The Seal: a children's opera
Summer on Lake Saimaa drags on and on. Autumn, so eagerly awaited, never seems to come, to say nothing of winter. Are the ice and snow so vital for the seal to breed in danger of vanishing from the annual round? The resourceful Lumi (Snow) and her friends set out to discover the reason why.
The Savonlinna Opera Festival’s fourth opera for children could hardly be more topical and more suited to its environment. Set in the world of the ringed seal, a native of the Saimaa region, The Seal has been devised and prepared together with pupils in Finnish junior schools. Script and visualisation competitions held in the past school year yielded a wealth of material that is being processed jointly by composer Timo-Juhani Kyllönen and librettist Iida Hämeen-Anttila.

Oper in sieben Bildern
Die monumentale Großstadt Babylon wird zum Schauplatz eines zivilisatorischen Umbruchs im Moment des Aufeinanderprallens zweier Kulturen: Während die Babylonier noch das Menschenopfer praktizieren, haben die Juden, die hier im Exil festsitzen, es bereits abgeschafft. Die Oper verfolgt diesen Konflikt über die Liebe des Exilanten Tammu zur Babylonierin Inanna, Priesterin im Tempel der freien Liebe. Als die Götter im Weltall Chaos entfesseln, werden auch die Tage auf der Erde wirr, Meteoritenhagel bedrohen die Menschen, der Euphrat verlässt sein Bett, es kommt zur Sintflut. Der Priesterkönig verspricht Ruhe und Ordnung zwischen Himmel und Erde durch ein Menschenopfer, die Babylonier begehen dies in einem rauschhaften Fest. Inanna aber steigt hinab in die Unterwelt, um den geopferten Tammu zurück ins Leben zu holen und sich mit ihm zu vereinigen. Am Ende siegt die Liebe und Versöhnung zwischen dem Himmel und den Menschen löst das alte Opfer ab. Eine vertragliche Übereinkunft begründet eine neue Weltordnung, in der wir uns noch heute befinden: die auf geordnete Wiederkehr beruhende 7-Tage-Woche.
Der Komponist Jörg Widmann trug lange die Idee einer Oper zu Babylon in sich. Seine ursprüngliche Faszination wurde geweckt von dem völlig anderen, für uns kaum beschreibbaren Liebeskonzept im vorantiken Mesopotamien. Die Liebe zwischen Tammu und Inanna geht zurück auf eines der legendärsten mythologischen Liebespaare der Babylonischen Antike, das schon Mozarts Zauberflöten-Dichter Schikaneder inspiriert hat: zwischen dem Helden Tammuzi und Inanna, Göttin der Liebe und des Krieges.
In German with German surtitles.

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.

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.

Lohengrin is Savonlinna’s tribute to the 200th anniversary in 2013 of the birth of Richard Wagner. By the time he came to write this, his sixth opera, Wagner had finally discovered his very own approach to opera as an art form emphasising the unity of words and music. As Franz Liszt, who conducted the first performance, said, old opera had reached the end of the road with Lohengrin – a masterpiece containing some of the most magnificent male choruses in all Wagner.
The interpretation created for the Olavinlinna stage by a German team led by stage director Roman Hovenbitzer seasons the libretto steeped in romantic chivalry with allusions to three eras: the Middle Ages, when the tale was originally written, the Romantic era, when the opera was composed, and the present day, an age that craves a messianic savour and heroic idols just as much as in Wagner’s times.

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."

Spain in 1560: life on the brink of the abyss. A land ruled by church and state! Will the mighty – the grand inquisitor and the king – succeed in killing love? Will they manage to extinguish the blazing flame of liberty? Verdi's darkest opera causes us to tremble, but the composer’s musical genius does it in a fascinating and deeply moving way.

Spain in 1560: life on the brink of the abyss. A land ruled by church and state! Will the mighty – the grand inquisitor and the king – succeed in killing love? Will they manage to extinguish the blazing flame of liberty? Verdi's darkest opera causes us to tremble, but the composer’s musical genius does it in a fascinating and deeply moving way.
Five act version Italian with German surtitles.

In honeyed tones, Lord and Lady Macbeth reveal their passionate and bizarre emotions to us. But behind this beauty there lurks an abyss, which Verdi unveils with one of the cruelest dramas in the history of world literature. In their struggle to seize power and retain it once it has been usurped, Macbeth and his lady commit one murder after another. The unwavering nature of their desire imbues their love with a radicality that would have been unthinkable on the operatic stage before this work. “The subject matter of this opera is neither political nor religious: it is fantastic,” wrote Verdi and brought Shakespeare’s play closer to a more “romantic” reading. In actual fact, the witches, ghosts and apparitions, the eerie elements, which dominate the musical and dramatic flow, in short the whole world of this opera can be regarded as an outward image of its protagonists’ inner state.
In Italian with German surtitles.
