The Nutcracker

The nutcracker

Madrid in turmoil. The barber Lamparilla has no interest in politics. But he is in love and becomes embroiled in an intrigue that reaches all the way to the Spanish royal family. A cheerful game of cat and mouse with the authorities begins, fueled by irresistible Spanish dance rhythms and music reminiscent of Rossini and Verdi. In this classic 19th-century zarzuela, which is yet to be discovered in German-speaking countries, social and political tensions are vented through folklore and humor. Christof Loy devotes himself to the best-known work of this genre and brings it to the stage with a Spanish cast and in the original language.

La Stagione Opera e Balletto 2019 si aprirà con l’inconsueto dittico L’Heure espagnole / Gianni Schicchi, due capolavori del repertorio melodrammatico comico del Novecento che costituiranno la nuova produzione del Teatro Grande. L’Heure espagnole è una commedia musicale di Maurice Ravel che racconta, con una sensualità dilagante, una particolare visione dell’amore e del tempo, una farsa dai caratteri ironici e al tempo satirici. È una delle piccole gemme del teatro musicale e sarà un’occasione rara poterla ascoltare, anche perché a Brescia, come si è detto, non è mai stata rappresentata. Gianni Schicchi è un’opera in un atto su libretto di Giovacchino Forzano basato su un episodio del Canto XXX dell’Inferno di Dante e fa parte del celebre Trittico pucciniano con Suor Angelica e Tabarro. L’opera torna a Brescia dopo 11 anni di assenza.

L’Heure espagnole | Gianni Schicchi

That which Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir or Odilon Redon meant for painting, Claude Debussy meant for music. His compositions, teeming with imagination, manifold colours and fleeting atmospheres, straddle two epochs – Romanticism and Modernism – actually co-forming the borderline itself. At the turn of the 20th century, the arts, music included, underwent ground-breaking changes, with opera being no exception. Pioneers of modern music – such as Debussy and Igor Stravinsky – assumed a rather standoffish attitude to the genre, hesitant as to how to approach the “obsolete form”. Debussy attempted to write several operas, yet only succeeded in a single case. The one and only opera he completed is the today iconic adaptation of the Belgian Symbolist Maurice Maeterlinck’s play Pélleas et Mélisande. Debussy’s setting is devoid of conventional grand operatic gesture and effect, giving preference instead to an intimate music drama, with everything decisive happening “between the lines” – in allusions, silence and delicate, symbolic details.

Pelléas et Mélisande

National Theatre Prague

plendor and misery lie close together in the life of the courtesan Violetta Valéry. Celebrated as an enigmatic beauty at lavish Parisian parties, she is forced to abandon her great love for Alfredo due to bourgeois conventions. With this opera about a "whore," as Giuseppe Verdi himself called her, he shocked the audiences of his time. His sharp critique is directed against the hypocritical practices of society, while he imbues Violetta herself, on her path of suffering, with the aura of a saint. With keen psychological insight, director Christof Loy draws inspiration from the aesthetics of Verdi's era. Under the direction of Joana Mallwitz, the young Spanish soprano Marina Monzó makes her debut in the title role.
