezzo-soprano roles,” making Bartoli more appropriate than Callas as Norma.

  • Staatskapelle Dresden
    Staatskapelle Dresden Staatskapelle Dresden Matthias Claudi PR und Marketing Theaterplatz 2 Christian Thielemann, Principal Conductor 01067 Dresden Germany Myung-Whun Chung, Principal Guest Conductor T 0351 4911 380 herberb Blomstedt, Conductor Laureate F 0351 4911 328 [email protected] Founded by Prince Elector Moritz von Sachsen in 1548, the Staatskapelle Dresden is one of the oldest orchestras in the world and steeped in tradition. Over its long history many distinguished conductors and internationally celebrated instrumentalists have left their mark on this onetime court orchestra. Previous directors include Heinrich Schütz, Johann Adolf Hasse, Carl Maria von Weber and Richard Wagner, who called the ensemble his »miraculous harp«. The list of prominent conductors of the last 100 years includes Ernst von Schuch, Fritz Reiner, Fritz Busch, Karl Böhm, Joseph Keilberth, Rudolf Kempe, Otmar Suitner, Kurt Sanderling, Herbert Blomstedt and Giuseppe Sinopoli. The orchestra was directed by Bernard Haitink from 2002-2004 and most recently by Fabio Luisi from 2007-2010. Principal Conductor since the 2012 / 2013 season has been Christian Thielemann. In May 2016 the former Principal Conductor Herbert Blomstedt received the title Conductor Laureate. This title has only been awarded to Sir Colin Davis before, who held it from 1990 until his death in April 2013. Myung-Whun Chung has been Principal Guest Conductor since the 2012 / 2013 season. Richard Strauss and the Staatskapelle were closely linked for more than sixty years. Nine of the composer’s operas were premiered in Dresden, including »Salome«, »Elektra« and »Der Rosenkavalier«, while Strauss’s »Alpine Symphony« was dedicated to the orchestra. Countless other famous composers have written works either dedicated to the orchestra or first performed in Dresden.

I argue that Wagner’s cycle of four operas, Der Ring des Nibelungen (1876), presents colloquial conceptions of time, space, and nature via supernatural, divine characters who often frame the world in terms of non-rational metaphysics. Primary among these minor roles is Erda, the personification of the primordial earth. Erda’s character prophesies the end of the world in Das Rheingold, a prophecy undone later in Siegfried by Erda’s primary interlocutor and chief of the gods, Wotan. I argue that Erda’s role changes in various stage productions of the Ring, and these changes bespeak a shifting attachment between humanity, the earth, and its imagined apocalyptic demise.
