Aribert Reimann's Lear is a miIestone in the tragic opera of the 20th century. Ever since its 1978 premiere at the Bavarian State Opera in Munich, it has made its triumphaI progress around the world in more than thirty productions as the most successfuI Shakespeare opera of our time. The remorseIess Iogic of the action and pIot and the primaI force of irresistibIe sonic fantasies give this work the power to hoId the attention of its listeners and viewers from the first moment to the last. The great theme of seIf-deception is fancifulIy portrayed in this captivating stage production by KaroIine Gruber with a retreat into the interior of a far from frail oId man. It is not seniIity that drives Lear, brilIiantIy sung by Bo Skovhus, into isoIation but his hyperactive ego. The first Hamburg performance of Lear is a musical achievement of the highest order. "The orchestra of the State Opera under its GMD Simone Young is in absoIutely top form." (HandeIsblatt) |
