| Het Muziektheater, Amsterdam, Waterlooplein 22, Amsterdam, Netherlands Friday 5-Jul-13 07:30pm Thomas Mann’s novella Der Tod in Venedig was the inspiration for Britten’s last opera. Gustav Aschenbach, an aging author, is increasingly tormented by artistic self-doubt. He travels to Venice. The god Dionysus appears to him in six different guises, now benignly seductive, now confrontational and combative, accompanying Aschenbach towards death. In Venice the author comes face to face with the personification of beauty: the Polish youth Tadzio, for whom he feels a strong attraction. Here Britten reveals, with uncommon openness, the personal struggles of the social outsider. In the musical accompaniment, Britten uses the orchestra to support the realistic storyline, while exotic gamelan instruments depict Tadzio’s beauty. The youth, incidentally, remains mute throughout, and Aschenbach’s monologues are accompanied by a single piano. The composer’s conclusion is that beauty and perfection inevitably go hand and hand with loss and ruination.

| National Theatre, Munich, Munich, Germany Sunday 21-Jul-13 07:00pm Oper in sieben Bildern
Die monumentale Großstadt Babylon wird zum Schauplatz eines zivilisatorischen Umbruchs im Moment des Aufeinanderprallens zweier Kulturen: Während die Babylonier noch das Menschenopfer praktizieren, haben die Juden, die hier im Exil festsitzen, es bereits abgeschafft. Die Oper verfolgt diesen Konflikt über die Liebe des Exilanten Tammu zur Babylonierin Inanna, Priesterin im Tempel der freien Liebe. Als die Götter im Weltall Chaos entfesseln, werden auch die Tage auf der Erde wirr, Meteoritenhagel bedrohen die Menschen, der Euphrat verlässt sein Bett, es kommt zur Sintflut. Der Priesterkönig verspricht Ruhe und Ordnung zwischen Himmel und Erde durch ein Menschenopfer, die Babylonier begehen dies in einem rauschhaften Fest. Inanna aber steigt hinab in die Unterwelt, um den geopferten Tammu zurück ins Leben zu holen und sich mit ihm zu vereinigen. Am Ende siegt die Liebe und Versöhnung zwischen dem Himmel und den Menschen löst das alte Opfer ab. Eine vertragliche Übereinkunft begründet eine neue Weltordnung, in der wir uns noch heute befinden: die auf geordnete Wiederkehr beruhende 7-Tage-Woche.
Der Komponist Jörg Widmann trug lange die Idee einer Oper zu Babylon in sich. Seine ursprüngliche Faszination wurde geweckt von dem völlig anderen, für uns kaum beschreibbaren Liebeskonzept im vorantiken Mesopotamien. Die Liebe zwischen Tammu und Inanna geht zurück auf eines der legendärsten mythologischen Liebespaare der Babylonischen Antike, das schon Mozarts Zauberflöten-Dichter Schikaneder inspiriert hat: zwischen dem Helden Tammuzi und Inanna, Göttin der Liebe und des Krieges.

Celebrating a new European equilibrium, this music gains extra symbolic significance because of its performers. The European training orchestra EUBO is made up of young musicians from across Europe. For years EUBO has consistently demonstrated that it gives a tremendous boost to the Baroque musicians of the future. This project has been financed with the support of the European Commission. | ||

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.

Bach’s sons, this might be a good chance to start. J.C.F. Bach is not well known (much of his music was lost in a WWII bombing raid), but his 20th symphony is a perfect example of the late rococo, particularly in his use of the winds. Ton Koopman has been a leading force in authentic-practice Baroque music for more than 3 decades. | ||

| Opernhaus Bonn, Am Boeselagerhof 1, 53111 Bonn Bonn, Germany Sunday 29-Sep-13 06:00pm Written on skin (Benjamin, George (b. 1960)) (Oper in three parts to words by Martin Crimp based on a 13th-century legend "Guillem de Cabestanh - Le cœur mangé") After its premiere at the 2012 Aix-en-Provence Festival, the opera “Written on Skin” by the British composer George Benjamin was performed in rapid succession in Amsterdam, Toulouse, Florence and London – and got rave reviews everywhere. The work, based on a thirteenth-century legend, describes the thorny path of a woman on a journey to find herself, and at the same time plumbs the limits of power that one human being can exert on another. The highly expressive, irresistible music accompanies the writing of a book, which, “written on skin”, finally brings about the death of its creator. The production opens the first season under the new general director Bernhard Helmich.
Additional Information: Presented by Theater Bonn in co-operation with Beethovenfest Bonn.
