Opera Creation WORKSHOP Opera Creation WORKSHOP BIOGRAPHICAL BOOKLET 2018 June, 29 to July, 7 Opera Creation Workshop The Opera Creation Workshop is open each year to young creators from all disciplines and is a place for refl ection and discussion on artistic opera-related issues. This workshop seeks to defi ne current values of opera and the tasks it will assume in the future. A process of refl ection will take place, focusing equally on opera performance today and on the multidisciplinary aspects that it encompasses. Opera – as a genre, as a cultural off ering and as a cultural practice – is the main subject of these discussions. The dramaturge Klaus Bertisch, who works for the Dutch National Opera & Ballet in Amsterdam amongst other places, will be in charge of leading this workshop. No doubt he will be able to illustrate his ideas with real-life experience from his own career and open up the debate in a constructive manner. This Opera Creation Workshop is an workshop The enoa network, of which the Festival d’Aix and its Académie are founder members, was born from the wish of a number of operatic institutions to work more closely together to support the professional integration of the young artists and to support the development of their artistic ambitions. With the backing of the Creative Europe programme, enoa launched its programme designed for performers and creators, Young Opera Makers. It aims to provide young artists with a fi rst-rate training pathway using contemporary, multidisciplinary approach to opera; to give them experience of performing and of the creative process; and to support the development and dissemination of new operatic works which contribute to diversifying audiences. Thirteen members, over a thousand young artists and some three hundred professionals make up the enoa community.

    #OPERAHARMONY CREATING OPERAS IN ISOLATION 1 3 WELCOME TO #OPERA HARMONY FROM FOUNDER – ELLA MARCHMENT Welcome to #OperaHarmony. #Opera Harmony is a collection of opera makers from across the world who, during this time of crisis, formed an online community to create new operas. I started this initiative when the show that I was rehearsing at Dutch National Opera was cancelled because of the lockdown. Using social media and online platforms I invited colleagues worldwide to join me in the immense technical and logistical challenge of creating new works online. I set the themes of ‘distance’ and ‘community’, organised artist teams, and since March have been overseeing the creation of twenty new operas. All the artists involved in #OperaHarmony are highly skilled professionals who typically apply their talents in creating live theatre performances. Through this project, they have had to adapt to working in a new medium, as well as embracing new technologies and novel ways of creating, producing, and sharing work. #OperaHarmony’s goal was to bring people together in ways that were unimaginable prior to Covid-19. Over 100 artists from all the opera disciplines have collaborated to write, stage, record, and produce the new operas. The pieces encapsulate an incredibly dark period for the arts, and they are a symbol of the unstoppable determination, and community that exists to perform and continue to create operatic works. This has been my saving grace throughout lockdown, and it has given all involved a sense of purpose. When we started building these works we had no idea how they would eventually be realised, and it is with great thanks that we acknowledge the support of Opera Vision in helping to both distribute and disseminate these pieces, and also for establishing a means in which audiences can be invited into the heart of the process too .

    HAYDN RAWSTRON LIMITED Kammersänger EIKE WILM SCHULTE was surrounded by music from the beginning as both parents were passionate choral singers. The young Schulte began serious piano studies aged 7, before a singing career crystalized, a decade later. At the age of 17, Schulte made his preparatory studies for the Cologne Music Conservatorium in Schloss Morsbroich in Leverkusen and in the Salzburg Mozarteum. At the time, the entrance age for the Cologne Conservatorium was 21 and so he required special permission to enter the Conservatorium as a nineteen year old. His studies lasted 4 years, in the final year of which he was engaged by General Manager Grisha Barfuss for a beginner’s company contract with the Deutsche Oper am Rhein, Düsseldorf’s renowned opera company. His first role in Düsseldorf was Sid in Benjamin Britten’s Albert Herring. In the German system, a young singer’s ambition is however to achieve a ‘Fach’-contract, a contract Eike Wilm Schulte guaranteeing him a certain repertoire, with which he can develop his vocal potential. Schulte was offered Baritone such a contract two year later, with the opera company of the city of Bielefeld where, in the following three years, he was given the opportunity to perform almost all the principal roles of a lyric baritone’s standard repertoire, from Papageno to Germont. After a successful audition for the Hessen State Opera Company, he moved from Bielefeld to Wiesbaden where, under the guidance of Musical Directors, Heinz Wallberg and later Siegfried Köhler, he was able to expand his repertoire by a total of 75 additional roles.

