Everything that Serge Dorny provides in its Yet-the Lyon Opera house, Munich-suspected. Also, this Director’s Coup with an unknown Tchaikovsky Opera.
Lyon/ Munich – crazy or a witch, in the Macho universe of Opera remain the women is hardly more than these two labels. You break in to the world of men, you must pull as Lucia di Lammermoor in her insides. You desire, however, or even dominant, is the same – even patronizing – of bitch, or mage. Alcina name, Carmen or Nastasia, called Kuma. The latter’s heavy against your sisters in the spirit, although but Tchaikovsky kept her story for his best Opera. “Charodeika” (The sorceress), in 1887 in St. Petersburg premiered, knows almost none. And very much speaks for the fact that the changes from now on.
Operncoup, it says so quickly. At the Opera in Lyon, the artistic Director, Serge Dorny Bayerische Staatsoper is in the midst of planning his next place of work, has such happened. The scene of the spring festival is bundles, for the Dorny traditionally three productions. This year, the Purcell’s “Dido and Aeneas” by Director David Marton with the help of the E-guitarist Kalle Kalima and cabaret performer Erika Stucky for the evening, on a dig site game confusion ends bloated. The guest performance of Monteverdi’s “Ulisse” in the Version of William Kentridge velvet Handspring Puppet Company. Plus just said Tchaikovsky.
The must have heard and seen
Dorny familiar to the Ukrainians Andriy Zholdak. Now in Berlin, and Frank Castorf feels connected to. You see, where Zholdak a third way to choose between the simultaneous game, often with Live Videos shown, the game levels Castorf’s production, and the sensual Assoziationswut of Stefan Herheim. And since each of the Lyon-fact Dornys is checked for possible Munich follow from September 2021: to be sure, a Director is to the success of Zholdak-candidate for the Isar. Wherein Dorny weglächelt questions related to such elaborate productions were almost only in the Stagione System, such as in Lyon or in the festival framework realize, he says.
Tchaikovsky’s heroine leads a drinking – and-erotic-establishment. Her Adored Prince Yuri, is revered also by his father, Prince Nikita. The Princess finds the less well, and poisons the opponent. To kill it all off the Prince his son, in order to be at the end of crazy. The short version suggests the duration of hysteria from Absurdistan. Tchaikovsky succeeds but with a score between explosion of color and heart-attacking, long-range Lyrismen a three and a half hour, fine ausgehörtes families and society portrait.
You must have heard and seen. No fairy-tale world shows Zholdak, but the St. Petersburg upper class of today. But it is also not a linear narrative. On stage wagons between the Gothic Church, Upmarket Salon, maid’s room, and dive, always moved and re-grouped, images from the Unconscious or from the Depths of a second to a third level of meaning up flushed. In the midst of the Prince’s counselor Mamirow (Piotr Micinski), the teufelt as a priest through the Happen and like 3-D glasses is wearing: This world is his Imagination, the work of his desires and lusts.
Munich gets a “Rigoletto” by Axel Ranisch
sometimes the border to the confusion is exceeded, the program – and with overwhelming precision. A surreal theatre of hypocrisy, a kaleidoscope of loneliness, of the unadmitted lived and (apparently) pathologically out of emotions. You must give in to it, mitspülen: knowledge is not the result of simple questions as to Why and How. To Danielle Rustioni conducts a Tchaikovsky al secco. Clearly, on edge, with streamlined emotionality and hot running Folklorismen. Dramatic glowing, entäußernde singer requires “Charodeika”, Lyon has it all – whether AVAZ Abdulla (Prince Nikita), Migrant Agadzhanyan (Prince Yury), or the magnificent Elena Guseva (Kuma).
Re, such as, for example, at last year’s Festival Verdi with “Don Carlos,” directed by author and filmmaker Christophe Honoré (and, not least, the young chief conductor, Rustioni), familiar artistic Director, Serge Dorny, so on an artist in the beginning of flight, end of climb. Risky and often unlike in Munich, where it relies much on established Ambition. Wherein, in the coming season, some of the well-Known traveling to Lyon. Tobias scratches, Bayreuth, this year’s “Tannhäuser”-a Director, makes Rossini’s “William Tell”. At the Festival in the coming spring David Bösch shows, on the Isar, for the Opera, Schreker’s “Irrelohe discovered”. The Festival opened by the way a “Rigoletto”, directed by Axel Ranisch – a co-production with Munich.
in order for a state would be at least Opera fact of Dorny. The first and second Munich season, he has already in the box, he says. Meanwhile, the 57-Year-old knows all the current productions and has made himself so his thoughts. Elicit he is, moreover, nothing Quotable. A new “Ring” is not seeking Dorny, for the time being. In the standard repertoire, these characters read, there is probably an aesthetic re-evaluations. Or, quite simply expressed: The – necessary – break the seam.
