| Opernhaus, Zürich, Opernhaus Falkenstrasse 1, Zürich 8008, Switzerland Saturday 29-Jun-13 07:00pm The court of the Duke of Mantua is the scene of glittering festivities. However, the courtiers who enjoy themselves at these celebrations are morally reprobate. They no longer have any values and amuse themselves out of sheer boredom. Here, to enjoy oneself means to humiliate and demean others. The court jester, Rigoletto, is the most cynical of all. He wants to protect only his daughter Gilda from the corrupt world. He locks her away and forbids her everything. Despite this, the young woman goes her own way. She develops from a rebellious teenager into a mature, loving woman. Her longing for freedom and self-determination is stronger than her father’s oppressive authoritarianism, and her faith in love remains unshakeable, despite the hypocrisy of society. Like so many of Verdi’s figures, Gilda achieves what she failed to do in life only in death – to take the step towards freedom.
With Rigoletto, Giuseppe Verdi attained a new level in his musical and dramatic oeuvre. He composes the scenes and successive images in a highly precise manner, at times almost like a film editor. The score reveals a brilliant juxtaposition of psychological ambiguity and melodic directness. There are strong contrasts in atmosphere. Giuseppe Verdi wrote Rigoletto during the politically volatile post-revolutionary period around 1850. His decision to base his opera on Victor Hugo’s play, Le Roi s’amuse (The King amuses himself), was an extremely socio-critical choice. Rigoletto is one of the Italian composer’s most sinister operas.
Tatjana Gürbaca will stage the piece, which will be her début at Zurich Opera House. The German director is now one of the most prominent of her generation; this is also because she preserves a feminine view of the works she stages. The internationally sought-after Alexandra Kurzak will be performing Gilda, and Quinn Kelsey, who is considered a sensational discovery among Verdi baritones, will be singing Rigoletto. The experienced Verdi expert Fabio Luisi will be at the rostrum.

| Olavinlinna Castle, Savonlinna, Savonlinna 57150, Finland Saturday 6-Jul-13 07:00pm In honour of the 200th anniversary of the birth of Giuseppe Verdi, the Savonlinna Opera Festival is adding to its repertoire one of the best-loved and most frequently-performed operas of all time. For many an opera lover this will mean a long-cherished dream come true: La traviata at last in Savonlinna!
Can a flighty courtesan accustomed to a life of pleasure genuinely fall in love, and does she deserve true happiness? Verdi was clearly inspired by this tragic, beautiful love story about Violetta and Alfredo, built round these fundamental questions. The music of La traviata is some of his very finest: coloratura arias that bubble like champagne, and melodies that play exquisitely on the ear follow one upon the other like a row of sparkling gems, pampering the listener again and again.

| National Theatre, Munich, Munich, Germany Saturday 6-Jul-13 07:00pm Verdi's final opera – a grandiose comedy: the roly-poly roué Sir John writes the same love letter to two different women. Logically, this leads to plenty of turbulence on the stage. This jolly work of Verdi's old age reaches its high point in the recognition: "Everything on earth is a joke!" Ambrogio Maestri as Falstaff! A subtle production. Oh, Verdi lover, what more could you ask?

| National Theatre, Munich, Munich, Germany Monday 8-Jul-13 07:00pm "If you travel to India and to Central Africa, you'll hear Trovatore.“ Nine years after the triumphant first performance, Verdi's opera had achieved the worldwide popularity that moved the composer to make this comment. The fabric of the opera could hardly be more gloomy: a gypsy who wishes to avenge the death of her mother at the stake, a count who wishes to use the execution of this gypsy to strike at his rival; a horrifying truth that is revealed at the moment of death. All the ingredients of Verdi's dramatic abundance appear here: mysterious sound worlds, harsh contrasts, vocal brilliance, opulent tableaux. The cohesive narrative style gives way to the variation of suggestive musical images with which Verdi served "the most important part of the drama“: revenge.In Italian with German surtitles.Paolo Carignani, Conductor Olivier Py, Director Alexei Markov, Baritone: The Count Di Luna Anja Harteros, Soprano: Leonora Elena Manistina, Mezzo-soprano: Azucena Jonas Kaufmann, Tenor: Manrico Kwangchul Youn, Bass: Ferrando Golda Schultz, Soprano: Ines | ||

| National Theatre, Munich, Munich, Germany Tuesday 9-Jul-13 07:00pm Men don't fall in love with courtesans! That's the opinion of Alfredo's father after his son moves in with the mortally ill Violetta Valéry. In her love for Alfredo Violetta even agrees. She leaves him, dies poor, ill – still dreaming of the happiness of true love. One of Verdi's most beloved operas continues to hold the mirror up to society and its hypocritical morality. An exemplary production! See it!