Hofer Dr. Viktoria Moench Rainer & Burghilde Neumann Gisela Roer Dres. Angela & Hermann Sommer Zahlreiche Mitglieder des Richard Wagner Verband München e.V. Grußwort S.K.H. Herzog Franz von Bayern Der Richard Wagner Verband München kann im Jahr 2021 auf sein 150jähriges Bestehen zurückblicken. Als Schirmherr des Internationalen Richard Wagner Kongresses im Oktober 2021 möchte ich dem Verein zu seinem runden Jubiläum herzlich gratulieren. Über die Verbindung zwischen Richard Wagner und König Ludwig II. von Bayern ist bereits viel veröffentlicht worden. Zwischen beiden Persönlichkeiten bestand eine enge persönliche, aber auch von einer gemeinsamen schöpferischen Leidenschaft für die Kunst geprägte Be- ziehung. Richard Wagner war 1864 auf Einladung Ludwigs II. nach München gekommen. Nur sieben Jahre später wurde der Deutsche Allgemeine Richard-Wagner-Verein von Emil Heckei im pfälzischen Mannheim gegründet. Dieser Verein, der ein Vorläufer des heutigen Verbandes ist, hatte sich für die Verwirklichung des Bayreuther Festspielhauses eingesetzt, ebenso wie das Ludwig II. als Mäzen Richard Wagners tat. Ludwig II. ordnete in München Uraufführungen und Privataufführungen von Werken des Komponisten an. Dazu gehören die Uraufführung von „Tristan und lsolde“ im Jahr 1865 und der „Meistersinger von Nürnberg“ drei Jahre später. In diesem Sinne ist München eine Wagner-Stadt und so findet der Internationale Richard Wagner Kongress im Jahr 2021 hier statt.

  • Donald Runnicles Leads Cso in Program of Works by Elgar, Strauss, and Britten
    For Immediate Release: Press Contacts: April 29, 2016 Eileen Chambers, 312-294-3092 Photos Available By Request [email protected] DONALD RUNNICLES LEADS CSO IN PROGRAM OF WORKS BY ELGAR, STRAUSS, AND BRITTEN May 5, 7 and 10, 2016 CHICAGO—Conductor Donald Runnicles leads the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO) in concerts on Thursday, May 5, at 8:00 p.m., Saturday, May 7, at 8:00 p.m., and Tuesday, May 10, at 7:30 p.m. The program includes Benjamin Britten’s Sinfonia da requiem, Richard Strauss’ gripping tone poem Death and Transfiguration, and Edward Elgar’s Enigma Variations. Britten’s Sinfonia da requiem, opens the program. Written in 1940 as a commission for the 2600th anniversary celebrations of the Japanese emperor Hirohito’s ruling dynasty, the piece went unused for the occasion due to its notably mournful tone. Britten’s beautifully orchestrated and strikingly powerful work was later premiered by the New York Philharmonic in Carnegie Hall in 1941. The program continues with one of Richard Strauss’ early tone poems, Death and Transfiguration, which traces a man’s journey through the pain of death to his eventual redemption. Concluding the evening’s program is Elgar’s Variations on an Original Theme, Op. 36 (Enigma) which contains 14 charming and witty musical portraits of the composer’s circle of acquaintances and one of Elgar himself. Arguably one of the most popular English classical works of the 20th century, the Enigma Variations was given its U.S. premiere by the CSO in 1902. Internationally renowned conductor Donald Runnicles serves as General Music Director of the Deutsche Oper Berlin, Chief Conductor of BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, and Music Director of the Grand Teton Music Festival, as well as Principal Guest Conductor with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra.
