Le Nozze di Figaro 2020-06-01T19:00:00+02:00 2020-06-01T22:30:00+02:00 What a day of folly! Figaro – count Almavivas inventive valet – is about to marry Susanna – maid to the countess. Almaviva, being after Susanna as hopeless womanizer, dreams of executing the outdated “right of the first night”, the countess tries to save her marriage, the young footboy Cherubino is chasing every skirt in sight. Now add old wedding vows, rediscovered parenthood, intrigues of all sorts, disguises until complete confusion – and enjoy a happy ending!   Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Wiener Staatsoper Wiener Staatsoper

Lucia di Lammermoor 2020-06-04T19:00:00+02:00 2020-06-04T21:45:00+02:00 <p>As was so often the case, Donizetti composed <em>Lucia di Lammermoor </em>in the record time of just a few weeks. Nevertheless, with this opera he created one of the most important and popular masterpieces of Italian romantic opera. <em>Lucia di Lammermoor</em> flourishes not only because of its melodic richness and its characters drawn concisely through the music; Donizetti skilfully softened the prescribed rigid structures of bel canto opera and placed his protagonists Lucia-Edgardo-Enrico in the emotional triangle of love, hate and passion. The opera was part of the core repertoire at the Wiener Staatsoper until 1926 and then again from 1978, offering generations of singers the possibility of proving themselves in the ultimate art of bel canto.</p> Gaetano Donizetti Gaetano Donizetti Wiener Staatsoper Wiener Staatsoper

Sylvia 2020-06-06T19:00:00+02:00 2020-06-06T21:30:00+02:00 <p>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.</p> Manuel Legris nach Louis Mérante u.a.

Aida 2020-06-09T19:00:00+02:00 2020-06-09T22:15:00+02:00 Verdi wrote the four-act opera <i>Aida</i> – 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.

Falstaff 2020-06-30T19:00:00+02:00 2020-06-30T21:45:00+02:00 <p>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 <em>Un giorno di regno</em> 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, <em>Manon Lescaut</em>. 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.</p> Giuseppe Verdi Giuseppe Verdi Wiener Staatsoper Wiener Staatsoper
