| Eastbourne Congress Theatre, Eastbourne, United Kingdom Sunday 19-May-13 03:00pm Beethoven Symphony No. 5, Wagner and Schumann A concert that has it all: embracing majesty, inspiring warmth, flashing virtuosity, touching romance and fortifying revolution. Be swept along by the processing glory of Wagner’s Overture to Die Meistersinger and the rapturous sweep of Schumann’s heartfelt Piano Concerto. Next comes utterly different Wagner; the intimate strains of the piece he arranged to be played on his wife’s birthday morning, Siegfried Idyll. To end, one of the most iconic pieces in all music: Beethoven’s musical vision of fate, his proclamation of victory over tyranny and fate – the ever-surprising and exhilarating Fifth Symphony. Tickets: £12 - £28 | ||

| Southbank Centre: Royal Festival Hall, London, Belvedere Road, London SE1 8XX, United Kingdom Wednesday 22-May-13 07:30pm Sir Andrew Davis conducts the Philharmonia Orchestra in London Sir Andrew Davis conducts a concert celebrating the exact 200th anniversary of Wagner’s birth, showcasing the British Wagner tradition and featuring one of the composer’s finest achievements. The Walküren (or Valkyries) of the title are an army of maidens who ride through the air on horseback. We see twin brother and sister, Siegmund and Sieglinde, fall in love, thereby committing both adultery and (unwittingly) incest. The former is subsequently killed by Wotan, although Brünnhilde (Wotan's warrior Valkyrie daughter) saves Sieglinde in the nick of time. The opera reaches a blazing climax during the unforgettable Third Act, when Brünnhilde is punished by Wotan, who surrounds her with a ring of fire that can only be crossed by a fearless hero destined to be none other than Sieglinde's eventual son, Siegfried. This concert also launches Wagner 200, a wideranging, London-based festival to celebrate the bicentenary of Richard Wagner’s birth, featuring events from May to November 2013 in association with leading venues and producers. It is the culmination of a day of activity at Southbank Centre, including pop up open-air performances on the riverside terraces and balconies featuring young singers and performers.

Coronation Hall, Ulverston Chamber Music: Idyllic Elgar Ulverston International Music Festival |
Wagner, Siegfried Idyll (arr. for piano quintet by Alfred Pringsheim) |
 | ||
| Coronation Hall, Ulverston, Ulverston LA12 7LZ, United Kingdom Sunday 2-Jun-13 07:30pm Chamber Music: Idyllic Elgar Beethoven’s String Trio Op. 9 no. 1 was written during his early period when he was overflowing with new ideas and eager to infuse his exuberant and bold style into what was the baroque trio sonata. Wagner composed his Siegfried Idyll in 1870 during what he termed the “happiest year of his life”, and presented three performances of the work as a birthday gift to his wife Cosima on Christmas Day. She wrote ecstatically about her present: “When I woke up I heard a sound, it grew ever louder, I could no longer imagine myself in a dream, music was sounding, and what music”! Similarly, Elgar’s Piano Quintet received equally glowing words from his wife: ”E. writing wonderful new music”. Written in the Elgars’ Sussex cottage where they were seeking an escape from a number of worries in the aftermath of World War 1, passages from Lady Elgar’s diary reveal the apparent programmatic inspiration for the Quintet: “a copse of bare trees, sad and sinister”.

| Het Muziektheater, Amsterdam, Waterlooplein 22, Amsterdam, Netherlands Tuesday 4-Jun-13 05:30pm 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.Image credit: Ada Nieuwendijk Marc Albrecht, Conductor David Alden, Director Thomas Johannes Mayer, Bass: Hans Sachs Alastair Miles, Bass: Pogner Pascal Pittie, Tenor: Kunz Vogelgesang Mattijs van de Woerd, Baritone: Konrad Nachtigall Adrian Eröd, Baritone: Sixtus Beckmesser Thomas Oliemans, Baritone: Fritz Kothner Brian Galliford, Tenor: Balthasar Zorn Roberto Saccà, Tenor: Walther von Stolzing Ana Maria Martinez, Soprano: Eva Sarah Castle, Mezzo-soprano: Magdalene Nederlands Philharmonisch Orkest Koor van De Nederlandse Opera Marcel Beekman, Tenor: Ulrich Eisslinger | ||

Latvian National Opera, Riga Das Rheingold Riga Opera Festival |
Latvian National Opera |
 | ||
| Latvian National Opera, Riga, Riga LV-1050, Latvia Tuesday 4-Jun-13 07:00pm The dwarf Alberich renounces love and steals the gold guarded by the maidens of the Rhine. He forges a magic ring from the gold, but it soon becomes the object of desire by Wotan, ruler of the gods, who wants to save his wife’s sister from the giants. The infuriated Alberich lays a curse on his lost treasure – anyone who possesses it will eventually meet their doom…
“The characters in this play about the Ring take every means to obtain power and the right to construct a reality which seems meaningful to them. Even the ruler of the gods, the creator of all that is real and the guardian of its order, finds himself entrapped in the artificiality of his own reality. Throughout the play, moments of strength and beauty, truth and genuineness are exposed as sorry efforts of his conceitedness. The gods have never been so committed to humanity and the humans have never been more at the mercy of the gods – ever since the day they fabricated the theatrical arena in which they continually display and invent themselves,” says stage director Stefan Herheim of the production’s concept.Image credit: (c) Andris Krieviņš | ||

Latvian National Opera, Riga Die Walküre Riga Opera Festival |
Latvian National Opera |
 | ||
| Latvian National Opera, Riga, Riga LV-1050, Latvia Wednesday 5-Jun-13 06:00pm The young Siegmund doesn’t even realise that he is the one who could save the gods from destruction. But his father Wotan, ruler of the gods, has given in to the desires of his jealous wife and sentences his son to death. Wotan’s daughter interferes unexpectedly – the courageous Valkyrie Brünnhilde, whose heart has been overcome with compassion. However, the price to be paid for disobedience is high…
“In his passionate musical drama Die Walküre, Wagner confronts issues such as adultery, incest, betrayal and murder. Almost all of these, however, are motivated by love. In his production, Viestur Kairish focuses on the existential conflict between love and politics. The battle is fought, won and lost in the privacy of Hunding’s house as much as it is publically in an arena. It’s a timeless conflict, as old as mankind itself, wrapped in the hypnotic beauty of Wagner’s music,” says dramaturge of the LNO production Jochen Breiholz.Image credit: (c) Andris Krieviņš | ||
