| Grieg Hall (Grieghallen), Bergen, Edvard Griegs plass 1, Bergen 5015, Norway Saturday 2-Nov-13 06:00pm 2013 and 2014 bring two critical anniversaries to Norway. This year, 2013, designated the Year of the Woman, leads to the 200th anniversary celebrations of Norwegian independence in 2014, and the fearless constitution which underpinned the nation´s commitment to freedom and democracy. To perform Beethoven´s Fidelio, then, is to make a statement which brings together the composer´s own passionate humanity and will for individual freedom with our nation´s own aspirations; and, of course, to recognize his creation of an iconic female role: Leonore – activist, feminist, wife and heroine. With the great young Lithuanian director Oskaras Korsunovas and a fine international cast, Fidelio makes a critical statement at a time of national reflection and celebration.
Duration: 2 hours 50 minutes. Introduction by Gunnar Danbolt in the Grieg Hall foyer one hour before the performance. Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra Andrew Litton, Conductor Oskaras Korsunovas, Stage Director Rachel Nicholls, Soprano: Leonore Trine Wilsberg Lund, Soprano: Marzelline In-Sung Sim, Bass: Rocco Thorbjorn Gulbrandsoy, Tenor: Jaquino Gianpiero Ruggeri, Bass: Don Fernando Daniel Kirch, Tenor: Florestan Dmitry Lavrov, Bass-baritone: Don Pizarro KorVest Bergen Philharmonic Choir Håkon Matti Skrede, Choirmaster | ||

National Theatre, Munich Goldberg Variations / Gods and Dogs |
Bavarian State Ballet |

| National Theatre, Munich, Munich, Germany Saturday 2-Nov-13 07:30pm Goldberg Variations / Gods and Dogs In 2008 Jiří Kylián created this mysterious, almost mystical ballet for four couples for the NDT with almost the identical team of composers, stage designers and project designers who had realized his “Zugvögel” (“Migratory Birds”) in Munich. “Gods and Dogs”, a puzzling double figure that emerged from the realm of the pharaohs, is a further step into the current cosmos of the Czech choreographer, who says of himself: “I am interested in the borderlines between normality and madness, between health and illness, and the norms which define both. At any moment of his life, a person can be designated as being in the one or the other category. But the precise moment when he is ultimately pushed over the border into pathological madness is beyond his perception.”
The Goldberg-Variations have tempted the widest variety of choreographers to venture interpretations over the decades, and they in turn have discovered the widest variety of valid solutions. One indisputable fact however is that the crown belongs to Jerome Robbins’s 1971 creation. “A terpsichorean play of jubilation”, wrote Horst Koegler after the world première: “the choreography as a paraphrase of space and motion, playing around the music, competing with it… a demonstration of a dance philosophy obligated only to itself, instructions for learning how to watch dance.” Robbins’s unmistakable adoption and casual variation of the classic motion canon, his instinct for structure and his absorption into Bach’s musical cosmos – the physical perfection of ballet transcended into a metaphysical event.

| The London Coliseum, St. Martin's Lane, London WC2N 4ES, United Kingdom Saturday 2-Nov-13 07:30pm Madam Butterfly Puccini's tragic love story tells of Butterfly, a young Japanese girl who falls in love with American naval officer Pinkerton. Shortly after their wedding, Pinkerton returns to America: Butterfly gives birth to a son and patiently awaits her husband's return, never giving up hope. Hailed by The Sunday Telegraph as 'the most beautiful show of the year in operatic London', Anthony Minghella's award-winning Madam Butterfly returns to ENO. With its breathtaking mix of cinematic images and traditional Japanese theatre, riot of colourful costumes, stunning sets and unforgettable use of puppetry, Anthony Minghella's sole opera production has developed into one of the most iconic stagings of the 21st century. Madam Butterfly sees internationally renowned sopranos Dina Kuzenetsova and Mary Plazas (Minghella's original Butterfly) sharing the title role, alongside Welsh tenors Timothy Richards and Gwyn Hughes Jones as Pinkerton, Pamela Helen Stephen as Suzuki, and ENO Harewood Artist George von Bergen as Sharpless.

| Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ: Main Hall, Amsterdam, Piet Heinkade 1, Amsterdam 1019 BR, Netherlands Saturday 2-Nov-13 08:15pm Werner Güra and Christoph Berner ‘Bijna goddelijk…’ Toen Werner Güra in november 2010 in het Muziekgebouw te gast was in de serie Grote Zangers, was de Volkskrant diep onder de indruk van de Duitse tenor. De steevast door de pers geroemde heldere, kamermuzikale akoestiek van Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ vormt het perfecte decor voor Güra’s recital. Hij zingt charmante Engelstalige liederen van Haydn. Met tussendoor delen uit Haydns bekendste pianotrio.
Engelse, Ierse en Schotse liederen waren eind 18e eeuw de grote mode in Wenen. Haydn componeerde een reeks van twaalf Canzonetta’s op verzoek van een slimme uitgever. Beethovens belangrijkste liederen, de cyclus An die ferne Geliebte, hebben een heel andere oorsprong: het zijn liefdesliederen op en top, recht uit het hart. Een mooi tegenwicht voor de lichtvoetige Haydn.
