La Traviata
Giuseppe Verdi
staatsoperberlin

Taking Berlin by storm…

Today’s show started late as the baritone was stuck in traffic due to the ongoing demonstrations against right wing parties.
An important cause and worth the wait in any case.

It is already the third time for me to see this production. I was eager to see Jenufa, so I booked Daphne and Traviata as well for this weekend in Berlin.

The staging is simple, yet timeless and I particularly love the big broken mirror in which Violetta can see her upcoming fate. The skull she sees in the mirror is portrayed by dancers in white outfits. They arrange their bodies to form a skull. There’s also the sands of time that are constantly running.

A great cast consisting of:

Paolo Fanale as Alfredo and amartuvshinenkhbat as Giorgio Germont.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

pretty_yende_official was again (having seen her several times in Vienna’s production) stunning as Traviata. Great acting combined with her uniquely beautiful voice. Breathtaking coloratura and goosebump moments aplenty. Standing ovations obviously.
Bravissima! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Kudos to the talented ensemble members who made this cast complete.
natalia_skrycka (seeing this amazing singer on all 3 days!)

Beautifully conducted by speranzascappucci who I haven’t seen in a while. Hopefully she’ll be back in Vienna soon.

Bravi tutti!

After the show I once again did a guided backstage tour. Highly recommended.

A great way to end this opera filled weekend.

Happy World Opera Day 2023

What opera means to me…
It’s more than the music. It’s about the live experience which results in a life experience. It’s about the human voice, the common journey of the people on, in front of and behind the stage, about the sound that brings out emotions inside us.
No performance is the same.

This year has been jam packed with fantastic operas and I’m very grateful to be able to see one at the snap of a finger.

My beloved wienerstaatsoper almost feels like a second home at times.

Another opera house I like to call home is staatsoperberlin as it’s beautiful and also offers highest quality performances.

Two new houses I visited in early 2023 were:

operzuerich where I got to see La Traviata and a rare baroque opera, Eliogabalo.

staatsoperhamburg was also a nice house with interesting productions (Cosí/Tosca). However their photography policy should be revised. Hamburg also offers a great alternative for concert versions of operas at elbphilharmonie where I had the chance to see jakub.jozef.orlinski in Tolomeo in May.

Despite the great bayerischestaatsoper at the Nationaltheater, where I’ve seen some outstanding operas, I discovered Prinzregententheater this summer for an amazing version of Semele, again with Orlinski and another favourite spikelmyers

In June I finally managed to go back to London for the first time since 2019. A lot has changed since then (Brexit), but the royaloperahouse was amazing as ever.

Summer is for festivals and bregenzerfestspiele and salzburgerfestspiele always serve great and unusual performances. I loved Madame Butterfly (with and without rain) and Nozze/Troyens were outstanding, too.

Last but not least, the best curtain call goes to: Semele 🏆

Last Saturday would have been our closing night of 'Don Giovanni' at the staatsoperberlin. I was really looking forward to this production and am sad we were never able to perform it. With such an incredible cast and orchestra, it was certain to be something special. I hope that we will all have the opportunity to perform Mozart’s great work together in the future.

Turandot
Giacomo Puccini
staatsoperberlin

Nessun dorma…
Also a little bit my motto today as I took the night train to Berlin this time. A bit of a bumpy ride.

I felt a little tired before the opera, but as soon as Calaf started to sing, I was wide awake.

tenormuratkarahan was absolutely phenomenal as Calaf. His timbre is high, sounds fresh and has lots of overtones. Bravo! 🙌🏻

This time annasamuil took over as Turandot. It was her role debut and I really liked her interpretation. Much gentler and soulful than other Turandots I’ve heard before. 👏🏻

Similar to Vienna, Staatsoper Berlin has a really strong ensemble. This particularly shows when the small roles become bigger than usual. In this case Ping, Pang & Pong were favourites with the audience. Sung by siyabonga_j_maqungo andresmorenogarciatenor and Gyula Orendt, this incredible trio stole the show.

Another touching performance by olgaperetyatko as Liu. This role really suits her well and she looked stunning complete with bleach blonde wig.

renepapebass was a beautiful Timur with a warm and gentle sound.

I saw this version of Turandot last year, but I feel it has improved since then.
The staging is focusing on the circus surrounding the Turandoll. It sometimes even feels intimate like a ‘Kammerspiel’ (chamber play). Complete with symbolism ranking from Francis Bacon to Charlie Chaplin to Michael Jackson.

Kudos also to to the enthusiastic conductor maxime.pascal

A fantastic last performance of this run in the 2022/23 season.

Bravi tutti!
