Hamburg International Music Festival: Handel's "Solomon"

Elbphilharmonie Hamburg

Reality or magic? The familiar or the strange? Control or love? The sorceress Alcina goes quite far for love: on her island she uses her magical powers to seduce the chosen one of the hour, while those who are rejected are transformed into plants, animals or rocks and thus decorate the island. But then the fiancée of her current lover Ruggiero lands on the island to find the missing groom. And Alcina increasingly loses control, because for the first time she really loves, and her magical powers are visibly fading... With "Alcina", Georg Friedrich Handel created one of his most successful operas. The bewitchingly beautiful, moving baroque arias illuminate the entire spectrum of human emotions: hope, tenderness, anger, joy - and the insatiable longing for love.

Staatstheater Darmstadt

A world in which everything turns out for the best? In which forgiveness and generosity triumph over greed and malice? Who wouldn't want that? In Rossini's opera buffa, this dream becomes reality on stage. The title character Angelina does not have an easy life under the arrogance and resentment of her stepfamily. But even her stepfather, the impoverished nobleman Don Magnifico, cannot prevent her transformation from Cinderella into a mysterious beauty: At the prince's ball, Angelina enchants everyone present. But it is not just Cinderella's disguise that causes confusion - the prince himself also poses as a servant and causes all sorts of comical mix-ups.

Cinderella (La Cenerentola)

With dreamlike, fantastic orchestral sounds, Pierangelo Valtinoni's children's opera, which premiered in 2022, invites you on a journey into the realm of fantasy. In the desert, a stranded pilot meets the little prince, who has been transported to Earth from his asteroid. While the pilot tries to repair his plane, the little prince tells of distant planets and their inhabitants: of a ruler in love with ruling, a singer in love with herself, a star buyer in love with possessions... and of a fox who explains the essence of friendship.

The Little Prince

A myth that is unparalleled: the legend of the singer Orpheus, whose music reaches the hearts of all living creatures, overshadows the man behind the fictional character. Caught between reality and dream, the spotlight and loneliness, longing for love and narcissism, we follow Orpheus on his journey into the underworld as he demands his beloved Eurydice back.
