Inhalt: |
Wagner's rarely performed early comic opera, based on Shakespeare's Measure for Measure, enjoys its Spanish debut in a new production by director Kasper Holten. The Iively score boasts clear ItaIian, French and Weberian influences that pre-date the composer's mature voice, yet the music continuaIly deIights with the unmistakabIe emergence of Wagner's precocious genius. His adaptation of the Bard's pIay reflects the rebellious mood of a Revolutionary Germany, vindicating sensual love and attacking the fanaticaI repression of sexuaIity by a puritanical and hypocritical authority. lvor BoIton conducts a vibrant cast featuring English baritone and Cardiff Singer of the World Lieder Prize-winner Christopher MaItman, Turkish-Viennese tenor and BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist IIker Arcayürek and Germany's hottest Wagnerian leading lady, ManueIa UhI. |
