Falstaff 2019-01-23T19:00:00+01:00 2019-01-23T21:45:00+01:00 Falstaff is Giuseppe Verdi’s last opera. With it, the aged composer once again tried his hand at comic opera, a genre that he had not touched since his failed opera Un giorno di regno nearly 50 years earlier. Falstaff was premièred in 1893 at La Scala Milan just a few weeks before the première of the first truly resounding success by the young Giacomo Puccini, Manon Lescaut. Thus a kind of compositional transfer to the next generation had taken place. The opera tells the story of the corpulent, down-at-heel knight Falstaff, who hopes for both amorous and financial reward from two married ladies. He courts them clumsily and is ultimately led a merry dance by them. The opera ends with a colossal fugue that has gone down in music history, summing up in music the lesson learned from the work: everything in the world’s a jest. The current new production by Sir David McVicar premièred in December 2016 under the baton of Zubin Mehta. Giuseppe Verdi Giuseppe Verdi Wiener Staatsoper Wiener Staatsoper

Sylvia 2019-01-24T18:30:00+01:00 2019-01-24T21:00:00+01:00 The names of Louis Mérante, Léo Staats, Serge Lifar, Albert Aveline and Lycette Darsonval represent a very typically "French" tradition of the ballet "Sylvia", that Manuel Legris also feels deeply interconnected with. His new version, which at the same time is his second full-length choreography for the Wiener Staatsballett, focuses primarily on heterogeneous possibilities for the unfolding of pure dancing and thus also gives wide scope to picturesque moments that are once again furnished richly in detail by Luisa Spinatelli. First performed in 1876, the work has since been being well known as one of the most outstanding ballets of the 19th century. Manuel Legris nach Louis Mérante u.a.

La cenerentola 2019-01-28T19:00:00+01:00 2019-01-28T22:00:00+01:00 La Cenerentola is based largely on the famous story of Cinderella, above all the version by Charles Perrault. It offers a successful balance of irony, comedy, lyricism, melancholy and fairy tale undertones and appeals equally to adults and young visitors to the opera. For many people, although La Cenerentola was written in very little time, it is the most poetic of all comic Rossini operas. In fact, at the very least in the extremely subtle musical portrayal of the characters, this opera has a singular place amongst the buffo oeuvre. Sven-Eric Bechtolf, director of the current production, has transferred the action to 1950s Italy, or more precisely to a tiny fictitious nation on the Mediterranean called San Sogno, ruled by the slightly eccentric young prince Don Ramiro, who collects expensive cars.

She has sworn off “true love” – until Alfredo steps into her life, loving her with all his heart. Alfredo's father forces her to abandon his son, to safeguard his families reputation. Violetta wastes away, terminally ill, poverty stricken, with a broken heart – when Alfredo returns with his finally insightful father, it is already too late… Giuseppe Verdi Giuseppe Verdi Wiener Staatsoper Wiener Staatsoper
