SND Opera these days finalizing preparations premiere of Giacomo Puccini's opera La Boheme. Our first scene invite you to the staging of the legendary German opera director Peter Konwitschny. Musically this work staged musical director of opera IMG Friedrich Haider.
The first invitation to Bratislava Peter Konwitschny adopted in 2004 by Marian Chudovský. In 2007 in Bratislava staged Puccini's Madama Butterfly, and now under the directorial guidance established in SND Opera productions of Puccini's La Boheme. Peter Konwitschny houses in the near term to Bratislava still return to the National Theatre Opera Production of preparing a new thing Macropulos by Leos Janacek.
La Boheme Puccini's fourth opera but already the second, after which Manon Lescaut was an immediate success. Models for the libretto of love romantic houses drama La Boheme is a book of French writer Henri Murger Scenes from the Life of God. Wrote the Italian libretto by Giuseppe Giacosa and writers Luigi Illica. Opera had its world premiere on Feb. 1, 1896 in Turin (Italy). Unlike The opera, where the story of the death of Mimi goes on and protagonists live their lives, opera ends here, which is the hallmark houses of Puccini's operas. houses
Bohemia is part of the world opera repertoire and is the most frequently quoted opera. houses Regular matinee premiere, which took place Sunday, Jan. 26 in the new building of the Slovak National Theatre hosted by Vladimir dramturg weld and have invited houses two special guests Fiedricha Haider and Peter Konwitschny. All three agreed on the uniqueness of the story, as well as the fact that La Bohème was written as part of the work for its time and accordingly prepare the staging of the opera. The music is presented bulkheads Jan Bernáthová (Musetta), Kyung Kim (Rodolfo) houses and Paul Remenár (Marcello) Piano accompaniment played already rock pianist Sunday matinee Branko Debugger. We bring you the views of these experts, which were presented at the matinee.
,, Music by Puccini to compose this story is a lot of truth about life, human emotions and human relationships. Regarding houses the learning process, I would venture to say just one experience. We all know La Bohème, orchestra and choir it states for decades, know it soloists and of course the audience, but in everyday collaboration with director Konwitschny we realized that it was so well known. Like any great work is beneath the surface of fancy further layers of meaning and it is a beautiful romantic story. houses On the one hand, contains a lot of wild and rugged enough humor and, second, sadness, tragedy, which affects houses not only the protagonists, but also us, modern people. houses "

,, In Bratislava is an amazing opera company and positive houses surprises me all. Interesting was the very thing that Bohemia is long SND Opera repertoire and a majority of the roles they have sung, but that it has entered into a new direction and even we who know La Bohème, we had to rethink everything from the beginning. Although musically we did not start from scratch, but because of the new regime, passages causing trouble and had to manage as from the outset. Acceded There's a lot of content initiatives, which also contributed to it, primarily from Mr Konwitschny. Thirty of his theatrical experience, I must say that in this regime is nothing that would be faced with challenges to work outside, but all ideas and suggestions are derived from the work of the music itself. In the past I have met directors houses who understand and respect the music, but the first time I experienced director houses who is looking at the score of the trained eyes of a professional musician who is Mr. Konwitschny. houses Since we do not require every viewer to know music terminology, or by a director can not require nonetheless it is a different department, but he has dealt me a very positive shock. When the first act comes Mimi, the orchestra resounds kvartsextakord. Kvartsextakord a chord that has its own atmosphere. While this is a triad, but the turnover, which is the basic tone in the bass, the chord is in itself a kind of expectation openness. And when the director knows and hears, so to him as a conductor I talk to a whole other level.
In this sense, it was one of my fondest collaborations with the director, one of the most beautiful houses theater projects on which I worked during my career to date. When I Boheme worked houses with other directors, so my psychological accuracy for several times lacked. houses In this production everyone knows what is in the moment on stage, knows what his role is, what is its characteristic.
If I had to choose houses between Mimi and Musetta, I can not decide because both belong to this story, theater thrives on contrast and the contrast between them does not mean that one is sympathetic and second
