				01 Friday Macbeth 2019-11-01T19:00:00+01:00 2019-11-01T22:00:00+01:00 <p><em>Macbeth</em> was the beginning of Giuseppe Verdi's artistic relationship with the works of William Shakespeare. His original <em>Macbeth</em> - first performed in 1611 - inspired Verdi to create a then novel piece, entering a new musical realm and risking several stylistic experiments. In many ways, his tenth opera thus represents a turning away from the Italian operatic tradition. For the interpretation of Lady Macbeth, Verdi did not envisage beauty of sound but an expressive tonal language, unafraid of hollow or even ugly sounds. </p> Giuseppe Verdi Giuseppe Verdi Wiener Staatsoper Wiener Staatsoper 19:00 - 22:00 1 intermission Opera Macbeth	02 Saturday Jewels 2019-11-02T19:30:00+01:00 2019-11-02T21:45:00+01:00 <p>First performed on 13 April 1967 in New York, Jewels represents the first full-length “abstract ballet” by George Balanchine. The three parts of the ballet, „Emeralds“ (to music by Gabriel Fauré), „Rubies“ (to music by Igor Stravinsky) and „Diamonds“ (to music by Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky) are loosely connected by the idea of gems or jewels; a meeting with the jeweller Claude Arpels was a significant stimulus to Balanchine to create the work. Through the choice of the different composers, the ballet also forms a kind of geographical retrospective of the life of George Balanchine, who spent periods of time in France, the United States and Russia. Manuel Legris’ time as director is also closely connected with the work: after „Rubies“ (2010/2011) and „Diamonds“ (Pas de deux, 2017/2018), the complete work now appears on the programme as his period of office in Vienna draws to a close.</p> George Balanchine George Balanchine Wiener Staatsoper Wiener Staatsoper 19:30 - 21:45 2 intermissions Premiere Ballet Jewels	03 Sunday Ensemblematinee im Mahler-Saal 1 2019-11-03T11:00:00+01:00 2019-11-03T12:00:00+01:00 Gustav Mahler-Saal Gustav Mahler-Saal 11:00 - 12:00 No intermission Concert Ensemblematinee im Mahler-Saal 1 Don Pasquale 2019-11-03T19:00:00+01:00 2019-11-03T21:30:00+01:00 <p>Take an elderly bachelor Don Pasquale, who wants to try his hand at love again and a clumsy lad, Ernsto who has given up on true love. Add to this a cunning friend called Malatesta with a talent for pulling strings and scheming. And finally, sly Norina who sends people on wild goose chases and saves her relationship with Ernesto.

Writing his own libretto, Trojahn added thoughts from Friedrich Nietzsche's <em>Dionysian-Dithyrambus. </em>The starting point of the action is Orest's committed murder of his mother Klytaemnestra, having been driven by Apollo and Elektra to avenge his father but thus creating new guilt. With <em>Orest, Trojahn </em>wrote a gripping opera of approx. 80 minutes, which has - according to Michael Boder, who conducts the Wiener Staatsoper premiere - musical roots in Richard Strauss, Alban Berg and Arnold Schönberg. To Euripides' drama he added the God Dionysus as a counterpart of Apollo and changed the ending dramatically: instead of Apollo descending as deux ex machina to solve chaos, Orest emancipates himself from the influence of others. </p> Manfred Trojahn Manfred Trojahn Wiener Staatsoper Wiener Staatsoper 20:00 - 21:15 No intermission Opera Orest	15 Friday Ariodante 2019-11-15T18:30:00+01:00 2019-11-15T23:00:00+01:00 <p>A tale of jealousy and intrigue, conflict and betrayal: <em>Ariodante</em>, Handel's first work for the then brand-new Theatre Royal in Covent Garden.

The seditious painter Cavaradossi falls into his clutches and is bound to be executed.

Scarpia agrees, approaches her - and she stabs him to death. But he, too, has not kept his word and ordered to shoot Cavaradossi with real ammunition.
