 Opernhaus, ZürichForsythe, Clug, Lightfoot /León |
Ballett Zürich |
 | ||
| Opernhaus, Zürich, Opernhaus Falkenstrasse 1, Zürich 8008, Switzerland Tuesday 21-May-13 07:00pm Forsythe, Clug, Lightfoot /León The second ballet evening of this season is characterised by a sense of inner drama. It combines two milestones of recent ballet history with a new creation, and offers the opportunity to witness the combination of three fascinating dance languages in one evening. The American William Forsythe has influenced and shaped ballet in the second half of the 20th century like no other choreographer. In his work, he explores and crosses the boundaries of dance as an art form, time and again. In New Sleep, created in 1987 for the San Francisco Ballet, three clown-like figures – accompanied by electronic music by Thom Willems – fall under the spell of a yardstick, a potted plant and a collection of bowling balls.
For the first time, Zurich Ballet will be working with the Romanian choreographer Edward Clug, who rose to international fame primarily thanks to his ballet Radio and Juliet, a modern interpretation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet set to the music of the rock band Radiohead. Clug’s pieces, which enchant audiences with their often absurd tempi and their wealth of choreographic detail, have been performed in Lisbon, Zagreb, Essen and at the Stuttgart Ballet, among other locations.
Having thrilled audiences in Zurich in 2004 with their furiously witty choreography, Skew Whiff, choreographers Lightfoot/León now present their ballet Sleight of Hand. The Englishman Paul Lightfoot and the Spanish woman Sol León met in 1987 in the ensemble of the Nederlands Dans Theaters (NDT) and are among the internationally most sought-after choreographers. They have succeeded Hans van Manen and Jiří Kylián as representatives of modern dance in the Netherlands. Paul Lightfoot took over the directorship of the NDT in the 2011/12 season. In the mysterious darkness of Sleight of Hand an encrypted fantasy unfurls; its dance and theatrical roots lie in the story of a family fraught with conflict. The title, Sleight of Hand, is a reference to the art of card-playing. | ||

| Opernhaus, Zürich, Opernhaus Falkenstrasse 1, Zürich 8008, Switzerland Sunday 26-May-13 07:00pm Following the success of the Prague première of Le nozze di Figaro, Mozart was immediately commissioned to write another opera. This time, Lorenzo Da Ponte chose the story of the Spanish nobleman Don Juan. The subject matter had been considered a crowd-puller for more than a century, due in particular to the spectacular demise of the hero. Don Giovanni invites the statue of the Commendatore, whom he has murdered, to dinner, and is swallowed up by the jaws of hell. However, the view of the hero had changed considerably since the Spanish dramatist and monk Tirso de Molina first brought the blasphemous deeds and just punishment of the villain to the stage in the 17th century. While de Molina was still entirely on the side of order, which is ultimately re-established through divine intervention, Mozart and Da Ponte turn the sexual braggart and seducer into a man whose unquenchable thirst for happiness calls into the question the very foundations of social coexistence. Don Giovanni thus becomes – involuntarily and perhaps even without realising it – a danger for the social order, which can be maintained only if it functions smoothly. In their comedy, which is shrouded in darkness throughout, Mozart and Da Ponte do not conceal the price that others have to pay for this kind of self-realisation. However, since they do not pass any final judgement and instead do justice to both sides, their work becomes a drama of humanity of indestructible power and relevance – a dramma giocoso that becomes all the more comic the more the tragic aspects behind the course of events become apparent.
The much-vaunted German director Sebastian Baumgarten will present his interpretation of Don Giovanni in Zurich. At the rostrum will be the young Robin Ticciati, a rising star among the new generation of conductors. Our Don Giovanni is the charismatic Peter Mattei, who is sought-after in this role from the Scala in Milan to the New York Met.In Italian with German and English surtitles.Robin Ticciati, Conductor Sebastian Baumgarten, Director Barbara Ehnes, Set Designer Marina Rebeka, Soprano: Donna Anna Julia Kleiter, Soprano: Donna Elvira Anna Gorbachyova, Soprano: Zerlina Peter Mattei, Baritone: Don Giovanni Pavol Breslik, Tenor: Don Ottavio Rafal Siwek, Bass: The Commendatore Ruben Drole, Baritone: Leporello Lukas Jakobski, Bass: Masetto | ||

