| Het Muziektheater, Amsterdam, Waterlooplein 22, Amsterdam, Netherlands Tuesday 4-Jun-13 05:30pm In his only comic opera, Wagner distilled poetry and music into a single unified form that unfolds as an unbroken stream of music-dramatic dialogue. It became a singspiel, partly based on personal experience, about the romance between the bourgeois girl Eva Pogner and the knight Walther von Stolzing, who may only wed his beloved once he has won the annual singing contest. The cobbler Hans Sachs represents, on the one hand, the old guard as a member of the Guild of Mastersingers; on the other hand he is open to modernization and stimulates the knight’s artistic gifts, stoking the conflict between narrow-mindedness and true artistry – a theme certainly not unfamiliar to Wagner himself. Love triumphs in the end, thanks to Sachs’ closing address in which he praises the ‘master’s honour’, a typically German honour one might view with considerable scepticism: the Meistersinger finale was, after all, misused for political purposes.Running time 5 hours 25 minutes with two intervals, in German with Dutch and English surtitles.Image credit: Ada Nieuwendijk Marc Albrecht, Conductor David Alden, Director Thomas Johannes Mayer, Bass: Hans Sachs Alastair Miles, Bass: Pogner Pascal Pittie, Tenor: Kunz Vogelgesang Mattijs van de Woerd, Baritone: Konrad Nachtigall Adrian Eröd, Baritone: Sixtus Beckmesser Thomas Oliemans, Baritone: Fritz Kothner Brian Galliford, Tenor: Balthasar Zorn Roberto Saccà, Tenor: Walther von Stolzing Ana Maria Martinez, Soprano: Eva Sarah Castle, Mezzo-soprano: Magdalene Nederlands Philharmonisch Orkest Koor van De Nederlandse Opera Marcel Beekman, Tenor: Ulrich Eisslinger | ||

Stadsschouwburg, Amsterdam Tragedy of a Friendship - Dutch première Holland Festival |
Vlaamse Opera |
| ||
| Stadsschouwburg, Amsterdam, Amsterdam, Netherlands Saturday 15-Jun-13 08:30pm Tragedy of a Friendship - Dutch première Co-production of Troubleyn/Jan Fabre, Concertgebouw Brugge, Théâtre de la Ville Paris, Opéra de Lille & Wagner Genèva Festival, Holland Festival.Jan Fabre depicts friendship and feud between Wagner and Nietzsche in new opera.
Tragic is the right word to describe the friendship between Richard Wagner and Friedrich Nietzsche. At first the composer of the Gesamtkunstwerk and the philosopher with the hammer were full of admiration for one another, but later the young Nietzsche became increasingly disappointed by the older Wagner. In two vitriolic essays he rased him to the ground.
As well as this fascinating story of the relationship between the thinker and the artist, the Flemish director Jan Fabre was also inspired by the thirteen groundbreaking opera masterpieces which Wagner wrote. In collaboration with writer Stefan Hertmans and German composer Moritz Eggert, he has constructed a dramatic opera in homage to one of his favourite composers.Tickets €45 - 25, Students/CJP €17.50 all categories. Running time 2 hours no interval, in English and German with Dutch surtitles.Image credit: Ada Nieuwendijk | ||

|

| Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ: Main Hall, Amsterdam, Piet Heinkade 1, Amsterdam 1019 BR, Netherlands Tuesday 18-Jun-13 08:30pm Troparion and Suster Bertken The Dutch composer Rob Zuidam has always had an eye for headstrong women. In his first collaboration with festival director Pierre Audi he puts two of them on stage. Suster Bertken tells about the fascinating life of the medieval ascetic Berta Jacobs, who bricked herself in at the Buur Church in Utrecht, in order to devote her life to God. This work from 2010 will be staged for the first time, in combination with the brand new Troparion, which Zuidam wrote for alto Helena Rasker, the young violinist Liza Ferschtman and a small instrumental ensemble. The piece is about a woman who sheds her tears on a dead branch, hoping God will breathe new life into it. According to Zuidam the work is about ‘hope and melancholy and the inability to bridge the gap between past and future.’Tickets €29 - 24, students/CJO €17.50 all categories. Running time 2 hours 5 minutes, with one internal. In medieval Dutch and ancient Greek with Dutch surtitles.Image credit: Ada Nieuwendijk | ||
