SUMMARY:Faust - Méphistophélès - Bayerische Staatsoper
DESCRIPTION:On his futile search for the meaning of life\, the ageing scholar Faust makes a pact with the Devil. Méphistophélès buys his soul and promises him eternal youth and love. Faust falls in love with Marguerite\, however she soon leaves him. After she has killed their child\, Marguerite succumbs to madness\, but emerges morally superior from the encounter with Faust. \nOf the numerous scorings of the most famous material in the history of German literary\, the opera by the Frenchman Charles Gounod is perhaps the best known. In the 19th century the French opera developed an immense fondness for the German material\, but it was often very free with the restructuring for the libretto. From the original the successful French librettist duo\, Michel Carré and Jules Barbier (also the authors of the text of Les Contes d’Hoffmann) actually made a most effective opera text with a pronounced dramaturgy of contrasts – drinking scenes are contrasted with intimate ballads\, soldier choirs with the church service hymns of supplication. Not least of all because of its immortal arias\, after Bizet’s Carmen\, Gounod’s Faust has become the most successful French opera. \n  \n \nwww.gbopera.it · Charles Gounod (1818-1893): “Faust” (1859)

SUMMARY:Orest - Elektra - Staatsoper Hamburg
DESCRIPTION:The Gründerzeit: In this bourgeois family\, no one will find salvation. Their lives become a living hell. Elektra – the first part of the Strauss trilogy designed for the Hamburg State Opera by director Dmitri Tcherniakov – is a psychological exploration of the self-destruction of a family clan. Tcherniakov’s shift in focus from myth to family is no accident: Strauss saw a spoken theater production of the ancient myth in 1903\, a free adaptation by Hofmannsthal\, who subsequently became his brilliant librettist for six operas. Even in their debut work\, Strauss and Hofmannsthal dissected what lurked behind the bourgeois facade of Viennese refinement in their time: the abyss. Revenge against Elektra and Orestes’ father will destroy them all.\nThe tragedy premiered on January 25\, 1909\, at the Royal Opera in Dresden. The Hamburg production premiered on November 28\, 2021.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe first part of director Dmitri Tcherniakov’s Strauss trilogy is a psychological exploration of the self-destruction of a family clan.

SUMMARY:Orest - Elektra - Staatsoper Hamburg
DESCRIPTION:The Gründerzeit: In this bourgeois family\, no one will find salvation. Their lives become a living hell. Elektra – the first part of the Strauss trilogy designed for the Hamburg State Opera by director Dmitri Tcherniakov – is a psychological exploration of the self-destruction of a family clan. Tcherniakov’s shift in focus from myth to family is no accident: Strauss saw a spoken theater production of the ancient myth in 1903\, a free adaptation by Hofmannsthal\, who subsequently became his brilliant librettist for six operas. Even in their debut work\, Strauss and Hofmannsthal dissected what lurked behind the bourgeois facade of Viennese refinement in their time: the abyss.

SUMMARY:Orest - Elektra - San Francisco Opera
DESCRIPTION:Grief. Obsession. Vengeance.\nIn a brutal world where revenge is enacted with the axe\, Klytämnestra has murdered her husband Agamemnon. Their daughter Elektra is consumed by her grief and is fixated on vengeance against her mother. Justice must be served. \nSan Francisco Opera’s production\, praised by the San Francisco Chronicle as “extraordinary” and “stunning\,” brings us to a modern-day museum and an exhibit on Elektra. A young woman grappling with her own life is pulled into the ancient narrative in this ingenious production by Keith Warner—a taut psychological thriller in which the past and the present become one. \nMusic Director Eun Sun Kim conducts Richard Strauss’ expressionist masterpiece\, replete with one of the largest orchestras in the repertoire. The intense emotions of this Greek tragedy are rendered on a vast scale by Strauss’ massive soundscape and a score that winds up the dramatic tension with an intensity that can only lead to one horrific outcome. \n  \n \njessicaphillipsclarinet · Strauss “Elektra”\n

SUMMARY:Faust - Méphistophélès - Bayerische Staatsoper
DESCRIPTION:On his futile search for the meaning of life\, the ageing scholar Faust makes a pact with the Devil. Méphistophélès buys his soul and promises him eternal youth and love. Faust falls in love with Marguerite\, however she soon leaves him. After she has killed their child\, Marguerite succumbs to madness\, but emerges morally superior from the encounter with Faust. \nOf the numerous scorings of the most famous material in the history of German literary\, the opera by the Frenchman Charles Gounod is perhaps the best known. In the 19th century the French opera developed an immense fondness for the German material\, but it was often very free with the restructuring for the libretto. From the original the successful French librettist duo\, Michel Carré and Jules Barbier (also the authors of the text of Les Contes d’Hoffmann) actually made a most effective opera text with a pronounced dramaturgy of contrasts – drinking scenes are contrasted with intimate ballads\, soldier choirs with the church service hymns of supplication. Not least of all because of its immortal arias\, after Bizet’s Carmen\, Gounod’s Faust has become the most successful French opera. \n  \n \nwww.gbopera.it · Charles Gounod (1818-1893): “Faust” (1859)

SUMMARY:Der Freischütz - Kaspar/Samiel - Bayerische Staatsoper
DESCRIPTION:In a village community that holds firm to archaic customs\, the young hunter Max must pass a marksmanship test so he may marry his sweetheart\, Agathe. Of all times now when his shooting has been very much below par! Carl Maria von Weber and his librettist Friedrich Kind fluctuate between ghost story\, fairy tale\, fortune play and interplay between heaven and hell. The plot centres around a diabolical ritual in the “Wolf’s Glen”\, where a pact is made with Samiel to cast magic bullets that never miss their target. Its composer declared that the opera was celebrated by its world premiere audience in Berlin in 1821 with the\, “most incredible enthusiasm”. In the decades that followed\, the piece\, at the time considered nature-oriented and traditional-romantic\, swiftly became one of the most performed operas on German stages. And little wonder it was: In an age with a popular yearning for cultural\, national identification opportunities\, Der Freischütz offered a projection surface for an ideal community. So what about this opera appeals to director Dmitri Tcherniakov today?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nChicagoSymphony · Weber: Overture to Der Freischütz
