| Opernhaus, Zürich, Opernhaus Falkenstrasse 1, Zürich 8008, Switzerland Wednesday 19-Jun-13 07:30pm Lady Macbeth of Mzensk 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.Teodor Currentzis, Conductor Andreas Homoki, Director Hartmut Meyer, Set Designer Orchestra La Scintilla Zurich Gun-Brit Barkmin, Soprano: Katerina Lvovna Izmailova Kurt Rydl, Bass: Boris Timofeyevich Izmailov Benjamin Bernheim, Tenor: Zinoviy Borisovich Izmailov Brandon Jovanovich, Tenor: Sergey Kismara Pessatti, Mezzo-soprano: Aksinia Julia Riley, Mezzo-soprano: Sonyetka Valery Murga, Bass: Office Manager Pavel Daniluk, Bass: Pope Tomasz Slawinski, Bass: Police inspector | ||

Described as “a phenomenon” by The Guardian, Rivas was recently appointed Assistant Conductor of the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Under his direction the RCM Symphony Orchestra showcases Shostakovich’s powerful Sixth Symphony and Richard Strauss’ majestic tone poem Don Juan, a seminal work that made the 25 year old composer a star after its premiere in 1889.
The concert ends with Bernstein’s celebrated Symphonic Dances from West Side Story – a masterpiece of Hollywood orchestration which alternates between exhilarating rhythms and beautiful melodies. | ||

 | ||
| Cheltenham Town Hall, Cheltenham GL50 1QA, United Kingdom Saturday 6-Jul-13 07:30pm A Britten Double Bill & Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony Chetham’s, in Manchester, is one of the world’s finest specialist music schools—and so it may easily lay claim to having the best school orchestra in the world. In this concert, they bring together two composers who, for the final decade and a half of their lives at least, became great friends and musical confederates. Years before they did meet, in 1959, they wrote these three very different pieces—two of which at least, Shostakovich’s 5th symphony from 1937 and Britten’s Young Person’s Guide from 1946, have become firm fixtures of the orchestral repertory. Britten’s Violin Concerto, premiered in New York in 1940, is performed here by the hugely-talented 16 year-old, Callum Smart—a Chetham’s student and winner of the strings category of BBC Young Musician in 2010. | ||

Bridgewater Hall, Manchester Martha Argerich and Manchester Camerata Manchester International Festival |
|
 | ||
| Bridgewater Hall, Manchester, Manchester M2 3WS, United Kingdom Friday 12-Jul-13 07:30pm Martha Argerich and Manchester Camerata In a career spanning more than 50 years, world-renowned Argentinean pianist Martha Argerich has won legions of admirers for her uniquely expressive and spirited performances and her fresh, imaginative recordings. Argerich only rarely visits the UK, which is why MIF is thrilled to welcome her to the city in collaboration with Manchester Camerata for this unmissable concert.Over the years, Argerich has established a number of close working relationships with musicians around the world. One such kinship is with Gábor Takács-Nagy, Music Director of Manchester Camerata, with whom Argerich has performed regularly to brilliant effect. This artistic affinity has inspired tonight’s concert, which features three vital contemporary works that showcase the keyboard in very different ways. Argerich will join Takács-Nagy and Manchester Camerata in Shostakovich’s Piano Concerto No.1, a longtime audience favourite celebrating its 80th birthday this year. Either side of this vibrant work, Manchester Camerata will perform Bartók’s Music for Strings, Percussion and Celeste, a brooding masterpiece from 1937; and Arvo Pärt’s rich, powerful Lamentate, for which the orchestra will be joined by pianist David Kadouch, a rising star from his generation. | ||

Lennox Berkeley’s Serenade for strings and Britten’s Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge frame a performance of Shostakovich’s Piano Concerto No. 1, whose witty trumpet part is played by Alison Balsom.Tickets £10 - £12. Shostakovich, Dmitri (1906-1975), Piano Concerto no. 1 in C minor for piano, trumpet and string orchestra, Op.35 Rainier, Priaulx (1903-1986), Movement for strings (world première) | ||