| Opernhaus, Zürich, Opernhaus Falkenstrasse 1, Zürich 8008, Switzerland Wednesday 5-Jun-13 07:00pm Leonce and Lena Leonce und Lena Music by Strauss II, Johann (1825-1899) / Zimmermann, Bernd Alois (1918-1970) / Donner, Martin / Schnittke, Alfred (1934-1998) Choreography by Christian Spuck BALLET by CHRISTIAN SPUCK
After the comedy by Georg Büchner
Music by Johann Strauss, Bernd Alois Zimmermann, Amilcare Ponchielli,
Alfred Schnittke and Martin Donner
Swiss première
Christian Spuck has long been fascinated by the works of the German playwright Georg Büchner, whose work stands between German Romanticism and the emerging Modern Age. Taking a coolly analytical view, the author performed autopsies of the human soul, as it were, and as the poet Durs Grünbein put it, “registered the fissures that pass through the individual at an early stage, and certainly not coldly.” From 1836, Georg Büchner lectured in medicine in Zurich, and died here at the age of only 23. Christian Spuck created the full-length narrative ballet Leonce and Lena for the Aalto Ballet Essen in 2008. Zurich Ballet will now perform the piece for the first time in Switzerland – only a few weeks before Büchner’s 200th birthday.
The royal children Leonce and Lena have been betrothed without knowing one another. Both decide to escape the wedding. Leonce, who is tormented by boredom, intends to go to Italy with his companion Valerio and live there in indolence; Lena is persuaded to escape by her governess. The two encounter one another en route – and fall in love. Ignorant of one another’s identity, they appear masked at the court of Leonce’s father and are married.
Christian Spuck transforms Büchner’s subtly sarcastic comedy into a high-spirited, fast-paced and imaginative farce of automata, at the same time providing the danced caricature of the small German state. The airy, at times grotesque pieces of the king of waltz, Johann Strauss, inspire the tragicomic story and underline its burlesque elements, as do the modern sounds of Alfred Schnittke and Bernd Alois Zimmermann. | ||

After the comedy by Georg Büchner
Music by Johann Strauss, Bernd Alois Zimmermann, Amilcare Ponchielli,
Alfred Schnittke and Martin Donner
Swiss première
Christian Spuck has long been fascinated by the works of the German playwright Georg Büchner, whose work stands between German Romanticism and the emerging Modern Age. Taking a coolly analytical view, the author performed autopsies of the human soul, as it were, and as the poet Durs Grünbein put it, “registered the fissures that pass through the individual at an early stage, and certainly not coldly.” From 1836, Georg Büchner lectured in medicine in Zurich, and died here at the age of only 23. Christian Spuck created the full-length narrative ballet Leonce and Lena for the Aalto Ballet Essen in 2008. Zurich Ballet will now perform the piece for the first time in Switzerland – only a few weeks before Büchner’s 200th birthday.
The royal children Leonce and Lena have been betrothed without knowing one another. Both decide to escape the wedding. Leonce, who is tormented by boredom, intends to go to Italy with his companion Valerio and live there in indolence; Lena is persuaded to escape by her governess. The two encounter one another en route – and fall in love. Ignorant of one another’s identity, they appear masked at the court of Leonce’s father and are married.
Christian Spuck transforms Büchner’s subtly sarcastic comedy into a high-spirited, fast-paced and imaginative farce of automata, at the same time providing the danced caricature of the small German state. The airy, at times grotesque pieces of the king of waltz, Johann Strauss, inspire the tragicomic story and underline its burlesque elements, as do the modern sounds of Alfred Schnittke and Bernd Alois Zimmermann. | ||

