After the big ballet for the last time to follow, ballet Director Christian Spuck said today at a media orientation, will now be “somewhat experimental”. Specifically: It is a choreography to Helmut Lachenmann’s 1997 chose Opera “das mädchen mit den schwefelhölzern” develop. To a music so, “the man” (spit); and with the composers personally, as a speaker. A variety of concerts and a Symposium complement the new production to an actual laughing man-focus.
Also in the category of Opera focuses on a Contemporary family Opera, one has set Mark-Anthony Turnages “Coraline” on the game plan (Neil Gaiman’s book, and especially Henry Selicks pretty creepy animation film many children are likely to be known). And the Zurich composer and Pianist Stefan Wirth has won a contract for a world premiere: “Girl with a Pearl Earring”, also a literary template that was also made into a film successfully.
The main role in this piece, the painter Vermeer, Thomas Hampson – the return after years of absence, to the Zurich Opera house. Even otherwise, we find some well-Known from the Pereira-time: the Director, Christof Loy, of Donizetti’s “Don Pasquale,” staged. Or his colleague, Robert Carsen, whose “Semele” recently celebrated recovery and now takes on Strauss’ “Arabella” (with Julia Kleiter in the title role).
Countertenor and break dancer
And more with the big names: the audience’s darling Cecilia Bartoli sings only half of the evenings in the new production of Gluck’s “Iphighénie en Tauride”, but also the re-recording of Rossini’s “Cenerentola”. Only for a single night Placido to travel, however, Domingo: The 78-year-old cult-Tenor, became a baritone and singing at 13. October, the “Nabucco”.
the star is line-up just re-recording: Juan Diego Flórez will make his role debut as Rodolfo in “La bohème”; Piotr Beczala sings Lohengrin (and an operetta gala); Christian Gerhaher returns as Wozzeck. But also new names emerge: Such as those of the 28-year-old counter-tenor and break dancers Jakub Józef Orlinski, is noticed in 2017 at the Festival of Aix-en-Provence and has since been a fast-paced career. He will be heard in Handel’s “Belshazzar”. (Editorial Tamedia)
