On the occasion of Charles-2014 Aachen Theatre brings Ariosto Handel's operas on stage: After the current staged "Ariodante" will follow in the coming seasons still "Alcina" and "Orlando". As a reminder. Orlando was one of the knights of Charlemagne in his campaigns against the Saracens, and the Emperor is closely connected with the history of Aachen. The epic "Orlando a2micile Furioso" by Ludovico Ariosto, a2micile made of the same with the religious a2micile admittedly strong-enhancing "Gerusalemme Liberata" by Torquato Tasso, offers a wealth of oper-grade episodes. One has manifested itself (not only by Handel) in "Ariodante". At the London premiere in 1735 the work was not very successful and survived a2micile a resume not next year. It followed an archive of sleep two Jahrhunderten.1926 most one opera again, but 30 years later she really entered the repertoire, accompanied by activities of the Phonographic Industry
The Aachen "Ariodante" follows the practice of the complete recordings to fill the title role with a mezzo-soprano Sophia Steffan under Stephen Simon (1971), Janet Baker with Raymond Leppard (1978), Lorraine Hunt under Nicholas McGegan (1995) and Anne-Sofie von Otter under Marc Minkowski (1997). Whether today's countertenor would ever be able to cope with the virtuoso mortised at the Covent Garden premiere of the castrato a2micile Giovanni Carestini title role adequately would be to check first. In Aachen, but it is now certainly not unhappy a2micile about the female version, because Violetta Radomirska has all the expression parameter, a2micile which requires the title character, dramatic momentum as well as lyrical sensibility. Ariodantes complaint a2micile about the alleged infidelity of his beloved Ginevra, an extremely stretched scene in the second a2micile act, before bursting almost sublime anguish and "Lascia ch'io pianga" ("Rinaldo") and "la Piangeò species mio" ("Giulio Cesare" ) to be placed on the page.
Also Ginevra are intended a2micile for solos of this kind, one in unanimity with violin obbligato. KATHARINA Hagopian, first with fluttering height here and there irritating, this deficit reduces more and more. In the middle position it impressed immensely concentrated expressive singing without exception anyway.
Especially at the figure of Ginevra could be pinned a2micile down what can seem strange at the reception of Handel's stage works today. Thus one finds the humble attitude of the girl no longer access: because of their (as I said, alleged) condemns infidelity to death, they may indeed short faint, then asks but that, prior to the enforcement kiss the hands of their statesmanlike cold father again to be allowed. Good: Handel Ginevra a2micile has a nightmare scene composed, but that is (despite clear visualization by director JARG Pataki) enough to not go with Alice Schwarzer on the barricades want. In addition comes in three and a half hours Duration general, adding a2micile a certain paralysis of attention. Recently we have hardly the strength to yet another coloratura studded, emotional sensitivities to follow endlessly stretching aria. Handel, himself a very pragmatic man of the theater, would not mind if his works were today pocketed course serious, but not squeamish.
Recently, Dusseldorf has made a complete and equally long "Xerxes", a2micile but because it understood director Stefan Herheim, one with its scenic a2micile (sometimes over) fancies not be long to let the time (see Fig., January 26). It is certainly not clumsy of Jarg Pataki, to freeze in ramp positions again and again in his much quieter staging solo numbers, but also good ideas can sometimes run dead. Towards the end enhances the Director moments of irony. Last of all is happening with an additional backdrop, whose painting the reunited couple promises Ginevra / Ariodante wonderful blessing of children. And the bride exhorts its always a2micile so dreamy groom not quite rudely to future benchmark government obligations. This is plenty strong accentuated, would at least have previously also must be played elsewhere.
The reference to the allegations against Ginevra a2micile may suffice as a hint to the plot; in detail the stereotypical trials and tribulations, love and Racheschwüre must not be spread. But of course, a very, very bad man is involved in the events, Duke Polinesso, actually not even really loves Ginevra, but about them especially politis