| Opernhaus, Zürich, Opernhaus Falkenstrasse 1, Zürich 8008, Switzerland Sunday 9-Jun-13 02:00pm Jim Hawkins dreams of one day being master of the seas and visiting far-off lands. Instead, he is forced to help his mother at the Golden Anchor tavern – day in, day out. When a guest dies, Jim finds a treasure map in his seaman’s chest – the treasure map of the late pirate Captain Flint. And Jim already finds himself embarking on the most exciting adventure of his life. An expedition to Treasure Island is organised, and Jim is allowed to sail on the Hispaniola together with Captain Smollett, Doctor Livesey, Baroness Trelawney, Lily and Scarlett. On the high seas, however, it transpires that Captain Flint’s former comrades have been hired to crew the ship, including the one-legged ship’s cook, Long John Silver. The pirates are also in search of treasure, and they succeed in snatching one half of the treasure map. Once they arrive on the island, a feverish search for the gold begins, during which the protagonists’ luck changes several times.
Treasure Island, by the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, is a classic of the adventure genre and has kept generations of young readers on tenterhooks. The composer Frank Schwemmer and his librettist Michael Frowin – both already successful with their opera for children, Robin Hood – have allowed themselves to be gripped by Stevenson’s thrilling story, and have adapted it for the stage. Their full-length opera is suitable for all pirate lovers from the age of six.In German.Thomas Rösner, Conductor Nadja Loschky, Director Henrik Ahr, Set Designer Fabio Trümpy, Tenor: Jim Hawkins Oliver Widmer, Baritone: John Silver Ivana Rusko, Soprano: Lily Irène Friedli, Soprano: Baroness Trelawney Reinhard Mayr, Bass: Captain Smolett Martin Zysset, Tenor: Bill Bones / Ben Gunn | ||

| Tonhalle: Grosser Saal, Zürich, Claridenstrasse 7, Zürich 8002, Switzerland Sunday 16-Jun-13 11:00am Kinderkonzert "Baron Münchhausen" Baron Munchhausen is a liar, a cheat, a scoundrel and a fantasist - an example children should live by! His stories are incredible: he has pulled himself (and his horse) out of a swamp by his own hair; he's leapt from cannonball to canonball in mid-flight; and he's had twelve ducks fly him home before killing them all in one shot. For that last one, all he needed was ham, rope and flexible logic. Baron Munchhausen himself leads the audience through his stories with music from Britten, Grieg, Prokofiev,Stravinsky, Anderson, Boccherini und Mozart. No one's too young to tell a tall tale or two!«Baron Münchhausen» Ein Musiktheater für Kinder ab 5 Jahren.
Er lügt, was das Zeug hält, und schwindelt, dass sich die Balken biegen. Baron Münchhausen ist
ein Hochstapler, ein Schnorrer und Phantast. Jedes Kind sollte sich ihn zum Vorbild nehmen. Seine
Geschichten sind grossartig. Er kann sich selbst an den Haaren samt Pferd aus dem Sumpf ziehen.
Er wechselt im Flug von einer Kanonenkugel auf die andere. Und hat er nur noch einen Schuss, aber
zwölf Enten zu erlegen, schafft es der Herr Baron sogar, sich von diesen nach Hause fliegen zu lassen.
Er braucht dazu nur Speck, Schnur und eine flexible Logik. Baron Münchhausen persönlich geleitet
das Publikum mit seinen spassigen Geschichten durch die Musik von Britten, Grieg, Prokofiew,
Strawinsky, Anderson, Boccherini und Mozart. Keiner zu klein ein Lügenbaron zu sein. | ||

Libretto by Alexander G. Preis and Dmitri Shostakovich
after a novella by Nikolai Leskov
The young wife of a merchant, Katerina Ismailova, murders three people. She stirs rat poison into her tyrannical father-in-law’s dish of mushrooms, beats her husband to death together with her lover, and at the prison camp in Siberia, as she finally jumps to her death, drags a rival down with her. Nevertheless, in a horrific men’s world of greed, lechery and violence, Katerina is the only figure with a human face in this opera. Only for her has Shostakovich reserved a compassionate tone. The society in which she becomes a murderess is barbaric. With twisted mouths, the grotesque faces of human wickedness grin out at us from Shostakovich’s magnificent score.
Lady Macbeth of Mzensk was premièred in Leningrad in 1934. It marks a decisive turning point in Shostakovich’s oeuvre. After Joseph Stalin attended a performance of the opera in 1936, the famous article entitled Chaos instead of music was published in Pravda. The work was scourged as the expression of “radical left-wing self-indulgence” and “petit bourgeois innovation”. It disappeared from theatres, Shostakovich had to fear for his life, never composed another opera, and from then on concealed his true musical feelings and ideas behind a thousand masks.
Teodor Currentzis, the spirited Greek conductor from Siberia who has caused a furore with his unconventional interpretations, is the musical director of the production. Tatjana Serjan, famous for her Verdi roles, will be giving her role début as Katerina. Zurich Opera Director Andreas Homoki will be staging his second production of this season.

