Singer

A shared flat in Paris’s bohemian world of artists and students: The lives of the poet Rodolfo and his friends are filled with talk of freedom, independence, art, as well as financial hardship. When Rodolfo falls in love with his neighbour Mimì, everything seems to have taken a turn for the better, but poverty and Mimì’s illness overshadow the relationship. The young couple become closely attached. Later they separate, only rediscovering their love when it is already too late. At the time of its premiere in 1896, Puccini’s best-known work broke new ground in Italian opera through its prosaic scenery and everyday subject matter. This staging by Christine Mielitz of Puccini’s fourth opera is one of the most popular productions at the Semperoper.

Maria Pita Square

Can the past be denied and memories erased? After a mass shooting at an international school, pupils, parents and teachers are left horrified and traumatised. The teenage perpetrator is committed to a psychiatric ward. Ten years later, Stela is celebrating her wedding to Tuomas, who she met in her home country of Romania, together with his parents and a priest. She is so happy that she doesn’t ask why there are so few guests. But the waitress hints that there is something Stela doesn’t know – that her groom has another brother.

Innocence

It is hard to believe that the people of Dresden once looked askance at the music of Gustav Mahler. And this despite the fact that Ernst von Schuch had very early programmed the Second Symphony: He conducted three movements in January 1897 and the entire work five years later. The critics were certainly unimpressed, sarcastically thanking von Schuch for not aping his colleague’s efforts at composing: »We have enough composers like Mahler but only very, very few conductors like von Schuch«. More than 120 years later, the picture is quite another: the »Resurrection Symphony«, which deals with the themes of life, death and redemption, is universally acclaimed as one of the most profound works of the late Romantic period.

Symphony Concert N° 9

Based on Voltaire’s satire „Candide ou l’optimisme“, Leonard Bernstein created a masterpiece of modern operetta about the madness of the world. In a witty and lively mixture of opera, musical and revue, he not only parodies traditional dance forms such as the gavotte, mazurka, polka and waltz, but also slyly sprinkles the score with the operatic quotations.
