Madama Butterfly 2020-05-01T19:30:00+02:00 2020-05-01T22:15:00+02:00 <p>US-American Lieutenant Pinkerton marries Cio-Cio-San, but only for a short time; a commonly accepted convention at this time. Whilst for him it was but a fleeting affair, for her, it was true love. After his departure, she waits longingly for his return. When he finally reappears, Cio-Cio-San – the mother of his child – realises that he has remarried. Out of utter desperation, she kills herself: “He who can no longer live an honorable life must die honorably”.</p> Giacomo Puccini Giacomo Puccini Wiener Staatsoper Wiener Staatsoper

Fidelio 2020-05-02T19:00:00+02:00 2020-05-02T21:45:00+02:00 <p><em>Fidelio</em>, 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 <em>Fidelio</em> 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 <em>Fidelio</em>, Beethoven manifests his vision that the&nbsp;belief, love and hope of an individual can have great impacts - and even cause political systems to totter.</p> Ludwig van Beethoven Ludwig van Beethoven Wiener Staatsoper Wiener Staatsoper

Der Freischütz 2020-05-09T19:00:00+02:00 2020-05-09T22:00:00+02:00 In all opera literature, few works have been subjected to such extreme and frequent paradigm shifts as Weber’s<i> Der Freischuütz</i>. While some considered him the originator of natural folk style, others regarded him as the “most German” of composers (Wagner); while some considered the uncanny to be a central plot element, others felt that fate or even nature, more specifically the forest, truly played the lead role (Pfitzner). Later people said that Weber was a successor to French Revolution opera, or that with his use of folk song he followed after Haydn and Beethoven. Regardless of all these considerations, <i>Der Freischuütz</i> – a “Romanticopera” in the widest sense of the term – is a popular and definitive work of the German-language repertoire.

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.</p> Manuel Legris nach Louis Mérante u.a.
