Jewels 2019-12-09T19:30:00+01:00 2019-12-09T21:45:00+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

Die Zauberflöte 2019-12-10T19:00:00+01:00 2019-12-10T22:00:00+01:00 Die Zauberflöte is one of the most whimsical works in musical history: a mixture of Viennese Vorstadt Theatre, Masonic symbolism, popular myths and all kinds of fairytales. Over the course of the opera, Prince Tamino faces a quest: if he proves his worth, he will win Pamina’s hand. In the current production, a mature, rationalistic life philosophy is juxtaposed with rampant emotionality, and so, tells a tale of coming of age.

Orlando 2019-12-11T19:00:00+01:00 2019-12-11T22:00:00+01:00 <p>Olga Neuwirth’s music theatre opens a door into the realm of what has been simultaneously&nbsp;experienced, read and heard, of what is known and felt – in other words, into the realm&nbsp;of fiction shaped by memories. “Ever since I was a child I have been interested in everything&nbsp;from the arts to politics, from the sciences to human psychology (…) I have let myself be&nbsp;inspired by the small and big things that the world has to offer, by the wonderful diversity of life, and I see this reflected in Orlando. For it is a love of oddities, of the paradoxical, the&nbsp;grotesque, virtuosity, exaltation and exaggeration that are the essence of this fictional biography,&nbsp;which aims to create a new morphology of narration. At all times it is also about (…)&nbsp;a sophisticated and highly subtle form of sexual attraction that rejects being pigeonholed in&nbsp;any one gender. As well as about refusing to be patronised and treated in a condescending&nbsp;manner – something that continually happens to women, with no end in sight.”</p> <p>The libretto for <em>Orlando</em> is based on the novel by Virginia Woolf (1928).</p> Olga Neuwirth Olga Neuwirth Wiener Staatsoper Wiener Staatsoper

Le Corsaire 2019-12-29T19:00:00+01:00 2019-12-29T21:30:00+01:00 <p>Since its very first performance 1856 at the Paris Opera, this work has been regarded as one of the most impressive of the narrative ballets of the 19th century. The work became particularly popular in the versions by Jules Perrot and Marius Petipa and also through Dame Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev, who made the so-called „Le Corsaire Pas de deux“ famous throughout the world. At the Wiener Staatsoper the ballet has not been performed till today as a whole. On the basis of this tradition, spanning over 150 years, Manuel Legris has prepared a special version for his ensemble. With scenery and costumes by Luisa Spinatelli, the well-attuned team that was so successful in „Swan Lake“ has again been brought together.</p> Manuel Legris nach Marius Petipa u.a.

Hänsel und Gretel 2019-12-30T19:00:00+01:00 2019-12-30T21:15:00+01:00 <p>who hasn’t heard the fairytale about the two little children lost in a wood who get captured by a greedy witch? Engelbert Humperdinck created an opera in a musical imitation of Wagner which is equally suited to children and grownups alike. Fairytale and rich musical language, classic melodies and thrilling compositional skills are combined in this opera in a charming, picturesque production: Hänsel und Gretel is a Christmas classic which never fails to delight.</p> Engelbert Humperdinck Engelbert Humperdinck Wiener Staatsoper Wiener Staatsoper

Die Fledermaus 2019-12-31T19:00:00+01:00 2019-12-31T22:30:00+01:00 Since New Year’s Eve 1900, Die Fledermaus has appeared on the Wiener Staatsoper’s programme at the end of year: a piece of tradition and a musical entertainment theatre classic. “Happy is he who forgets” – so the (Viennese) summary of the operetta goes (incidentally, the only version the Wiener Staatsoper has in its repertoire). The internationally renowned production by Otto Schenk takes the audience on a bumpy ride through all kinds of intrigues, clothing mix-ups and mistaken identities, until we finally reach a rather hung-over happy end.
