From previous concert in Passau:
“Die an der Münchner Staatsoper tätige Sopranistin Emily Pogorelc beeindruckte in Arien mit herrlicher Stimme und war in Duetten mit Villazon ebenbürtige Partnerin. Umjubelte Höhepunkte waren Mega-Hits wie „Dein ist mein ganzes Herz“, „Deine Lippen, die küssen so heiß“. Der stürmische Applaus endete erst nach fünf Zugaben”
“Soprano Emily Pogorelc, who is active at the Munich State Opera, impressed in arias with her magnificent voice and was an equal partner with Villazon in duets. Acclaimed highlights were mega-hits like “Dein ist mein ganzes Herz”, “Deine Lippen, die küssen so heiß”. The stormy applause ended only after five encores”. -Oberösterreichisches Volksblatt

The opera begins with a showdown – a trial, which should actually take place at the end. A boy has died, drowned while fishing with the fisherman Peter Grimes. The circumstances are suspicious, but evidence for a conviction there is not. The acquittal is ambivalent, the stigma of being of a violent nature sticks to Grimes – as if the townspeople believe it should be so, both opponents and friends. Some see an enemy in the outcast, others the object of their compassion. Grimes is faced with ill will on all fronts, like Sisyphus. A vicious circle! It was also a life-long concern for Britten: “… the struggle of the individual against the masses. The more vicious the society, the more vicious the individual.” Everywhere he turns the snare tightens, until another piece of misfortune seals Grimes’s fate. Britten’s first grand opera is an inexhaustible panorama of interpersonal entanglements, illustrated by the world of simple coastal folk, whose seams are only scantily held together. His music penetrates deep into the soul with its tones for the lonesome individual, the unleashed masses and eternal nature.

One wedding; one marriage on the rocks; one scheme; one day.
When a womanising aristocrat tries to seduce his valet’s pretty young fiancée, his wife and servants conspire to teach him a lesson in fidelity he’ll never forget. Plots are hatched, promises made (and broken) and disguises donned, as Mozart’s ‘mad day’ unfolds.
A revolutionary comedy in every sense, Mozart and Da Ponte’s adaptation of Beaumarchais’ banned 1778 play about warring masters and servants takes a topical satire and broadens it into a deeply human drama. The battle between both classes and sexes remains sharply bladed, but the characters themselves are rounded by some of Mozart’s most sparkling music into feeling, fallible and all too familiar personalities.
Director Michael Grandage updates the action to the dying days of Spain’s Franco regime in his 2012 production. Giancarlo Andretta and Nicholas Carter conduct.

Johannes Brahms Ein deutsches Requiem

On February 2, 1865, Johannes Brahms received an urgent telegram from his brother Fritz: “If you want to see our mother once again, come immediately.” At age 76 Brahms’ mother died of a stroke. The loss affected the composer profoundly, and almost immediately he began work on A German Requiem. The requiem mass was a venerable musical genre by the time Brahms began to compose his, but Brahms’ requiem would be unlike any other. Instead of setting the traditional Catholic, Latin text used by Mozart Berlioz, and countless others, Brahms created his own highly personal version from excerpts of the Lutheran Bible and apocrypha. Musically, the requiem was a major milestone in Brahms’ career. Indeed, it would be the longest and most grandly scored piece he would ever write. Few of Brahms’ works display their influences as openly as the German Requiem does; numerous passages clearly evoke the music of Schumann, Beethoven and Bach. At the same time, every measure is unmistakably Brahms. Observe the masterwork in concert with the Iceland Philharmonic in the stunning Harpa Concert Hall.

Is it possible to perform the comic intermezzo “Zerbinetta and her Lovers” and the tragic opera “Ariadne” at the same time? Yes, when you have to. The richest man in Vienna wants it that way. He wants cross-over! Let’s mix up classic and pop – and it works. To the delight of the audience and the recognition of the characters on stage. One of the handsomest and wisest works of the great Munich composer, Richard Strauss, in a production by Robert Carsen. The joy of Strauss!

Chorus and children’s chorus of the Bayerische Staatsoper
Heartache, heartbreak, the whole nine yards – four starving artists – love in a shabby attic loft – the swank boulevards where people live life with a capital “L”, but Mimi is destined to die. Her tiny hand: ice cold! Otto Schenk’s incredibly opulent, eternally valid production continues to fascinate audiences. All of Paris is magically transported onto the stage here. So beautiful you could cry!