| Olavinlinna Castle, Savonlinna, Savonlinna 57150, Finland Saturday 13-Jul-13 07:00pm The masterly music composed by Giuseppe Verdi for Shakespeare’s powerful drama, combined with the highly-acclaimed direction of Ralf Långbacka and the costumes and stage designs of Anneli Qveflander together create one of the most successful productions in the history of the Savonlinna Opera Festival. This Macbeth has also been frequently seen on other stages, both in guest performances by the Savonlinna Opera Festival and in rental productions.When lust for power spurs husband and wife to ever more dastardly deeds, an honourable nobleman and first-rate soldier can turn into a human monster who, to be on the safe side, stops at nothing to liquidate any who stand in his way, both friend and foe. This perspective, highlighted in Långbacka’s vision, makes the Savonlinna Macbeth a more human and more “ordinary” character than the one presented in many other productions. And hence so credible and moving.

| Opernhaus, Zürich, Opernhaus Falkenstrasse 1, Zürich 8008, Switzerland Saturday 13-Jul-13 07:00pm The court of the Duke of Mantua is the scene of glittering festivities. However, the courtiers who enjoy themselves at these celebrations are morally reprobate. They no longer have any values and amuse themselves out of sheer boredom. Here, to enjoy oneself means to humiliate and demean others. The court jester, Rigoletto, is the most cynical of all. He wants to protect only his daughter Gilda from the corrupt world. He locks her away and forbids her everything. Despite this, the young woman goes her own way. She develops from a rebellious teenager into a mature, loving woman. Her longing for freedom and self-determination is stronger than her father’s oppressive authoritarianism, and her faith in love remains unshakeable, despite the hypocrisy of society. Like so many of Verdi’s figures, Gilda achieves what she failed to do in life only in death – to take the step towards freedom.
With Rigoletto, Giuseppe Verdi attained a new level in his musical and dramatic oeuvre. He composes the scenes and successive images in a highly precise manner, at times almost like a film editor. The score reveals a brilliant juxtaposition of psychological ambiguity and melodic directness. There are strong contrasts in atmosphere. Giuseppe Verdi wrote Rigoletto during the politically volatile post-revolutionary period around 1850. His decision to base his opera on Victor Hugo’s play, Le Roi s’amuse (The King amuses himself), was an extremely socio-critical choice. Rigoletto is one of the Italian composer’s most sinister operas.
Tatjana Gürbaca will stage the piece, which will be her début at Zurich Opera House. The German director is now one of the most prominent of her generation; this is also because she preserves a feminine view of the works she stages. The internationally sought-after Alexandra Kurzak will be performing Gilda, and Quinn Kelsey, who is considered a sensational discovery among Verdi baritones, will be singing Rigoletto. The experienced Verdi expert Fabio Luisi will be at the rostrum.

| Olavinlinna Castle, Savonlinna, Savonlinna 57150, Finland Monday 15-Jul-13 07:00pm In honour of the 200th anniversary of the birth of Giuseppe Verdi, the Savonlinna Opera Festival is adding to its repertoire one of the best-loved and most frequently-performed operas of all time. For many an opera lover this will mean a long-cherished dream come true: La traviata at last in Savonlinna!
Can a flighty courtesan accustomed to a life of pleasure genuinely fall in love, and does she deserve true happiness? Verdi was clearly inspired by this tragic, beautiful love story about Violetta and Alfredo, built round these fundamental questions. The music of La traviata is some of his very finest: coloratura arias that bubble like champagne, and melodies that play exquisitely on the ear follow one upon the other like a row of sparkling gems, pampering the listener again and again.

| National Theatre, Munich, Munich, Germany Tuesday 16-Jul-13 07:00pm Three characters – a lethal drama! Jago's vanity: offended. Otello's emotions: unrestrained. Desdemona's love: helpless. Plus a handkerchief as corpus dilecti. Never did Verdi compose revenge, intrigue and jealousy with more fiery, diabolical music as he provides in this opera written toward the end of his long career. A fascinating murder mystery!

| National Theatre, Munich, Munich, Germany Wednesday 17-Jul-13 07:00pm The first performance of the first opera in Verdi's legendary "trilogia popolare" at the Teatro La Fenice in Venice was preceded by a tricky battle with the censor. After all, the play by Victor Hugo on which it was based, about the cynical hedonism of an aristocrat, had been a hot potato throughout Europe since 1832, when it was banned immediately after its first performance in Paris. Verdi was interested less in criticism of the ruling classes and more in the tragedy of the court jester whose existence is devastated. The deformed entertainer in a world of men who consume women pulls out all the stops in his sarcasm and yet believes that he will remain unharmed by his public actions if he merely separates them cleanly from his private happiness. But when his daughter, imprisoned in a remote location for her own protection, follows her own longing, she becomes the victim of his double existence. A lonely, pitiable clown? "An amoral petty bourgeois man", thinks Arpad Schilling, "who dreams of innocence. A husband mourning for his wife and filled with a thirst for revenge. A great actor to whom success is more important than his own daughter. The fool of a noble lord who has been cheated by his own happiness. Verdi can do what Shakespeare does: He can tell a story in such a way as to make us shudder."
