Macbeth 2019-10-25T19:00:00+02:00 2019-10-25T22:00:00+02:00 Macbeth was the beginning of Giuseppe Verdi's artistic relationship with the works of William Shakespeare. His original Macbeth - 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.  Giuseppe Verdi Giuseppe Verdi Wiener Staatsoper Wiener Staatsoper

Starting off as a buccaneer he ascends to the Doge of Geneva, shaken by fate, intrigues and class struggles. His wife dies, he looses his child - to retrieve it only shortly before his death in peace. With this opera, Verdi presents on of his most mature, touching and yet uncommon oeuvres: To be enjoyed at Wiener Staatsoper in Peter Stein's gracefully built staging.

Werther 2019-10-27T19:00:00+01:00 2019-10-27T21:30:00+01:00 Jules Massenet’s Werther is based on Goethe’s famous epistolary novel The Sorrows of Young Werther (Die Leiden des jungen Werthers). The operatic version of this tragic story about the unhappy young Werther, who is driven to suicide by his unfulfilled passion for the married Charlotte, has moved audiences for generations. The opera has a special connection with Vienna, as its world premiere took place to great success at the Wiener Staatsoper in 1892! In the current production by Andrei Serban the story is set in the 1950s. French conductor Frédéric Chaslin, who has a longstanding and close relationship with the house, will lead the performance series in September.
