| Oslo Opera House, Main Stage, Oslo, Norway Wednesday 17-Mar-10 19:00 Norwegian Opera Sung in German with Norwegian and English subtitles. Running time 2 hours 30 minutes. After working on grand pieces such as Salome, Elektra and The Knight of the Rose, the composer Richard Strauss and poet Hugo von Hofmannsthal arrived at a new and unusual project: Ariadne auf Naxos. This is an opera about an opera - at the Opera. Proceedings take place at the magnificent residence of the richest man in Vienna who is hosting a party. He commands a tragic opera, but fears that it will be too heavy and droll for its selected audience. He therefore additionally hires a commedia dell'arte troupe (troupe of Italian jesters) to present introductory entertainment. This gives rise to the originators' ingenious dramaturgy: the Count's courtier announces a completely necessary change. The climax of the evening is a huge fireworks display at midnight. Due to lack of time it is decided that the comedy and tragedy must be performed simultaneously! This became one of the Norwegian Opera's greatest successes, both amongst critics and audiences at Youngstorget following the opening night in 2000. "Breakneck night with the stars", wrote Dagbladet. "A joy", was VG's opinion, who gave the performance, directed by Martin Duncan, 5 points out of 6.

Dresden State Opera Staatskapelle Dresden Staatsopernchor Dresden Peter Schneider, Conductor Kurt Rydl, Bass: Sir Morosus Ofelia Sala, Soprano: Aminta Markus Butter, Bass: Schneidebart, the barber Oliver Ringelhahn, Tenor: Henry Morosus |
| More Info... | ||
| Dresden Staatskapelle, D 01067 Dresden, Germany Tuesday 23-Mar-10 19:00 Dresden State Opera In co-production with the Vienna State Opera. Sir Morosus, a retired admiral, suffers from extreme noise sensitivity. He lives as a hermit in his house. His housekeeper and barber are his only contacts. The garrulous housekeeper is getting on his nerves. He throws her out when she vociferously argues with the barber. The barber helps to let the old sea dog become appealed by the thought of marrying a young and quiet woman. Unexpectedly, Henry, the nephew of Sir Morosus, appears. Following the joy of the reunion comes the shock: Henry has brought his colleagues with him – an Italian opera troupe. Morosus disinherits Henry and instructs the barber to look for a bride for him. The intrigue begins because the barber gets an idea that is to be carried out by the members of the troupe. It almost goes almost without saying that Aminta, the prima donna of the opera troupe and the wife of Henry (a fact that is kept secret from Morosus), plays the main role in the comedy that now begins. Morosus’ life is transformed into a noisy hell. In any event, he finds peace again when the intrigue is resolved. Laughing, he forgives everyone because he recognizes the salutary effect of the subterfuge.

| Oper Frankfurt, Frankfurt, Germany Sunday 28-Mar-10 18:00 Oper Frankfurt A pastoral tragedy in dark times. While Karl Böhm, to whom Strauss dedicated this opera, conducted the final rehearsals at the Semperoper in Dresden german troops were occupying the Sudentenland. It was the ninth and last world premiere of a Strauss opera in the opera house that was completely destroyed in 1945. But the smell of war was already in the air in 1938. At the end of Daphne a miracle takes place: the title figure transforms herself into a part of nature. As her name implies, she mutates into a laurel. After much too-ing and fro-ing between Strauss and his librettist Joseph Gregor they found the solution: Salvation is: »everything disturbing must go - the tree alone, it sings!« With Daphne, the mythological fisherman's (daughter of River Penios) daughter, begins, so may one believe, the start of the modern history of opera. In 1597 Jacopo Peri, with Rinuccini's libretto, created this first work of a new and promising form of artistry. The old mythological legend about the beautiful woman who couldn't, and did not want to, love a man, has inspired many over the centuries. Ovid's Metamorphosisses are a reworking of this ancient material. Plutarch's version brought the childhood friend and love smitten king's son Leukippos into play, and Strauss advances the tale further into an allegory of surpressed human nature. Strauss keeps the musical spheres of the woman and her suitor far apart from one another. Lyrical, chamber music like tones contrast dazzlingly with dionysian orchestral passages. Sung in German. Sebastian Weigle, Conductor Matthew Best, Bass: Peneios Tanja Ariane Baumgartner, Soprano: Gaea Maria Bengtsson, Soprano: Daphne Daniel Behle, Tenor: Leukippos Lance Ryan, Tenor: Apollo | ||

| Oslo Opera House, Main Stage, Oslo, Norway Tuesday 6-Apr-10 19:00 Norwegian Opera Sung in German with Norwegian and English subtitles. Running time 2 hours 30 minutes. After working on grand pieces such as Salome, Elektra and The Knight of the Rose, the composer Richard Strauss and poet Hugo von Hofmannsthal arrived at a new and unusual project: Ariadne auf Naxos. This is an opera about an opera - at the Opera. Proceedings take place at the magnificent residence of the richest man in Vienna who is hosting a party. He commands a tragic opera, but fears that it will be too heavy and droll for its selected audience. He therefore additionally hires a commedia dell'arte troupe (troupe of Italian jesters) to present introductory entertainment. This gives rise to the originators' ingenious dramaturgy: the Count's courtier announces a completely necessary change. The climax of the evening is a huge fireworks display at midnight. Due to lack of time it is decided that the comedy and tragedy must be performed simultaneously! This became one of the Norwegian Opera's greatest successes, both amongst critics and audiences at Youngstorget following the opening night in 2000. "Breakneck night with the stars", wrote Dagbladet. "A joy", was VG's opinion, who gave the performance, directed by Martin Duncan, 5 points out of 6.

| Oper Frankfurt, Frankfurt, Germany Saturday 10-Apr-10 19:30 Oper Frankfurt A pastoral tragedy in dark times. While Karl Böhm, to whom Strauss dedicated this opera, conducted the final rehearsals at the Semperoper in Dresden german troops were occupying the Sudentenland. It was the ninth and last world premiere of a Strauss opera in the opera house that was completely destroyed in 1945. But the smell of war was already in the air in 1938. At the end of Daphne a miracle takes place: the title figure transforms herself into a part of nature. As her name implies, she mutates into a laurel. After much too-ing and fro-ing between Strauss and his librettist Joseph Gregor they found the solution: Salvation is: »everything disturbing must go - the tree alone, it sings!« With Daphne, the mythological fisherman's (daughter of River Penios) daughter, begins, so may one believe, the start of the modern history of opera. In 1597 Jacopo Peri, with Rinuccini's libretto, created this first work of a new and promising form of artistry. The old mythological legend about the beautiful woman who couldn't, and did not want to, love a man, has inspired many over the centuries. Ovid's Metamorphosisses are a reworking of this ancient material. Plutarch's version brought the childhood friend and love smitten king's son Leukippos into play, and Strauss advances the tale further into an allegory of surpressed human nature. Strauss keeps the musical spheres of the woman and her suitor far apart from one another. Lyrical, chamber music like tones contrast dazzlingly with dionysian orchestral passages. Sung in German. Sebastian Weigle, Conductor Matthew Best, Bass: Peneios Tanja Ariane Baumgartner, Soprano: Gaea Maria Bengtsson, Soprano: Daphne Daniel Behle, Tenor: Leukippos Lance Ryan, Tenor: Apollo | ||
