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.

Une inaltérable Chauve-souris à Vienne, le soir du réveillon

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.
