| National Theatre, Munich, Munich, Germany Friday 1-Nov-13 06:00pm Rusalka feels trapped in a world from which there is no escape. She is ready to put her immortality on the line in return for a human soul, so she can gain the love of a handsome prince. But she must pay for it with her voice. Muted and liberated from her dark world, she is forced to watch as the prince rejects her in favor of a foreign princess – dooming them both. She cannot live, she cannot die, yet nevertheless at the end, she helps the prince find his death with a “rescuing” kiss.
In their opera Rusalka, which premièred in 1901, Antonin Dvořák and his librettist Jaroslav Kvapil mixed the Slavic myth of the undead vengeful woman from the water with such storybook characters as Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué’s Undine and Hans Christian Andersen’s Little Mermaid. The fascinating musical worlds, the lyrical and highly dramatic moments came together to make Rusalka one of the most successful Czech operas ever written. Sung in Czech with German surtitles Tomas Hanus, Conductor Martin Kusej, Director Martin Zehetgruber, Set Designer Heike Grötzinger, Mezzo-soprano: Foreign Princess Kristine Opolais, Soprano: Rusalka Helena Zubanovich, Mezzo-soprano: Jezibaba, the Witch Yulia Sokolik, Mezzo-soprano: Kitchen Boy Ulrich Ress, Tenor: Gamekeeper Dmytro Popov, Tenor: Prince Alina Buratti, Soprano: The Hunter Georg Zeppenfeld, Bass: Vodnik, the water goblin | ||

| Philharmonic Hall, Liverpool, Liverpool, United Kingdom Friday 1-Nov-13 07:30pm The Rest is Noise: The 1970s The 1970s: the decade of disco, big collars, and the Wallasey Tunnel. But three great composers were looking to the future – and seeing magical new worlds. Britten’s Death in Venice imagines a haunted city in music of eerie beauty. His friend Shostakovich heard the beat of time itself amidst the jokes and puzzles of his extraordinary last symphony. And Luciano Berio went back to the future and customised an 18th-century classic into a technicolor orchestral mystery-tour which was premiered by the Orchestra in 1971. If you’ve heard Vasily Petrenko’s performances of Shostakovich and Britten, you’ll already know to expect something very special. If you haven’t, join us in Britten’s centenary year for a different kind of 70s nostalgia.
This concert is part of The Rest Is Noise festival at Southbank Centre, where the concert will be repeated on 3 November. The Rest is Noise is a series of concerts and events bringing to life Alex Ross’s popular survey of 20th century music, The Rest Is Noise.Image credit: Mark McNulty | ||
