Olavinlinna Castle, Savonlinna, Savonlinna 57150, Finland Friday 5-Jul-13 07:00pm Samson et Dalila (Samson and Delilah) (Saint-Saëns, Camille (1835-1921)) The best-known opera by French composer Camille Saint-Saëns, likened as a child to Mozart in view of his outstanding talent, serves as a suitable contrast to the otherwise Verdi-Wagner orientation of the 2013 season. Samson and Delilah is a worthy successor to the previously produced French operas on the Olavinlinna stage. The story based on the Bible about the passionate relationship between the victorious Hebrew leader Samson and the treacherous Philistine maiden Delilah generates thrilling tension in this splendid opera. The mighty warrior whose strength is his long hair is totally disarmed by the mezzo-soprano aria, one of the finest in operatic literature, “Mon coeur s’ouvre à ta voix (My heart opens itself to your voice).

Olavinlinna Castle, Savonlinna, Savonlinna 57150, Finland Saturday 6-Jul-13 07:00pm La Traviata (Verdi, Giuseppe (1813-1901)) In honour of the 200th anniversary of the birth of Giuseppe Verdi, the Savonlinna Opera Festival is adding to its repertoire one of the best-loved and most frequently-performed operas of all time. For many an opera lover this will mean a long-cherished dream come true: La traviata at last in Savonlinna! Can a flighty courtesan accustomed to a life of pleasure genuinely fall in love, and does she deserve true happiness? Verdi was clearly inspired by this tragic, beautiful love story about Violetta and Alfredo, built round these fundamental questions. The music of La traviata is some of his very finest: coloratura arias that bubble like champagne, and melodies that play exquisitely on the ear follow one upon the other like a row of sparkling gems, pampering the listener again and again.

Olavinlinna Castle, Savonlinna, Savonlinna 57150, Finland Monday 8-Jul-13 06:00pm Lohengrin (Wagner, Richard (1813-1883)) Lohengrin is Savonlinna’s tribute to the 200th anniversary in 2013 of the birth of Richard Wagner. By the time he came to write this, his sixth opera, Wagner had finally discovered his very own approach to opera as an art form emphasising the unity of words and music. As Franz Liszt, who conducted the first performance, said, old opera had reached the end of the road with Lohengrin – a masterpiece containing some of the most magnificent male choruses in all Wagner. The interpretation created for the Olavinlinna stage by a German team led by stage director Roman Hovenbitzer seasons the libretto steeped in romantic chivalry with allusions to three eras: the Middle Ages, when the tale was originally written, the Romantic era, when the opera was composed, and the present day, an age that craves a messianic savour and heroic idols just as much as in Wagner’s times.

Olavinlinna Castle, Savonlinna, Savonlinna 57150, Finland Thursday 11-Jul-13 07:00pm Samson et Dalila (Samson and Delilah) (Saint-Saëns, Camille (1835-1921)) The best-known opera by French composer Camille Saint-Saëns, likened as a child to Mozart in view of his outstanding talent, serves as a suitable contrast to the otherwise Verdi-Wagner orientation of the 2013 season. Samson and Delilah is a worthy successor to the previously produced French operas on the Olavinlinna stage. The story based on the Bible about the passionate relationship between the victorious Hebrew leader Samson and the treacherous Philistine maiden Delilah generates thrilling tension in this splendid opera. The mighty warrior whose strength is his long hair is totally disarmed by the mezzo-soprano aria, one of the finest in operatic literature, “Mon coeur s’ouvre à ta voix (My heart opens itself to your voice). In cooperation with The Theater Erfurt.

Olavinlinna Castle, Savonlinna, Savonlinna 57150, Finland Friday 12-Jul-13 06:00pm Lohengrin (Wagner, Richard (1813-1883)) Lohengrin is Savonlinna’s tribute to the 200th anniversary in 2013 of the birth of Richard Wagner. By the time he came to write this, his sixth opera, Wagner had finally discovered his very own approach to opera as an art form emphasising the unity of words and music. As Franz Liszt, who conducted the first performance, said, old opera had reached the end of the road with Lohengrin – a masterpiece containing some of the most magnificent male choruses in all Wagner. The interpretation created for the Olavinlinna stage by a German team led by stage director Roman Hovenbitzer seasons the libretto steeped in romantic chivalry with allusions to three eras: the Middle Ages, when the tale was originally written, the Romantic era, when the opera was composed, and the present day, an age that craves a messianic savour and heroic idols just as much as in Wagner’s times.

