In our Lied Matinees, ensemble members and pianists in the foyer of Opernhaus Düsseldorf dedicate themselves to the exciting diversity of international Lied art.

“Light and shadow of the north” flow through this song matinee, performed by Finnish ensemble members Jussi Myllys and Sami Luttinen. Accompanied by pianist Ilmo Ranta, they interpret late romantic songs by their compatriot Jean Sibelius and the Norwegian Edward Grieg, among others, as well as expressive modern works by contemporary Finnish composers such as Aarre Merikanto (1893-1958) and Mikko Heiniö (*1948)./

Liedmatinee

Opernhaus Düsseldorf

In 1900, three keepers disappear without a trace from a remote lighthouse in the north of Scotland. Sir Peter Maxwell Davies based his chamber opera "The Lighthouse" (1980) on this unresolved incident, which retraces the events in a mixture of documentation and vision of what actually happened at the time. Maxwell Davies' composition ranges from the roaring waves surrounding the lighthouse to the chant-like arguments between the three keepers Sandy, Blazes and Arthur that lead to the catastrophe.

Don Giovanni: Is he the legendary rake, womanizer and heartbreaker who does not shy away from murder in his pursuit of erotic conquests? Or is he a radical free spirit whose urge for freedom shatters all norms and spares neither death nor punishment?
