| Stadsgehoorzaal, Leiden, Breestraat 60, Leiden 2311 CS, Netherlands Saturday 18-May-13 02:15pm Wibi Soerjadi soloist in Chopin After last season’s sublime performance, Wibi Soerjadi absolutely had to come back to The Hague. The Dutch pianist has played in all the world’s great concert halls, including Vienna’s Musikverein and New York’s Carnegie Hall. He’ll play with the Residentie Orkest/The Hague Philharmonic in Chopin’s First Piano Concerto, a masterwork that gives the pianist every opportunity to show off what he or she can do, just as Chopin himself did when he wowed Warsaw with the piece in 1830. The concert will close with Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony, one of the most beloved in the symphonic repertoire, conducted by a favourite with audiences, Santtu-Matias Rouvali. | ||

![]() | ||
| National Theatre, Munich, Munich, Germany Saturday 18-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.

Already known for her varied recordings, from Schubert to Michel van der Aa, mezzo soprano Christianne Stotijn moves effortlessly between styles and here presents two very different sets of songs. Hear Brahms' brooding Two songs for alto, viola and piano and Schoenberg's early atonal cycle Buch der hängenden Gärten. As The Times wrote of a recent recording, 'whatever the song, Stotijn sings from the heart to the heart.' Before joining Stotijn in the Brahms, Antoine Tamestit plays the first of Mozart's energetic two duos for violin and viola with Alina Ibragimova. Queen Elizabeth Hall at 6.15pm - pre-concert talk. In 2012 the Elias String Quartet embarks on a tour performing the complete cycle of Beethoven quartets at venues all over the UK. In early 2011, with BBT's support, they launched a unique, website which openly shares with the public their immersion in the study, analysis, practice and discovery of Beethoven. Their aim was to demystify both the music and reveal how they are preparing for this huge undertaking. Find out how they have fared. Free. The Front Room at Queen Elizabeth Hall at 9.45pm - Borletti-Buitoni Trust 'Out of the Box'. Martin Fröst and friends - watch this space to find out who! Free. | ||
