Lantern-Light Melodies

A night full of music and magic – classical music in the gentle light of lanterns

Experience a concert like no other: In an intimate atmosphere, the light of the lanterns creates a warmth that appeals to the senses and establishes a connection between artists and listeners.
Accompanied by delicate harp sounds and gentle strings, this evening becomes a feast for the senses.

Allow yourself to be enchanted by the light accents that act like floating points of inspiration.
Immerse yourself in the world of great composers who tell stories with their music that touch the heart and soul. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Serenade No. 13 in G major KV 525, "Eine kleine Nachtmusik", with its vivid and clear melodies, is one of the most well-known compositions in classical music. Georg Friedrich Handel's Harp Concerto in B major op. 4, No. 6 HWV 294 captivates with elegant lightness and fine nuances that make the harp shine as a solo instrument. Gustav Mahler's Adagietto from the 5th Symphony is a deeply emotional piece regarded as a musical love poem, and with its tenderness, it makes time stand still. Antonín Dvořák's Serenade for Strings in E major op. 22 finally exudes a hint of romance, full of Bohemian folk melodies and swinging elegance.

This unique concert experience combines not only musical masterpieces but also the magic of the moment, carried by an atmosphere that invites you to dream. Come and let yourself be enchanted by a night full of beauty and sound.

Die Entführung aus dem Serail - Lindauer Marionettenoper

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Singspiel in three acts | K 384
Libretto: Christoph Friedrich Bretzner
Duration: 120 min. including intermission

PRODUCTION TEAM
Puppet construction: Bernhard Leismüller
Puppet heads: Sebastian Demmel
Costume tailoring: Bernhard Leismüller
Stage design: Bettina Hummitzsch
Direction, dramaturgy: Bernhard Leismüller

PERFORMANCE
"The Abduction" is a plea for courage, tolerance, and forgiveness. Against an exotic backdrop in the tension between two completely different cultures, Mozart outlines a historical utopia: Reconciliation. "Nothing is as ugly as revenge!" Against the backdrop of racial and religious conflicts that still lead to bloodshed, "The Abduction from the Seraglio" is a very current subject.

STAGE HISTORY
The premiere took place on July 16, 1782, at the Vienna Burgtheater and was a great success. Soon after, the opera began its triumphal march through German theaters: in 1783, performances took place in Prague, Leipzig, Bonn, and in 1784 in Munich, Salzburg, Mannheim, and Frankfurt am Main. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was present at the Weimar premiere on April 4, 1785, and expressed his thoughts on the event with the words: "All our efforts to conclude in simplicity and limitation were lost when Mozart appeared. ´The Abduction from the Seraglio´ surpassed everything." Since then, the opera has been an indispensable part of the world's stages.

Große Reihe | Symphonie fantastique

It was a departure into a new world, both romantic and fantastic. The »Symphonie fantastique« has an artist's life as its program, the audience is up close and personal. And they experience a frenzy of sound the likes of which had never been seen before, so vivid, so powerful and drastic. This artist has fallen in love with an adored woman, sees her waltzing at a ball, seeks peace and quiet on a country trip, has visions of his execution while intoxicated with opium – and finally dreams of his burial, accompanied by witches and grimaces, death bells and a parodied »Dies irae«. Black Romanticism with all its demons enters the music of its time – another merit that Berlioz deserves with his truly fantastic symphony. Before that, the soloist in Béla Bartók's Violin Concerto No. 2 wanders through different worlds – in the elegiac middle movement, whose variations have a narrative character, as it were. Christian Tetzlaff will be the wanderer here, and he too experiences an intoxicating, bucolic finale. The sensual aspect of this music, says Tetzlaff, is simply fantastic.

Es wird auch wieder hell... - Altbekanntes und neu zu Entdeckendes aus der Welt der Operette

The operetta has the reputation of being the inferior little sister of opera. Kitsch, slapstick, and cheap entertainment. However, connoisseurs agree that operetta is the secret royal discipline of music theater, as it serves as a socio-political mirror of the society of its time.
After Offenbach's operetta successes, who became the father of this genre with his colorful and imaginative works, a true flood of operettas poured over Europe. The operetta loudly dreamed of freedom and equality, wrapped in captivating music, garnished with wordplay and dance. During the NS dictatorship, the works of Jewish librettists and composers were banned from the stage as "degenerate." From the witty, frivolous, and international art form, it became a dusty farce. However, the operetta has managed to find its way back to shine and glamour, like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon. It's high time to dedicate this operetta revue to operetta and its creators.

#2 Eröffnungskonzert II: Lohengrin – Oper in 90 Minuten

Soloists Ensemble D’Accord
Martina Trumpp Violin –– Nazar Totovytskyi Violin ––
Daniel Schwartz Viola –– Stephan Knies Viola –– Guillaume Artus Cello –– Philipp Körner Cello
Moderation Axel Brüggemann

Opera is heavy, lengthy, and massive?! Absolutely not! The Soloists Ensemble D’Accord has garnered international attention in recent years with its 90-minute opera paraphrases. They have already proven during the KulturSommer that opera can indeed be entertaining, captivating, and fun. This year, they present Lohengrin as a string sextet, the story of the knight of the Grail who, in shimmering armor, arriving on a barge pulled by a silver swan, fights for the rights of the princess Elsa of Brabant. It’s actually a happy ending, but if it weren’t for curiosity…! Are you curious too?

