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 Tuesday 9-Jul-13 07:30pm Beethoven & Britten from the Elias Quartet We welcome back the evermore assured Elias Quartet to complete the Britten quartet series with a performance of his last completed work, Written soon after his final opera, Death in Venice, it is subtitled La Serenissima, and has a poignant sense of summation. According to John Bridcut, in his superb new ‘pocket guide’ Essential Britten (Faber), the middle movement ‘contains the most utterly beautiful – and fascinating – sounds That Britten ever wrote.’ Partnering this is another late work, one of Beethoven’s final pieces, and part of an extraordinary chamber music canon which the Elias Quartet are exploring comprehensively in the coming years. | ||

| Edinburgh Festival Theatre, Edinburgh EH8 9FT, United Kingdom Saturday 24-Aug-13 07:15pm Dido and Aeneas and Bluebeard's Castle Desire, obsession and doomed love: Oper Frankfurt’s striking double bill brings together two one-act operas separated by more than 200 years of musical history, yet united in their searing explorations of human relationships.Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas is a poignant masterpiece of early English opera that features some of the composer’s most heartfelt music. After reluctantly falling in love with the warrior Aeneas as he travels home from the Trojan Wars, Dido is brutally rejected when he is later deceived into leaving her. Bartók’s hugely powerful opera Bluebeard’s Castle depicts the tragic Judith obsessively opening a series of mysterious doors in her recently betrothed’s castle to discover the fate of his former wives. In a sumptuous score, Bartók paints vivid musical pictures of the castle’s sinister rooms, while also conveying the psychological subtleties of his two protagonists. The daring, visually arresting productions by Australian director Barrie Kosky combine intimacy and grandeur, and conductor Constantinos Carydis leads an exceptional cast of acclaimed soloists.

The ensemble specialises in the grand motet: sacred music on a monumental scale with choir, orchestra and soloists. In fact, not so typically French music. Le Parnasse français demonstrates how Lully’s model was disseminated: from Clérambault in Paris, via Purcell in London (My beloved spake) and Biffi in Venice, to Telemann in Hamburg. The ensemble takes us on a European journey, on the trail of a riveting musical genre characterised by pomp and splendour. Programme to include: Works by Biffi, Antonio Works by Telemann, Georg Philipp (1681-1767) | ||

| Klosterkirche Hennef, Bonn, Klosterstraße 2, 53773 Hennef (Sieg) Bonn, Germany Sunday 15-Sep-13 06:00pm "Repeat it!" With “Repeat it!” the recorder player Dorothee Oberlinger and the violinist Rüdiger Lotter have worked out a programme that spans the period between Hildegard von Bingen to the Baroque and on to the present day, and focuses on the idea of the ostinato. Above these constantly repeated bass and harmony foundations their two instruments enter into furious rivalry. The abbey church in Hennef provides a fitting context for this timeless musical style, and allows listeners to experience its meditative effect.

| Beethovenhalle, Bonn, 53113 Bonn, Germany Tuesday 17-Sep-13 08:00pm Music for a Good Cause World Doctors Orchestra – the WDO really does exist, and it is far more than an amateur orchestra. It was formed in 2007 by the Berlin professor of medicine Stefan Willich, who was appointed Rector of the Hanns Eisler Academy of Music in Berlin in 2012; he has conducted the orchestra since its inception. Twice a year, doctors come from all over the world to rehearse and give concerts together. The outstanding standard of the orchestra is underscored by the fact that in Bonn two internationally celebrated solo singers are joining up with the orchestra: Jochen Kowalski, who ushered in the countertenor revival 30 years ago, and Donna Brown.
