Die Rückkehr von Luisa Miller an die Wiener Staatsoper

Snapdragon, 16th February

Nach 35 Jahren Pause zeigt die Wiener Staatsoper Luisa Miller aus 1849, also jenes Werk, das den Übergang von Giuseppe Verdis frühen „Galeerenjahren“ zu seiner reifen Schaffensphase markiert und über Stiffelio eine Brücke zur „trilogia popolare“ (Rigoletto, Il trovatore und La traviata) schlägt.

En ce soir de réveillon, les chanteurs en font parfois des tonnes pour caractériser leur personnage, mais le public ne demande que cela dans ce grand classique bien mené par le duo Kaufmann-Damrau.

L'enchantement de Hansel et Gretel au Wiener Staatsoper

Jean-Pierre Rousseau, 29th December

Tout au long de la représentation, on a l'impression de feuilleter l'un de ces beaux livres de contes illustrés par Gustave Doré qui font les souvenirs d'enfance, ou de retrouver l'atmosphère des premiers Walt Disney.
