BAM Launches the 2007 Spring Season with the U.S. Premiere Of BAM launches the 2007 Spring Season with the U.S. premiere of The Hamburg Ballet’s Death in Venice—an adaptation of Thomas Mann’s classic novella, created by renowned choreographer John Neumeier. BAM 2007 Spring Season is sponsored by Bloomberg Death in Venice A Dance of Death by John Neumeier A free adaptation of the novella by Thomas Mann The Hamburg Ballet Music by Johann Sebastian Bach and Richard Wagner Choreography and staging by John Neumeier Scenic design by Peter Schmidt Costume design by John Neumeier and Peter Schmidt Lighting concept by John Neumeier Piano by Elizabeth Cooper BAM Howard Gilman Opera House (30 Lafayette Ave) Feb 7–10 at 7:30pm Tickets $20, 40, 60, 70 BAMdialogue with John Neumeier Feb 8 at 6pm, BAM Rose Cinemas Tickets $8 ($4 friends of BAM) “The danced description of von Aschenbach’s dilemmas, poet or choreographer, added beautifully to my understanding of the literary work. I was spellbound.” – Dancing Times Brooklyn, NY/January 5, 2007—The Hamburg Ballet and John Neumeier return to BAM for the first time in more than 20 years with an inventive take on Thomas Mann’s classic novella, Death in Venice —a story of passion, loss of dignity, and ultimately death. While Mann conceived his protagonist as a poet, Neumeier re-imagines the aging Gustav von Aschenbach as a successful and honored choreographer, totally immersed in his work. Two male dancers serve as symbols of Ashcenbach’s latent sensuality. Experiencing a professional crisis, the famous choreographer visits Venice where he is stunned by the beauty and innocence of an adolescent boy. Fascination turns to fatal love as Aschenbach turns from art to life—and death in Venice. The large-scale, coolly minimalist sets emphasize his anguish, as does the heartrending score featuring compositions by Bach and Wagner. Four performances of Death in Venice will take place at the BAM Howard Gilman Opera House (30 Lafayette Avenue) from Feb 7–10 at 7:30pm. Tickets, priced at $20, 40, 60, and 70, may be purchased by calling BAM ticket services at 718.636.4100 or by visiting BAM.org. About the artists John Neumeier, Hamburg Ballet’s longtime artistic director, crafts roles that distill a character’s essence—be it a swan, prince, or sleeping beauty—while simultaneously capturing the individual qualities of the performer. This profoundly emotional approach frees his dancers to infuse each part with a great depth of feeling and has produced a stellar company whose unrivaled sense of adventure goes hand in hand with a mastery of classical style. The recipient of many awards, most recently the fourth biennial Njinsky Award (2006) for lifetime achievement, Neumeier studied ballet both in Copenhagen and at the Royal Ballet School in London, and later went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree in English literature and theater studies from Marquette University in Wisconsin. In 1963 he was “discovered” in London by Marcia Haydee and Ray Barra, leading John Cranko to engage him at Stuttgart Ballet, where he was often featured as a solo dancer and created his first choreographic works. In 1969 Neumeier was appointed Director of Ballet in Frankfurt where he received many accolades for his interpretations of The Nutcracker, Romeo and Juliet, and Daphnis and Chloe. In 1973 August Everding brought Neumeier to Hamburg, and under his direction The Hamburg Ballet has become one of the world’s leading ballet companies. The Hamburg Ballet was established in 1678 and focused primarily on theater and opera—with dance considered mainly an adjunct to the opera. Hamburg did not develop enthusiasm for dance until the years after World War II. Following the appointment of Rolf Liebermann as general manager in 1959, and Liebernann’s subsequent collaboration with Peter Van Dyk, the company began to perform George Balanchine’s ballets and many interpretations of Stravinsky’s work. In 1973, current Artistic Director John Neumeier took charge and created a new ballet company with multiple performance centers and its own integrated school of dance. The Hamburg Ballet programming now boasts numerous tours abroad, ballet workshops, and special events such as the annual “Hamburg Ballet Days.” Peter Schmidt is a minimalist designer. He is the creator of the Peter Schmidt Group, a design company that excels in architectural, corporate, book, and magazine design. Schmidt has worked both nationally and internationally, notably in Japan and the U.S. Schmidt has extensive experience in the performing arts; he redesigned and renovated the entrance hall to the Hamburg State Opera and since the 1990s Schmidt has focused on ballet and opera productions. In 1994 he designed the set and costumes for Zwischenräume, a John Neumeier ballet set to Gustav Mahler’s 9th symphony and in 2003, for Neumeier’s Death in Venice. Schmidt served as set and costume designer for Ichiro Nodaira’s opera Madrugada, which premiered at the Schleswig-Holstein music festival in 2005, conducted by Kent Nagano. He also designed sets for John Neumeier’s latest ballet, Parzival, which premiered in Baden-Baden and was later performed in Hamburg. In December 2006, Peter Schmidt was awarded an Honorary professorship by the City of Hamburg. Credits BAM 2007 Spring Season is sponsored by Bloomberg.

