| Opernhaus, Zürich, Opernhaus Falkenstrasse 1, Zürich 8008, Switzerland Tuesday 2-Jul-13 07:00pm Libretto by Felice Romani after the novel L’Etrangère
By Charles-Victor Prévost Vicomte d’Arlincourt
Vincenzo Bellini’s operas La sonnambula and Norma have become classics of the bel canto repertoire. La straniera, on the other hand, which Bellini wrote at the age of 27, is rarely seen on the operatic stage, although the highly romantic melodramma moved the audience to veritable raptures during its 1829 première performance at Milan’s Teatro alla Scala. To a libretto by Felice Romani, the opera revolves around a heavily veiled, mysterious stranger who passes through the country. The local inhabitants are afraid of her and believe that she is possessed by the devil. By contrast, Count Arturo, who is just about to marry Isoletta, finds her irresistibly attractive. He has no idea that the stranger is the banished wife of the King of France.
La straniera marks Bellini’s renunciation of Rossini’s opulent style in favour of pure, expressive melody, as Verdi praised in Bellini’s work: “Vi sono melodie lunghe lunghe lunghe, come nessuno ha fatto prima di lui” (There are long, long, melodies like no-one has ever written before him). Richard Wagner was also full of admiration for Bellini’s melodic invention and “genuine passion and sentiment”, and declared that the right singer need only stand up and sing, “and the audience will be in raptures.”
In Zurich’s new production of La straniera, the stage will be graced by Edita Gruberova, the prima donna assoluta of bel canto par excellence. She will be giving her stage début as Alaide at Zurich Opera House, and will continue her successful collaboration with the director Christof Loy in Zurich after productions of Lucrezia Borgia and Roberto Devereux at the Bavarian State Opera. Fabio Luisi, who has frequently championed rarely performed bel canto works, will conduct the production.In Italian with German and English surtitles.Co-production with Theater an der Wien.Fabio Luisi, Conductor Christof Loy, Director Annette Kurz, Set Designer Edita Gruberová, Soprano: Alaide Véronica Simeoni, Soprano: Isoletta Gregory Kunde, Tenor: Count Arturo of Ravenstel Franco Vassallo, Baritone: Baron Valdeburgo Benjamin Bernheim, Tenor: Osburgo Pavel Daniluk, Bass: Signore di Montolino | ||

National Theatre, Munich Forever Young |
Bavarian State Ballet |
 | ||
| National Theatre, Munich, Munich, Germany Tuesday 2-Jul-13 07:30pm Forever Young Forever Young – the title of a mixed-bill program featuring José Limón’s The Moor‘s Pavane and Choreartium by Léonide Massine, with a hint of irony, reflects on a central theme of dance research which recently has been strongly endorsed by the National Culture Foundation: What is dance heritage and how do we pass it on? How do we handle the responsibility of keeping alive the legacies created by past choreographers? When the quality of the work itself transcends all of its contemporary ties and cross-references, it carries over seamlessly to the next generation: it is indeed Forever young… A certain part of this legacy arguably is to be kept in archives – the rest needs to stay alive through performance.
The Bavarian State Ballet responds to the call for innovation in dance during the season by dedicating it to the classic modernity as well as challenging its audience’s perceptions with original contemporary works. With his masterpiece Choreartium, originating from the tradition of the Ballets Russes, choreographer Léonide Massine laid the groundwork for future artists by visualizing music through dance. Thereby, he created unsentimental works that, apart from their metaphysical content, stand for pure aesthetic 'material' which will be accessible to many generations to come. José Limón’s ballet The Moor‘s Pavane, a take on Shakespeare’s drama between Otello and Desdemona, focuses on the human inability to love, trust and his lack of compassion and empathy. To this day, the ballet by Mexican-American choreographer José Limón from 1949 is considered one of the key-repertory pieces of American Modern dance.Image credit: José Limón | ||

| Pittville Pump Room, Cheltenham, Cheltenham GL52 3JE, United Kingdom Wednesday 3-Jul-13 11:00am Schubert, Mozart and Dvorak from the Belceas It is a great pleasure to welcome the Belcea Quartet back to Cheltenham for the opening concert of the 69th Music Festival. Cheltenham performances by the Belceas a decade or more ago played a large part in establishing the quartet, now indisputably one of the world’s most acclaimed chamber ensembles. After music by Schubert and Mozart for three and four, much-admired Austrian pianist Till Fellner makes up a five for Dvorak’s beloved, bountifully melodic quintet. | ||
