Opernhaus, Zürich, Opernhaus Falkenstrasse 1, Zürich 8008, Switzerland Wednesday 19-Jun-13 07:30pm Lady Macbeth of Mzensk Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District, Op.29 (Shostakovich, Dmitri (1906-1975)) Zurich Opera Opera in nine scenes Libretto by Alexander G. Preis and Dmitri Shostakovich after a novella by Nikolai Leskov The young wife of a merchant, Katerina Ismailova, murders three people. She stirs rat poison into her tyrannical father-in-law’s dish of mushrooms, beats her husband to death together with her lover, and at the prison camp in Siberia, as she finally jumps to her death, drags a rival down with her. Nevertheless, in a horrific men’s world of greed, lechery and violence, Katerina is the only figure with a human face in this opera. Only for her has Shostakovich reserved a compassionate tone. The society in which she becomes a murderess is barbaric. With twisted mouths, the grotesque faces of human wickedness grin out at us from Shostakovich’s magnificent score. Lady Macbeth of Mzensk was premièred in Leningrad in 1934. It marks a decisive turning point in Shostakovich’s oeuvre. After Joseph Stalin attended a performance of the opera in 1936, the famous article entitled Chaos instead of music was published in Pravda. The work was scourged as the expression of “radical left-wing self-indulgence” and “petit bourgeois innovation”. It disappeared from theatres, Shostakovich had to fear for his life, never composed another opera, and from then on concealed his true musical feelings and ideas behind a thousand masks. Teodor Currentzis, the spirited Greek conductor from Siberia who has caused a furore with his unconventional interpretations, is the musical director of the production. Tatjana Serjan, famous for her Verdi roles, will be giving her role début as Katerina. Zurich Opera Director Andreas Homoki will be staging his second production of this season. In Russian with German and English supertitles.

Het Muziektheater, Amsterdam, Waterlooplein 22, Amsterdam, Netherlands Thursday 20-Jun-13 05:30pm Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg (Wagner, Richard (1813-1883)) De Nederlandse Opera 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.

The London Coliseum, St. Martin's Lane, London WC2N 4ES, United Kingdom Friday 21-Jun-13 07:30pm Death in Venice, Op.88 (Britten, Benjamin (1913-1976)) English National Opera Two unspoken themes run throughout Britten’s much-admired opera: the impossible passion that a troubled writer forms for a fellow hotel guest, and the cholera epidemic which the authorities are all too keen to hush up. In Death in Venice, Britten revisits the subject of corruption of youth and innocence that so fascinated him and delivers a haunting theatrical experience of consummate power. Deborah Warner’s production of Britten’s final opera celebrates the composer’s centenary year and reaffirms ENO’s position as the world’s leading producer of his operas. This production reunites award-winning director Warner with ENO Music Director Edward Gardner, who returns to Britten following ENO’s productions of Billy Budd (2012) and Peter Grimes (2009), for which his conducting was described as ‘deeply musical’ (Financial Times).

Het Muziektheater, Amsterdam, Waterlooplein 22, Amsterdam, Netherlands Sunday 23-Jun-13 01:30pm Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg (Wagner, Richard (1813-1883)) De Nederlandse Opera 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.

In Death in Venice, Britten revisits the subject of corruption of youth and innocence that so fascinated him and delivers a haunting theatrical experience of consummate power. Deborah Warner’s production of Britten’s final opera celebrates the composer’s centenary year and reaffirms ENO’s position as the world’s leading producer of his operas. This production reunites award-winning director Warner with ENO Music Director Edward Gardner, who returns to Britten following ENO’s productions of Billy Budd (2012) and Peter Grimes (2009), for which his conducting was described as ‘deeply musical’ (Financial Times).

Opernhaus, Zürich, Opernhaus Falkenstrasse 1, Zürich 8008, Switzerland Saturday 29-Jun-13 07:00pm Rigoletto (Verdi, Giuseppe (1813-1901)) Zurich Opera 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. In Italian with German and English surtitles.
