Aida 2019-06-19T19:00:00+02:00 2019-06-19T22:15:00+02:00 Verdi wrote the four-act opera Aida – his third to last music theatre piece – at the behest of the Egyptian Khedive Ismail Pasha. Verdi imbued his music with apparent local colour by intermittently inserting passages that because of their instrumentation and melody have an exotic sound. The plot revolves around a love triangle, with two women loving the same man: the relatively powerful Amneris and the slave Aida both love the army captain Radames. Another important theme is, “Does love for another person transcend love for one’s fatherland or the laws that bind a community?”, along with the third theme of private happiness being shattered by the inexorable power apparatus of the influential.

Otello 2019-06-20T16:00:00+02:00 2019-06-20T19:00:00+02:00 Verdi remained silent for a good 15 years, and – with the exception of revisions to his older operas – did not publish a single work of musical theatre. But then, in 1887, after an extended period of work, he presented his Otello. Based on Shakespeare’s menacing drama, he created not only one of the most exciting works of opera, but also a profoundly modern one. One that masterfully plays with the emotional states of innocence and love, jealousy, envy and anger. In contrast to other popular Verdi operas, Otello was incorporated into the repertoire of the Vienna Opera almost immediately after its world première in 1888. The Wiener Staatsoper has since put on nearly 500 performances of Verdi’s last opera in seven different productions. This sombre drama has now been given yet another interpretation, this time by stage director Adrian Noble – who has also directed Hansel and Gretel and Alcina at the opera house on the Ring.

MacMillan | McGregor | Ashton 2019-06-21T19:00:00+02:00 2019-06-21T21:15:00+02:00 This evening is dedicated to "British choreography": MacMillan, McGregor and Ashton are three choreographers who represent the same dance tradition. "Concerto" opens in the neo-classical style, offering a great opportunity for demonstrating the dancers’ virtuosity. "EDEN|EDEN" explores the charged relationship between man and technology. The final ballet "Marguerite and Armand" was created for Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev and is now a classic example of the English art of dance.

Tosca 2019-06-23T19:00:00+02:00 2019-06-23T21:45:00+02:00 Rome, 1800: The city suffers from Scarpias, the Chief Constables, reign of terror. The seditious painter Cavaradossi falls into his clutches and is bound to be executed. His beloved Tosca - chased after by Scarpia - strikes a bargain: She answers his desires, and Scarpia will save Cavaradossi by a fake execution with blank cartridges in return. 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. With a broken heart, she leaps to her death from the pinnacles of Castel Sant’Angelo. Giacomo Puccini Giacomo Puccini Wiener Staatsoper Wiener Staatsoper

L'elisir d'amore 2019-06-25T19:30:00+02:00 2019-06-25T21:45:00+02:00 Penniless Nemorino is in love with wealthy Adina. In a bid to increase his chances, he buys a “love elixir” (in reality, Bordeaux wine) from the wonder doctor Dulcamara. His appeal is, however, increased by something else: an unexpected inheritance. Yet, with or without elixir, wine and inheritance, it seems that Adina loves Nemorino anyway. Nothing stands in the way of a happy ending!