This time, Lorenzo Da Ponte chose the story of the Spanish nobleman Don Juan. The subject matter had been considered a crowd-puller for more than a century, due in particular to the spectacular demise of the hero. Don Giovanni invites the statue of the Commendatore, whom he has murdered, to dinner, and is swallowed up by the jaws of hell. However, the view of the hero had changed considerably since the Spanish dramatist and monk Tirso de Molina first brought the blasphemous deeds and just punishment of the villain to the stage in the 17th century. While de Molina was still entirely on the side of order, which is ultimately re-established through divine intervention, Mozart and Da Ponte turn the sexual braggart and seducer into a man whose unquenchable thirst for happiness calls into the question the very foundations of social coexistence. Don Giovanni thus becomes – involuntarily and perhaps even without realising it – a danger for the social order, which can be maintained only if it functions smoothly. In their comedy, which is shrouded in darkness throughout, Mozart and Da Ponte do not conceal the price that others have to pay for this kind of self-realisation. However, since they do not pass any final judgement and instead do justice to both sides, their work becomes a drama of humanity of indestructible power and relevance – a dramma giocoso that becomes all the more comic the more the tragic aspects behind the course of events become apparent.

| Opernhaus, Zürich, Opernhaus Falkenstrasse 1, Zürich 8008, Switzerland Saturday 22-Jun-13 07:00pm Following the success of the Prague première of Le nozze di Figaro, Mozart was immediately commissioned to write another opera. This time, Lorenzo Da Ponte chose the story of the Spanish nobleman Don Juan. The subject matter had been considered a crowd-puller for more than a century, due in particular to the spectacular demise of the hero. Don Giovanni invites the statue of the Commendatore, whom he has murdered, to dinner, and is swallowed up by the jaws of hell. However, the view of the hero had changed considerably since the Spanish dramatist and monk Tirso de Molina first brought the blasphemous deeds and just punishment of the villain to the stage in the 17th century. While de Molina was still entirely on the side of order, which is ultimately re-established through divine intervention, Mozart and Da Ponte turn the sexual braggart and seducer into a man whose unquenchable thirst for happiness calls into the question the very foundations of social coexistence. Don Giovanni thus becomes – involuntarily and perhaps even without realising it – a danger for the social order, which can be maintained only if it functions smoothly. In their comedy, which is shrouded in darkness throughout, Mozart and Da Ponte do not conceal the price that others have to pay for this kind of self-realisation. However, since they do not pass any final judgement and instead do justice to both sides, their work becomes a drama of humanity of indestructible power and relevance – a dramma giocoso that becomes all the more comic the more the tragic aspects behind the course of events become apparent.
The much-vaunted German director Sebastian Baumgarten will present his interpretation of Don Giovanni in Zurich. At the rostrum will be the young Robin Ticciati, a rising star among the new generation of conductors. Our Don Giovanni is the charismatic Peter Mattei, who is sought-after in this role from the Scala in Milan to the New York Met.In Italian with German and English surtitles.Robin Ticciati, Conductor Sebastian Baumgarten, Director Barbara Ehnes, Set Designer Marina Rebeka, Soprano: Donna Anna Julia Kleiter, Soprano: Donna Elvira Anna Gorbachyova, Soprano: Zerlina Peter Mattei, Baritone: Don Giovanni Pavol Breslik, Tenor: Don Ottavio Rafal Siwek, Bass: The Commendatore Ruben Drole, Baritone: Leporello Lukas Jakobski, Bass: Masetto | ||

| Opernhaus, Zürich, Opernhaus Falkenstrasse 1, Zürich 8008, Switzerland Sunday 23-Jun-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 | ||
