Parsifal 2019-04-18T17:30:00+02:00 2019-04-18T22:45:00+02:00 Parsifal, Wagners last music drama, has had a special place in opera history ever since its world première. The work, which Wagner described as "Bühnenweihfestspiel" (sacred festival drama), builds a bridge towards religion by creating a stylistic religion of art. The central theme is compassion: Parsifal, the chosen future redeemer, needs to discover empathic feeling in the course of the drama. Thus he can not only save others but become the grail king.

Salome 2019-04-22T20:00:00+02:00 2019-04-22T21:45:00+02:00 Salome, the beautiful adolescent princess, falls in love with Jochanaan, a puritanical prophet dungeoned by her stepfather, King Herodes – but Jochanaan disgustedly rejects her advances. As she dances for him, the lascivious king promises her to fulfill whatever wish. Infuriated by Jochanaans refusal, she demands his head from Herodes. With a heavy heart the king meets her request. When Salome grasps the bloody head on a silver tray, Herodes, horrified, orders her to be executed. Richard Strauss Richard Strauss Wiener Staatsoper Wiener Staatsoper

Fidelio 2019-04-23T19:00:00+02:00 2019-04-23T21:45:00+02:00 Fidelio, Ludwig van Beethoven's only opera, received no less than three world premieres. The third version, which is performed at the Wiener Staatsoper, was first performed in 1814 at the Kärntnertortheater. Beethoven's Fidelio musically resembles a "Singspiel" while also showing heroic traits, the finale culminating in a jubilant apotheosis glorifying the ideals of liberty, equality and fraternity. In his Fidelio, Beethoven manifests his vision that the belief, love and hope of an individual can have great impacts - and even cause political systems to totter.
