Monteverdi: L’incoronazione di Poppea
Although there is just one conductor listed in the program, the brand new production of the Iván Fischer Opera Company also has an invisible one. As the BFO’s music director puts it when talking about The Coronation of Poppea: “Amor proves that he directs the world.” And then he adds: “Freud would nod in agreement.” This approach of placing love in the center characterizes Iván Fischer’s latest opera direction. Following the great success of Orfeo in 2019, the conductor now returns to Monteverdi. This time, however, instead of the first opera in the history of music, he brings to the stage the composer’s last musical drama, the story of Nero, the bloody tyrant. In addition to the orchestra, the company consists of the most sought-after soloists of early music, coming from all corners of the world, from Scotland to Trinidad.
The Coronation of Poppea is the greatest work of Monteverdi in every sense of the word, and also the first opera to derive its plot from a historical subject. Adapting the true story of the emperor who murdered his mother and wife – from depicting suicide on stage to the consummation of guilty love – was certainly a brave endeavor. The composer also had a say in the libretto; he wrote the music paying assiduous attention to every detail. Monteverdi was the greatest innovator of musical tools used for expressing the meaning of the text, so it is not surprising that the opera presents with embarrassing openness the grief of saying farewell to one’s home and life or, for that matter, the sounds of lust until eventually the antihero and antiheroine unite in one of the most beautiful and also bizarre duets of the history of music. This attraction and the two persons involved – lust overcoming wisdom, the two seemingly dissimilar characters finding each other – stirred Iván Fischer’s curiosity. “A strange little pair”, he says, asking: “Or maybe this whole thing is not real?”
The title role will be sung by Jeanine De Bique, who was praised in The Washington Post for her “dramatic presence and versatility”. The role of Nerone will be performed by Arad-born countertenor Valer Sabadus, who won the Handel Prize in 2020. In a Guardian review, he was hailed as having “ravishing control and finely honed technique”. Countertenor Reginald Mobley, praised for his light, shimmering, pure, intelligible and articulated singing, will play Ottone; soprano Nuria Rial, who was chosen “Young Female Artist of the Year” and won the award of “Best Opera Recording” will sing Drusilla; and bass Gianculla Buratto, who used to collaborate with Sir John Eliot Gardiner in Monteverdi’s operas, will play Seneca. The audience will also meet such returning artists as Stuart Patterson, seen earlier in BFO’s Falstaff, and mezzosoprano Luciana Mancini, who according to Bachtrack was the highlight of the Orfeo production.

Diótörő Mesés tánc-show
Pursuing happiness, love and affection through countless adventures across this great wide world, but still eventually finding a final peace in the arms of his beloved, Peer Gynt is one of the most complex characters in 19th-century drama.
Vígjáték az áramszünetben. Miközben a társaság nem lát semmit, a nézők mindent látnak… Brindsley és Carol fiatal pár. A férfi feltörekvő szobrász, és menyasszonyával elloptak pár műtárgyat a szomszédban lakó Harold Gorringe-től, hogy azokkal lenyűgözzék Carol vendégségbe érkező apját, illetve annak gazdag műgyűjtő barátját, Lembergert. A vendégek érkezése előtt azonban elmegy az áram, és teljes sötétségben kell megfelelni az apósjelöltnek, Melkett ezredesnek. Mindeközben beállít a sötéttől rettegő felsőszomszéd, Miss Furnival, felbukkan Brindsley korábbi szeretője, Clea, ráadásul a szomszéd lakó, akitől a műtárgyakat „köcsönvették”, Harold Gorringe is idő előtt hazatér… A klasszikus bohózati helyzeteket az teszi még viccesebbé, hogy a szereplők a sötétben semmit nem látnak, a nézők viszont mindent.
