ALL ARTS Channel Broadcast – Monteverdi’s Orpheus. September 24, 2020.
Original Performance Date: September, 2012, Berlin Komische Oper. Story. See writeup on Gluck’s Orfeo ed Euridice. In Gluck’s version Orpheus is successful in bringing Euridice out from hell. In Monteverdi’s retelling, Euridice disappears when Orpheus looks back at her, and Orpheus “leaves the world” to go to the heavens so he can see her in the stars. Conductor – Andre de Ridder; Orpheus – Dominik Koninger, Eurydike – Julia Novikova, Amor – Peter Renz, Sylvia/Proserpina – Theresa Kronthaler, Charon – Stefan Sevenic, Pluto – Alexey Antonov, Puppenspieler – Frank Soehnle. Explanatory note and caveat: Per the ALL ARTS website, Komische Oper Berlin staged three of Monteverdi’s operas in one single day, including Orpheus. Evidently the brainchild of the then new General Director Barry Kosky. The opera was translated into German, and the music was re-written to include both old and modern instruments (including the accordion). A search of […]

A Life On-Line: Dreaming of the Silver Screen in Montpellier, Weber's Euryanthe in Vienna, Tippett's The Ice Break in Birmingham,
Weber: Euryanthe - Theresa Kronthaler (Eglantine), Andrew Foster-Williams (Lysiart)Theater an der Wien (Photo © Monika Rittershaus) Opera this week included two rather different rarely performed operas, Weber's grand romantic opera Euryanthe from Vienna, and Tippett's final opera The Ice Break from Birmingham. And we also caught up with Ted Huffman's production of Britten's A Midsummer Night's Dream which debuted in Montpellier last year. First off we caught up with Christof Loy's production of Weber's Euryanthe which was originally given at the Theater an der Wien in Vienna, with Jacquelyn Wagner, Norman Rehinhardt, Theresa Kornthaler, Andrew Foster-Williams and Stefan Cerny, and Constantin Trinks conducting the ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra. Weber's opera is notoriously regarded as unstageable thanks to what is seen as a clunky libretto. I have only seen the opera on stage twice, in Richard Jones' striking production at Glyndebourne, and at the Semper Oper in […]

Classical music: The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra’s New Year’s Day concert, with conductor Gustavo Dudamel and new concert attire, will air Sunday on Wisconsin Public Radio and Wisconsin Public Television
[…] Dudamel was famously a product of the El Sistema program in his native Venezuela, and this broadcast will offer a special look at these talented musicians of tomorrow. While the Vienna Philharmonic, which celebrates its 175th anniversary this year, honors tradition and history with the New Year’s concert, it also looks to the future with the debut of its new concert attire designed exclusively for the orchestra by Dame Vivienne Westwood and Andreas Kronthaler . Chairman of the Vienna Philharmonic, Andreas Großbauer, recognizes the importance of linking the past and present and uniting practicality with modern elegance. “In the age of video streaming and HD broadcasts, it is increasingly important how an orchestra appears onstage. In Vivienne Westwood and Andreas Kronthaler, we have found a design duo which suits the high standards of the Vienna Philharmonic brand.” The new philharmonic suit features an updated design to the traditional […]