Olavinlinna Castle, Savonlinna, Savonlinna 57150, Finland Saturday 13-Jul-13 07:00pm Macbeth (Verdi, Giuseppe (1813-1901)) The masterly music composed by Giuseppe Verdi for Shakespeare’s powerful drama, combined with the highly-acclaimed direction of Ralf Långbacka and the costumes and stage designs of Anneli Qveflander together create one of the most successful productions in the history of the Savonlinna Opera Festival. This Macbeth has also been frequently seen on other stages, both in guest performances by the Savonlinna Opera Festival and in rental productions. When lust for power spurs husband and wife to ever more dastardly deeds, an honourable nobleman and first-rate soldier can turn into a human monster who, to be on the safe side, stops at nothing to liquidate any who stand in his way, both friend and foe. This perspective, highlighted in Långbacka’s vision, makes the Savonlinna Macbeth a more human and more “ordinary” character than the one presented in many other productions. And hence so credible and moving.

Olavinlinna Castle, Savonlinna, Savonlinna 57150, Finland Tuesday 23-Jul-13 07:00pm Macbeth (Verdi, Giuseppe (1813-1901)) The masterly music composed by Giuseppe Verdi for Shakespeare’s powerful drama, combined with the highly-acclaimed direction of Ralf Långbacka and the costumes and stage designs of Anneli Qveflander together create one of the most successful productions in the history of the Savonlinna Opera Festival. This Macbeth has also been frequently seen on other stages, both in guest performances by the Savonlinna Opera Festival and in rental productions. When lust for power spurs husband and wife to ever more dastardly deeds, an honourable nobleman and first-rate soldier can turn into a human monster who, to be on the safe side, stops at nothing to liquidate any who stand in his way, both friend and foe. This perspective, highlighted in Långbacka’s vision, makes the Savonlinna Macbeth a more human and more “ordinary” character than the one presented in many other productions. And hence so credible and moving.

Olavinlinna Castle, Savonlinna, Savonlinna 57150, Finland Wednesday 24-Jul-13 06:00pm Lohengrin (Wagner, Richard (1813-1883)) Lohengrin is Savonlinna’s tribute to the 200th anniversary in 2013 of the birth of Richard Wagner. By the time he came to write this, his sixth opera, Wagner had finally discovered his very own approach to opera as an art form emphasising the unity of words and music. As Franz Liszt, who conducted the first performance, said, old opera had reached the end of the road with Lohengrin – a masterpiece containing some of the most magnificent male choruses in all Wagner. The interpretation created for the Olavinlinna stage by a German team led by stage director Roman Hovenbitzer seasons the libretto steeped in romantic chivalry with allusions to three eras: the Middle Ages, when the tale was originally written, the Romantic era, when the opera was composed, and the present day, an age that craves a messianic savour and heroic idols just as much as in Wagner’s times.

Olavinlinna Castle, Savonlinna, Savonlinna 57150, Finland Thursday 25-Jul-13 07:00pm La Traviata (Verdi, Giuseppe (1813-1901)) In honour of the 200th anniversary of the birth of Giuseppe Verdi, the Savonlinna Opera Festival is adding to its repertoire one of the best-loved and most frequently-performed operas of all time. For many an opera lover this will mean a long-cherished dream come true: La traviata at last in Savonlinna! Can a flighty courtesan accustomed to a life of pleasure genuinely fall in love, and does she deserve true happiness? Verdi was clearly inspired by this tragic, beautiful love story about Violetta and Alfredo, built round these fundamental questions. The music of La traviata is some of his very finest: coloratura arias that bubble like champagne, and melodies that play exquisitely on the ear follow one upon the other like a row of sparkling gems, pampering the listener again and again.

Olavinlinna Castle, Savonlinna, Savonlinna 57150, Finland Wednesday 31-Jul-13 07:00pm Un Ballo in Maschera (Verdi, Giuseppe (1813-1901)) Mikhailovsky Opera Completing the Verdi jubilee at the Savonlinna Opera Festival is one of the two works chosen by the visiting opera house, the Mikhailovsky Theatre from St. Petersburg. An opera seized in its day by the censor because of its delicate subject, A Masked Ball has since proved to be one of Verdi’s most popular operas. It has been in the repertoire of a guest opera house at the Festival twice before. The fictive love story built round the assassination of the enlightened King Gustavus III of Sweden is the libretto’s main plot. The king’s secretary, appalled by the sovereign’s treachery, joins the conspirators against the monarchy and gets a chance to seek revenge at a big masked ball held at court.
