She is a woman whose excessive desires lead to her own extinction: The Theban princess Semele is to marry Prince Athamas at her father's request, but falls in love with the god Jupiter, who appears to her in human form. On her wedding day, Semele therefore willingly allows herself to be abducted into his realm. The love-struck Jupiter swears to his new lover that he will grant her every wish. His jealous wife Juno uses this promise for a devious intrigue: In the guise of Semele's sister Ino, she convinces Semele that she can achieve immortality if she sees Jupiter in his true, divine form. In this way, she tells Semele that she wants Jupiter, without revealing to her that the sight of a god is unbearable for a human being. Semele will burn in the face of the real Jupiter.

Semele

Theater Lübeck

When the 22-year-old Mozart was working on his second flute concerto, the later composer of the "Magic Flute" was not particularly fond of the instrument: "Then I'll be stuffed" (i.e. reluctant), he told his father, "if I have to write for an instrument that I don't like." And so he quickly managed to get his client, Ferdinand Dejean, to arrange his oboe concerto - a sleight of hand that of course does not detract from Mozart's cheerful and energetic music.

3rd  Symphony Concert

Music and Congress Hall

At this youth concert, young people get to know the flute in all its facets, because the two works by Frank Martin and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart couldn't be more different. Exciting virtuosity in Martin's ballad meets Mozart's delicate lightness, packaged in the form of a classical solo concerto. With Stathis Karapanos, we were able to get an international star for this concert. The young people sit on the stage at the youth concerts and thus have the opportunity to engage in direct interaction with the musicians.

Youth concert for the  3rd Symphony concert
