National Theatre, Munich Les Contes d'Hoffmann |
Bavarian State Opera Emmanuel Villaume, Conductor Richard Jones, Director Kathleen Kim, Soprano: Olympia Genia Kühmeier, Soprano: Antonia Dinara Alieva, Soprano: Giulietta Kevin Conners, Tenor: Andreas/Cochenille/Pitichinaccio /Frantz John Relyea, Bass-baritone: Lindorff/Coppélius/Miracle/Dapertutto Tara Erraught, Mezzo-soprano: The Muse Giuseppe Filianoti, Tenor: Hoffmann |
 | ||
| National Theatre, Munich, Munich, Germany Friday 24-May-13 07:00pm Les Contes d'Hoffmann The protagonist of the opera is E.T.A. Hoffmann, the prototype of the German romantic period artist: his life is an artwork, his lower depths, his doubts, his grand inspirations – his crises. And all of these are connected with: women. Hoffmann in the opera tells of three types of woman in his tales, the “lifeless doll with a heart of ice”, the “virtuoso”, ill and destined to die, as well as the “shameless courtesan”.
Jacques Offenbach’s opera fantastique, premièred in 1881, is based on the play of the same name by Jules Barbier and Michel Carré, who drew from the biographies and works of E.T.A. Hoffmann, Adelbert von Chamisso and Alfred de Musset to create their own artist’s drama. It is not a literature opera – the protagonists from different romantic tales are connected to one another by a fictitious Hoffmann – but rather more of a message to the writer, telling him to make art his matter of the heart, or perhaps even open up his heart with brutal frankness.
Co-production with the English National Opera, London.

As in his previous operas, he succeeds in producing an incredible tension, a breathtakingly beautiful structuring of the text (his third collaboration with Da Ponte) and the music. Director Michael Haneke, one of the most incisive and insightful film-makers of our time, presents us with his vision of a work that is as spell-binding, serious, complex and at times light as it is formidably modern, where the experience of infidelity transforms the four characters by laying bare their frailty. For the Austrian director, this is his first time at La Monnaie, while Ludovic Morlot conducts his second opera of the season.Image credit: © Flore-Aël Surun / Tendance Floue Ludovic Morlot, Conductor Michael Haneke, Director Christoph Kanter, Set Designer Anett Fritsch, Soprano: Fiordiligi Andreas Wolf, Baritone: Guglielmo Juan Francisco Gatell, Tenor: Ferrando Kerstin Avemo, Soprano: Despina William Shimell, Baritone: Don Alfonso Orchestre Symphonique et Choeurs de la Monnaie | ||

| ||
| National Theatre, Munich, Munich, Germany Sunday 2-Jun-13 06:00pm Les Contes d'Hoffmann The protagonist of the opera is E.T.A. Hoffmann, the prototype of the German romantic period artist: his life is an artwork, his lower depths, his doubts, his grand inspirations – his crises. And all of these are connected with: women. Hoffmann in the opera tells of three types of woman in his tales, the “lifeless doll with a heart of ice”, the “virtuoso”, ill and destined to die, as well as the “shameless courtesan”.
Jacques Offenbach’s opera fantastique, premièred in 1881, is based on the play of the same name by Jules Barbier and Michel Carré, who drew from the biographies and works of E.T.A. Hoffmann, Adelbert von Chamisso and Alfred de Musset to create their own artist’s drama. It is not a literature opera – the protagonists from different romantic tales are connected to one another by a fictitious Hoffmann – but rather more of a message to the writer, telling him to make art his matter of the heart, or perhaps even open up his heart with brutal frankness.
Co-production with the English National Opera, London.

| Opernhaus, Zürich, Opernhaus Falkenstrasse 1, Zürich 8008, Switzerland Sunday 9-Jun-13 02:00pm Jim Hawkins dreams of one day being master of the seas and visiting far-off lands. Instead, he is forced to help his mother at the Golden Anchor tavern – day in, day out. When a guest dies, Jim finds a treasure map in his seaman’s chest – the treasure map of the late pirate Captain Flint. And Jim already finds himself embarking on the most exciting adventure of his life. An expedition to Treasure Island is organised, and Jim is allowed to sail on the Hispaniola together with Captain Smollett, Doctor Livesey, Baroness Trelawney, Lily and Scarlett. On the high seas, however, it transpires that Captain Flint’s former comrades have been hired to crew the ship, including the one-legged ship’s cook, Long John Silver. The pirates are also in search of treasure, and they succeed in snatching one half of the treasure map. Once they arrive on the island, a feverish search for the gold begins, during which the protagonists’ luck changes several times.
Treasure Island, by the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, is a classic of the adventure genre and has kept generations of young readers on tenterhooks. The composer Frank Schwemmer and his librettist Michael Frowin – both already successful with their opera for children, Robin Hood – have allowed themselves to be gripped by Stevenson’s thrilling story, and have adapted it for the stage. Their full-length opera is suitable for all pirate lovers from the age of six.In German.Thomas Rösner, Conductor Nadja Loschky, Director Henrik Ahr, Set Designer Fabio Trümpy, Tenor: Jim Hawkins Oliver Widmer, Baritone: John Silver Ivana Rusko, Soprano: Lily Irène Friedli, Soprano: Baroness Trelawney Reinhard Mayr, Bass: Captain Smolett Martin Zysset, Tenor: Bill Bones / Ben Gunn | ||
