 | ||
| The London Coliseum, St. Martin's Lane, London WC2N 4ES, United Kingdom Friday 14-Jun-13 07:30pm Two unspoken themes run throughout Britten’s much-admired opera: the impossible passion that a troubled writer forms for a fellow hotel guest, and the cholera epidemic which the authorities are all too keen to hush up. In Death in Venice, Britten revisits the subject of corruption of youth and innocence that so fascinated him and delivers a haunting theatrical experience of consummate power.
Deborah Warner’s production of Britten’s final opera celebrates the composer’s centenary year and reaffirms ENO’s position as the world’s leading producer of his operas. This production reunites award-winning director Warner with ENO Music Director Edward Gardner, who returns to Britten following ENO’s productions of Billy Budd (2012) and Peter Grimes (2009), for which his conducting was described as ‘deeply musical’ (Financial Times).

Ook op zijn 75e is De Leeuw nog even gedreven als krachtig. In dit feestelijke verjaardagsconcert – tevens de opening van de Donderdagavondserie – dirigeert hij zelf werk van Gérard Grisey (1946-1998). Als verjaardagscadeau voert Asko|Schönberg twee werken uit die hem na aan het hart liggen.
Schönbergs Suite op. 29 behoort tot het kernrepertoire van Reinbert de Leeuw en Asko|Schönberg. De Leeuws liefde voor de muziek van Grisey is van recentere datum. In Quatre chants pour franchir le seuil schetst de Franse componist een aangrijpend beeld van de teloorgang van de beschaving.

Het danstheatergezelschap ISH en ensemble VOCAALLAB transformeren de opera L'Incoronazione di Poppea van barokcomponist Monteverdi tot een eigen, unieke voorstelling. Een heftig verhaal waarin het streven naar macht samenvalt met de kracht van de liefde.
De voorstelling toerde eerder in najaar 2011 en werd alom lovend ontvangen. Vier breakdancers, een beatboxer, vier zangers, vier instrumentalisten en een dj laten zien wat het streven naar macht en geld doet met het karakter van mensen. De vraag die opdoemt, is of de zucht naar macht niet beter vervangen kan worden door het streven naar geluk.

| National Theatre, Munich, Munich, Germany Thursday 26-Dec-13 03:00pm The Nutcracker - Family Performance The Nutcracker [Neumeier] Music by Tchaikovsky, Pyotr Ilyich (1840-1893) Choreography by John Neumeier Is The Nutcracker merely a Christmas tale? No, not necessarily - A winter tale, perhaps. Most of all, the nutcracker is a birthday present for Marie! John Neumeier chooses to tell the poetic fairy tale "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King" by E.T.A. Hoffmann in a different way. "A new classic was born", said Dorion Weickmann, "an everlasting staple of ballet repertory full of insights on human relationships that were, and are still, highly relevant in society." Neumeier said in 1975, only four years after giving this all-time favorite family classic a fresh face. The American choreographer, then and now artistic director of the Hamburg Ballet, reduced the old-fashioned tale to its essential message: Marie is growing up - with all the emotions, conflicts and feelings that this laborious process entails. With innate drama, baroque elegance and clever humor, Neumeier created a tableau that is far from Hoffmann’s original tale. His Nutcracker boldly comments on the state of our society, it is a family portrait and a story of the rite of passage. Moreover, it’s a deep bow of respect to the high art of classical ballet. None other than Petipa himself whisks away Marie to the foreign (dream-) world of the theater. There, she encounters and surrenders to the charm of famous ballets characters – but rest assured: the audience is right with her on that. Tickets €7 - 70. Written orders will be processed beginning 26. September 2013. Playing time: 2 hours 35 minutes (1 intermission).

| National Theatre, Munich, Munich, Germany Friday 24-Jan-14 08:00pm Forever Young Music by Henry Purcell, arranged by Simon Sadoff / Johannes Brahms, Symphony Nr. 4 e Moll op. 98 / Barry AdamsonForever Young – the title of a mixed-bill program featuring José Limón’s The Moor‘s Pavane, Choreartium by Léonide Massine and Maliphant's Broken Fall, with a hint of irony, reflects on a central theme of dance research which recently has been strongly endorsed by the National Culture Foundation: What is dance heritage and how do we pass it on? How do we handle the responsibility of keeping alive the legacies created by past choreographers? When the quality of the work itself transcends all of its contemporary ties and cross-references, it carries over seamlessly to the next generation: it is indeed Forever young… A certain part of this legacy arguably is to be kept in archives – the rest needs to stay alive through performance. The Bavarian State Ballet responds to the call for innovation in dance during the season by dedicating it to the classic modernity as well as challenging its audience’s perceptions with original contemporary works. With his masterpiece Choreartium, originating from the tradition of the Ballets Russes, choreographer Léonide Massine laid the groundwork for future artists by visualizing music through dance. Thereby, he created unsentimental works that, apart from their metaphysical content, stand for pure aesthetic 'material' which will be accessible to many generations to come. José Limón’s ballet The Moor‘s Pavane, a take on Shakespeare’s drama between Otello and Desdemona, focuses on the human inability to love, trust and his lack of compassion and empathy. To this day, the ballet by Mexican-American choreographer José Limón from 1949 is considered one of the key-repertory pieces of American Modern dance.

| National Theatre, Munich, Munich, Germany Saturday 1-Feb-14 07:30pm Forever Young Music by Henry Purcell, arranged by Simon Sadoff / Johannes Brahms, Symphony Nr. 4 e Moll op. 98 / Barry AdamsonForever Young – the title of a mixed-bill program featuring José Limón’s The Moor‘s Pavane, Choreartium by Léonide Massine and Maliphant's Broken Fall, with a hint of irony, reflects on a central theme of dance research which recently has been strongly endorsed by the National Culture Foundation: What is dance heritage and how do we pass it on? How do we handle the responsibility of keeping alive the legacies created by past choreographers? When the quality of the work itself transcends all of its contemporary ties and cross-references, it carries over seamlessly to the next generation: it is indeed Forever young… A certain part of this legacy arguably is to be kept in archives – the rest needs to stay alive through performance. The Bavarian State Ballet responds to the call for innovation in dance during the season by dedicating it to the classic modernity as well as challenging its audience’s perceptions with original contemporary works. With his masterpiece Choreartium, originating from the tradition of the Ballets Russes, choreographer Léonide Massine laid the groundwork for future artists by visualizing music through dance. Thereby, he created unsentimental works that, apart from their metaphysical content, stand for pure aesthetic 'material' which will be accessible to many generations to come. José Limón’s ballet The Moor‘s Pavane, a take on Shakespeare’s drama between Otello and Desdemona, focuses on the human inability to love, trust and his lack of compassion and empathy. To this day, the ballet by Mexican-American choreographer José Limón from 1949 is considered one of the key-repertory pieces of American Modern dance.
