Look forward to Così fan tutte, where the Opera Academy explores Mozart's comedy as a moving story about the path into adulthood.

Così fan tutte

Royal Danish Opera

When Goethe published Die Leiden des jungen Werthers in the latter half of the 18th century, an entire generation discovered a new image of manhood – one that embraced vulnerability, powerlessness and the anguish of love. Men were no longer merely soldiers or statesmen; they were permitted to dream, to write poetry, to reveal weakness – and to suffer for love.

Werther

The artist’s all-consuming pursuit of perfection lies at the heart of Franz Schreker’s sumptuously orchestrated opera. We meet the young composer Fritz, driven by a desperate desire to recapture “the distant sound” he once heard so clearly. What begins as artistic longing becomes an obsession. He abandons everything – even his beloved Grete – and sets out into the world in search of the elusive sound, which seems only to fade the further he travels. Fritz fails to understand that the sound he seeks springs from the love of the woman he left behind. The question is whether he will realise this truth before it is too late.

The distant sound

The Royal Danish Playhouse

In Mozart’s masterful comedy of intrigue – a tale of love, infidelity and forgiveness – the artistic trio Anne Barslev, Rikke Juellund and Astrid Lynge Ottosen turn their focus to women’s struggle, across social ranks, for autonomy over their own bodies within a system where the Count seeks to revive his feudal right to the estate’s young brides on their wedding night.
