Revolution is in the air in David McVicar’s production of Mozart’s brilliant comic opera, starring Erwin Schrott and Anita Hartig with conductor Ivor Bolton. Find out more at http://www.roh.org.uk/figaro Le nozze di Figaro was the first fruit of Mozart’s partnership with librettist Lorenzo da Ponte; they would go on to create Don Giovanni and Così fan tutte. For Figaro, Da Ponte adapted (perhaps at Mozart’s suggestion) Pierre Beaumarchais’ controversial play Le Mariage de Figaro, which at the time was banned in Vienna due to its seditious content. The opera was well received in Vienna but had only nine performances; its revival soon after in Prague was a tremendous success, and led to the commission of Don Giovanni. Figaro quickly entered the international repertory and has rarely been out of it since, admired as one of Mozart’s finest works. David McVicar’s acclaimed production sets the action in a French château in 1830 on the eve of revolution, amplifying the opera’s undercurrents of class tension. The entire household is drawn into the notoriously complex plot, which covers all shades of human emotion: from spirited playfulness (such as ‘Non più andrai’, when Figaro cheerfully sends Cherubino off to war), to deep despair (such as the Countess’s grief at her husband’s infidelity in ‘Dove sono i bei momenti’). But affection and fidelity prevail in this most warm-hearted of operas: the Count’s plea for forgiveness in the final act, ‘Contessa, perdono’, is an especially moving moment.

Updated: 14 Aug 2015

Teatro Real Madrid Verdis bekannteste Oper Verdis beruht auf dem modernen und semi-autobiografischen Stoff der „Kameliendame“ von Alexandre Dumas. La Traviata erzählt das kurze, hektische Leben und den tragischen Tod Violettas, einer Kurtisane der besseren Gesellschaft im Paris des 19. Jahrhunderts. Die Oper zeigt ihre Selbstaufopferung im Kontrast zur scheinheiligen bürgerlichen Gesellschaft, von der sie missbraucht und anschließend verstoßen wird. Verdi stellt der Handlung eine Musik voll tiefgründiger Menschlichkeit entgegen und zeichnet ein psychologisches Porträt der Charaktere und ihrer Gefühle. Hinter dem zur Schau gestellten Luxus und frivolen Vergnügen der 'Menschenwüste, die sie Paris nennen' versteckt sich die Grausamkeit einer sozialen Klasse, die sich alles erkaufen und alles verkaufen kann. Vor diesem Hintergrund bitterer Vergänglichkeit steht Violetta als klassische Heldin, deren Opfer Liebe und Tod überwindet. Die beiden Themen der Oper erwachen in der Inszenierung von David McVicar zum Leben. Das Drama verortet er mit seiner gewohnten Eleganz in einer Welt der romantischen Referenzen, ohne die Perspektive unserer Zeit aus dem Auge zu verlieren. Teatro Real Chor und Orchester Dirigent: Renato Palumbo Inszenierung: David McVicar Besetzung: Fernando Radó - Dottore Grenvil Ermonela Jaho - Violetta Valéry César San Martín - Barone Duphol Damián del Castillo - Marchese d'Obigny Albert Casals - Gastone Marifé Nogales - Flora Bervoix Juan Jesús Rodríguez - Giorgio Germont Francesco Demuro - Alfredo Germont Alejandro González - Giuseppe Marta Ubieta - Annina

An introduction to Andrea Chénier (The Royal Opera)

Order: Reorder
Duration: 6:25
Updated: 29 Jan 2015

The cast and creative team of Andrea Chénier including Jonas Kaufmann, Eva-Maria Westbroek and Antonio Pappano introduce Giordano's passionate opera about the French revolution. Find out more at http://www.roh.org.uk/productions/andrea-chenier-by-david-mcvicar The premiere of Andrea Chénier at La Scala, Milan, on 28 March 1896 propelled the young Umberto Giordano to the front rank of the giovane scuola (an up-and-coming group of young Italian composers that included Puccini and Mascagni). The opera exemplifies the verismo style that dominated Italian opera of the period – nowhere more so than in Giordano's skilful interpolation of different musical styles to provide local colour, from the aristocratic Gavotte of Act I to the Marseillaise in Act IV. The libretto by Luigi Illica (Puccini’s collaborator for Manon Lescaut, La bohème, Tosca and Madama Butterfly) was inspired by the real-life Romantic poet André Chénier, who was guillotined just three days before Robespierre's execution. Andrea Chénier has become celebrated for the lyrical music it offers the tenor who takes the leading role, with the off-the-cuff Improvviso of Act I and his final aria 'Come un bel dì di maggio' particular highlights. But there are thrilling moments for the whole cast, including Maddalena's ardent aria 'La mamma morta', Gérard’s 'Nemico della patria!’ and a host of dramatic duets and characterful ensembles. David McVicar (whose productions for The Royal Opera include Le nozze di Figaro, Faust and Die Zauberflöte) directs The Royal Opera's new production, moving from the opulence of pre-Revolutionary France to the horrors of the Reign of Terror.
