The opera’s singing and technical apprentices take the mainstage spotlight for two unique evenings of staged scenes. These evenings are fun-filled “sampler boxes” of operatic styles.

The opera’s singing and technical apprentice programs have launched numerous distinguished careers, including singers William Burden, Joyce DiDonato, Michael Fabiano, Brandon Jovanovich, Kate Lindsey, Samuel Ramey, Susanna Phillips and technicians Ruth E. Carter, Alex Davila, B.R. Delaney, Jennifer Good, Rupert Hemmings, Aja Jackson and Jeffrey Mace to name a few.

The Harbour Front Literature Festival is looking forward to an evening between music and literature, passion and rupture, genius and abyss. »Ein Glück ohne Ruh – Alma & Gustav Mahler« is a multi-faceted homage to one of the most famous and contradictory artistic marriages in music history – told from letters, diaries and memories, interspersed with songs by the two protagonists. The actors Corinna Harfouch and Peter Lohmeyer read from the letters of Alma and Gustav Mahler, from Alma’s autobiography »Mein Leben«, her »Memories of Gustav Mahler« and from texts by contemporaries such as Alban Berg, Johannes Brahms, Sigmund Freud, Arnold Schönberg, Jean Sibelius and others. In musical alternation, works by Gustav Mahler and Alma Mahler will be performed by Roman Trekel and Hideyo Harada – a haunting combination of language, sound and inner turmoil. An evening about a love that was exhausted by its own intensity – and about two personalities who left their artistic mark in very different ways.

A happiness without rest – Alma & Gustav Mahler

Family and connection to country, obligation and rebellion, adoration and betrayal, love and war. In the face of catastrophic consequences, how far would you go for love?

“At the end of the concert, half the audience clapped their hands, the other half hissed in disapproval. There were even those who hissed and clapped at the same time.”

Wagner’s Ring Cycle is one of the great achievements in Western art. And at its beating heart – packed with passion, violence, rage, betrayal and tragedy – sits the vast and sprawling legend of Siegfried.

Jeremy Stolle spent 15 years on Broadway in The Phantom of the Opera, and he loves its music dearly. Still, for his concert, he has chosen the title, “No More Talk of Darkness,” which is the start of the ‘Phantom’ song, “All I Ask of You.” He has selected the title for a reason. “I’ve been ‘Phantom’ for over a decade,” he said some years ago. “It’s a very specific type of music and we’ll give them all the favorites, but this is a fun and uplifting show. We have a good time and we try to throw a Broadway singing party that’s a lot of fun. There are great vocals and my band is out-of-sight. We have a piano, bass and drum and three singers.”

Julius Caesar and Cleopatra are one of the most famous love couples in human history. It's no wonder, then, that artists from all disciplines—from art to theater to film—have been inspired by the passionate relationship between the Roman general and the Egyptian pharaoh. The most impressive musical interpretation was achieved 300 years ago by George Frideric Handel in his opera "Giulio Cesare in Egitto," which, with its rich instrumentation and numerous musical ideas, remains one of the milestones of Baroque heroic opera. Now, the work will be performed for the first time in concert at the Elbphilharmonie with a prominent cast.

"Noble simplicity and quiet grandeur"? No way! With their breathtaking operatic shocker "Elektra," Richard Strauss and his librettist Hugo von Hofmannsthal completely turned the 18th-century idealized image of antiquity on its head in 1909. Horror instead of humanism, revenge instead of a feat of glory, bloodbath instead of a flowering of culture: this one-act opera leaves no one unmoved to this day. And in terms of the musical language, Strauss and his mammoth orchestra also went to extremes in every respect.

Strauss: Elektra / Alan Gilbert

They are the most famous pair of lovers of all time: Romeo and Juliet. The Italian bel canto composer Vincenzo Bellini created a particularly beautiful operatic version of their tragic story, whose melodious and captivating work will be performed by the Hamburg Ensemble Resonanz, the WDR Radio Choir, and a top-class line-up of soloists on stage in the Great Hall.

Bellini: The Capulets and the Montecchio / Richard Minasi

Louis G. Kaufman Auditorium

Can one choice change everything? Edgar, just the second opera that Giacomo Puccini ever composed, tells the story of a man torn between the promise of virtue and the allure of vice, where love and desire collide with devastating consequences. Moments of striking lyricism underscore a tale of indecision, self-delusion, and betrayal that leads to ruin. With the MN Opera Orchestra and MN Opera Chorus on stage behind a cast of singers, this rare concert presentation offers a tantalizing glimpse into the mind of a master still discovering his voice, just a few years before his greatest triumphs.