  • DEATH in VENICE by THOMAS MANN Viviane Ramos De Freitas
    THE PLACE OF DESIRE IN THE CIVILIZATION: DEATH IN VENICE BY THOMAS MANN Viviane Ramos de Freitas Orientador: Prof. Dr. Gregory Dart ABSTRACT This work establishes a dialogic exchange between Thomas Mann’s novella Death in Venice and Freud’s text “Civilization and its discontents”. The work examines the ways in which the Freudian developments on the opposition between the individual’s instincts and civilization underlie the protagonist’s conflicts in Death in Venice. Mann wrote Death in Venice between 1911 and 1912, more than a decade before “Civilization and its discontents” was published. Yet Mann’s hero, the 53-year-old artist Gustav von Aschenbach, seem to embody the modern civilized man divided by the neurotic conflict described by Freud. Moreover, this text explores the ways in which Eros is bound up with Death in Mann’s novella, in which homoerotic desire appears tied to disease, degradation, and death. By focusing on the Freudian theories on Eros and the death drive, as well as on the Nietzschean opposition between the Dionysian and Apollonian artistic worlds, the text aims to examine the imbrications between desire and art, desire and death, desire and civilization in Death in Venice. Keywords: Art. Civilization. Death drive. Eros. Homoerotic desire. RESUMO Este trabalho estabelece um dialogo entre a novela Morte em Veneza, de Thomas Mann e o texto “O mal-estar na civilização”, de Sigmund Freud. O trabalho examina de que formas as elaborações freudianas a respeito da oposição entre as pulsões do indivíduo e a civilização está refletida nos conflitos do protagonista de Morte em Veneza.

  • THOMAS MANN's INTERPRETATIONS of DER TOD in VENEDIG and TMEIR RELIABILITY by Herbert Lehnert
    THOMAS MANN'S INTERPRETATIONS OF DER TOD IN VENEDIG AND TMEIR RELIABILITY by Herbert Lehnert One of the last comments by Thomas Mann on his Der Tod in Venedig is found in a letter to Franz H. Mautner, the author of a valuable study on the Greek elements in Mann's st0ry.l In this letter Mann claimed his memory to be the source of an Odyssey quotation in the text. Homer's verses, he writes, had been well preserved in his memory from his days as a boy. There is ample evidence, however, that the source for the Homer quotation in the text was Erwin Rohde's Psyche, a book from which Mann also took other material for Der Tod in Venedig.2 Why did he not name Rohde's book as a source of Der Tod in Venedig? Psyche is a most respectable book, written in a beautiful style rarely found among German scholars, and it is still recognized as the standard work on the topic, namely the Greek beliefs concerning the existence of the soul after death. Could he have forgotten the rather elaborate process, that we can reconstruct, of not only reading the book, but also pencil-marking some passages, excerpting some of these, and then using them in the story? This is quite possible after forty years, although he still owned the book when living in his last home in Switzerland, and placed it in his library among works on mythology which he used for Joseph. He had mentioned his early knowledge of classical legends much earlier in "Kinderspiele" (1904).

    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.

    MAURO PETER … a dreamy song recital and a flawless, multi-faceted performance – thus Mauro Peter’s perfor- mance at the 2019 Salzburg Festival, according to the Salzburger Nachrichten. This expressive fascination has won him enthusiastic audiences since his spectacular debut at the Schubertiade Schwarzenberg in 2012. Ever since, he has appeared on concert and opera stages everywhere in Europe. The Swiss tenor begins the 2020/21 season with a song recital at the internationally renowned Lucerne Festival.

  • Death and Beauty: Deliverance from Mortality in the Works of Thomas Mann and Yasunari Kawabata
    1 Death and Beauty: Deliverance from Mortality in The Works of Thomas Mann and Yasunari Kawabata Divided by nearly a generation and by culture, it is not surprising that Thomas Mann and Yasunari Kawabata each took death as a major theme. As products of nations with great martial traditions and ones steeped in a variously Christian and Buddhist/Shinto tradition, and confronting the challenges that the twentieth century with its fascist movements and cataclysmic wars presented, the works of Mann and Kawabata serve to illustrate how modern man confronts destructive and transformative change by turning to the certainties and traditions of the past. If, as Mann’s biographer and Marxist critic Georg Lukács suggests, Mann described “the conflicts …in the psychological and moral realms” connected to the historical developments of his day (“Bourgeois” 471), Kawabata, for his part vowed to write nothing but elegies following Japan’s ignominious defeat in World War II (Petersen 155). Accordingly, death, with its intimate companions disease, loss and decay, becomes in both bodies of work a foreboding presence. Unremitting gloom is not, however, what Mann and Kawabata deliver. While the characters in the stories studied here struggle with the dark aspects of life, they also experience moments of surpassing beauty. These moments are often depicted through secondary characters of youthful innocence and purity, virginal youth unsullied by the corrupting influence of sexual experience. These archetypal characters represent a connection to traditional values; through them the main protagonists grasp meaning as their reality shifts and time presses on them. They offer a promise of redemption from the loss and pain that are the ultimate gifts of time, and from illness and death itself.

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.