Oper mal anders - "Rusalka" - mit Richard Vardigans am Klavier

RUSALKA von Antonin Dvorak (1841 - 1904)

Zu Tode geküsst...
Wehmütig muss der Wassermann erfahren, dass seine liebste Tochter Rusalka den vertrauten Kreis der Familie verlassen will, um sich in menschlicher Gestalt einem unbekannten Prinzen hinzugeben. Sie ist sogar bereit, auf ihre eigenen Stimme zu verzichten. Doch der Prinz sehnt sich nach einem Liebesbekenntnis von ihr. Seine Reue wird belohnt und gleichzeitig bestraft. Mit ihrem Todeskuss sichert sie ihm einen Platz unter den Erlösten im Himmel und sich selbst eine feuchte, wenngleich lieblose Zukunft im Wasser...

fundiert und unterhaltsam, anspruchsvoll und amüsant…

Bei Oper mal anders erleben die Gäste die Meisterwerke der Opernliteratur quasi „nackt“ – ohne Sänger, Orchester und Bühnenbild. Man lacht, man weint, und vor allem versteht man nicht nur die zum Teil haarsträubenden Handlungsabläufe, sondern auch die versteckten musikalischen Zusammenhänge. Dies alles präsentiert Richard Vardigans mit fundiertem Wissen, pianistischer Virtuosität und seinem unverwechselbaren englischen Humor - eine One-Man-Show der Extraklasse.

Der gebürtige Engländer studierte Klavier, Violine und Querflöte in London und Birmingham. Anschließend studierte er Dirigieren als Stipendiat des DAAD an der Hochschule der Künste Berlin und an der Accademia Musicale Chigiana in Siena, wo er Meisterschüler von Franco Ferrara war. Seit über 35 Jahren ist er als Pianist, Dirigent und Dozent tätig – zuletzt als Generalmusikdirektor der Erzgebirgischen Theater und Orchester GmbH.
Neben CD- und Studioaufnahmen (u.a. für die BBC und den Niederländischen Rundfunk) gibt er seit vielen Jahren und in verschiedenen Sprachen Konzert- und Operneinführungen, bei denen die Nähe zum Publikum im Vordergrund steht. Mit seiner Reihe „Oper mal anders“ ist er inzwischen in ganz Deutschland ein gefragter Gast.

Nicht nur der Herzog von Mantua wird vom Fluch des alten Monterone getroffen. Auch der Hofnarr Rigoletto wird verflucht. Für die Höflinge entpuppt sich seine "Geliebte" jedoch als seine eigene Tochter Gilda. Diese ist bereit, sich für den unaufrichtigen Herzog zu opfern und wird von Mord-Fachmann Sparafucile erstochen...

fundiert und unterhaltsam, anspruchsvoll und amüsant

Bei Oper mal anders erleben die Gäste die Meisterwerke der Opernliteratur quasi „nackt“ – ohne Sänger, Orchester und Bühnenbild. Man lacht, man weint, und vor allem versteht man nicht nur die zum Teil haarsträubenden Handlungsabläufe, sondern auch die versteckten musikalischen Zusammenhänge. Dies alles präsentiert Richard Vardigans mit fundiertem Wissen, pianistischer Virtuosität und seinem unverwechselbaren englischen Humor - eine One-Man-Show der Extraklasse.

Der gebürtige Engländer studierte Klavier, Violine und Querflöte in London und Birmingham. Anschließend studierte er Dirigieren als Stipendiat des DAAD an der Hochschule der Künste Berlin und an der Accademia Musicale Chigiana in Siena, wo er Meisterschüler von Franco Ferrara war. Seit über 35 Jahren ist er als Pianist, Dirigent und Dozent tätig – zuletzt als Generalmusikdirektor der Erzgebirgischen Theater und Orchester GmbH.
Neben CD- und Studioaufnahmen (u.a. für die BBC und den Niederländischen Rundfunk) gibt er seit vielen Jahren und in verschiedenen Sprachen Konzert- und Operneinführungen, bei denen die Nähe zum Publikum im Vordergrund steht. Mit seiner Reihe „Oper mal anders“ ist er inzwischen in ganz Deutschland ein gefragter Gast.

Zauber der Operette - Unsterbliche Arien und Duette der Meister der Operette

The ensemble has been touring Europe since 2002 and has already delighted over 1 million guests. It is thus one of the most successful operetta ensembles of our time!

Even after more than 100 years, operetta still fascinates with its unforgettable melodies.

A few notes are enough, and the mood brightens, one wants to sing, is simply enchanted by these melodies. Exactly this is what the members of the Gala Symphony Orchestra from Prague do with their skill, with powerful grace and romantic joy, they unleash a true waltz frenzy on stage.
Together with internationally renowned soloists, 2 sopranos, a tenor, and the Johann Strauss Ballet, the overflowing wealth of melodies from the most famous operetta composers comes back to life.

From the wealth of waltzes, marches, mazurkas, and polkas, the ensemble has selected the most beautiful pieces and put them into a whole. The repertoire includes titles such as the "Emperor Waltz," "Who dares to marry us," "Come into the gondola," "I am the Christel from the post," "Little brother and little sister," "On the beautiful blue Danube," the "Can Can," the "Tritsch-Tratsch Polka," and of course the "Radetzky March."

The ensemble includes the long-established and extremely well-known Johann Strauss Ballet. This is an elite soloist ensemble made up of the most talented dancers from the State Opera Prague. The ballet ensemble has an extensive collection of exquisite costumes.
