    Opera Explained La Traviata

    von Thomson Smillie …
    Erzählt von David Timson …
    Serien series Opera Explained 

    Ungekürzt

    1 Stunde 5 Min.

    La Traviata owes its enduring popularity to a superb story of young love and fatal sacrifice, set to music by Italy’s master melodist at the peak of his powers. Interest and poignancy are added by the fact that this is a true story the baritone ‘heavy’ is Alexander Dumas who wrote The Count of Monte Cristo. But it is the central figure, the heroine Violetta, the archetypal ‘whore with the heart of … Lesen Sie mehr

    Opera Explained Carmen

    1 Stunde 5 Min.

    Carmen is among the most popular operas for all the obvious reasons: great characters, a gripping story and fabulous music. But what sets it on a pinnacle is an amazing combination of three factors: a sizzling gipsy heroine (one of the most psychologically complex and compelling characters in all theatre), great atmosphere (Spain, hot sun, the bull-ring) and the prodigality of melodic invention … Lesen Sie mehr

    Opera Explained La sonnambula

    Serien series Opera Explained 

    Ungekürzt

    1 Stunde 19 Min.

    La sonnambula was written by Bellini as a vehicle for two of the supreme singers of his age and accordingly is a fine example of the school we call bel canto, where beauty of voice and the virtuosity of the singers is integral to conveying the emotions in the soul of the composer. The fact that Bellini was one of the great melodists, writing long, beautiful vocal lines, that he was a master … Lesen Sie mehr

    Opera Explained Don Giovanni

    Serien series Opera Explained 

    Ungekürzt

    1 Stunde 19 Min.

    Don Giovanni has long been regarded as Mozart’s supreme theatrical achievement. The subject seems unpromising the last day in the life of the notorious womaniser Don Juan but the skill of the librettist allied to the genius of Mozart at the very peak of his powers has created a work which is not only highly entertaining but reflects an incredible understanding of the human condition. … Lesen Sie mehr

    Opera Explained Die Fledermaus

    Serien series Opera Explained 

    Ungekürzt

    1 Stunde 19 Min.

    Die Fledermaus is one of the few operatic works to which the phrase ‘never a dull moment’ can be truthfully applied. From the explosive opening of the famous overture reminiscent of a volley of champagne corks through the surging energy of the ‘Fledermaus Waltz’ and the many comic numbers, of which the accelerando trio is the finest, up to such huge concerted numbers as the ‘Duidu’ finale to Act … Lesen Sie mehr

    Opera Explained Madama Butterfly

    von Thomson Smillie …
    Erzählt von David Timson …
    Serien series Opera Explained 

    Ungekürzt

    1 Stunde 5 Min.

    Madama Butterfly runs the gamut of operatic emotions. The title heroine has a fragility wonderfully expressed in her entry music, deep sexual instincts as shown in the love duet, and immense tragic stature in her last hours. The fate of Madama Butterfly married to an American sailor and then abandoned engages our emotions, as it obviously did Puccini’s to a degree equalled by few other opera … Lesen Sie mehr

    Opera Explained Il trovatore

    von Thomson Smillie …
    Erzählt von David Timson …
    Serien series Opera Explained 

    Ungekürzt

    1 Stunde 19 Min.

    Il trovatore has been ruthlessly parodied. It is a tale of murder and mayhem, burned babies, roasted hags, would-be nuns, strolling minstrels and bad baritones. And indeed the libretto does call for a willing suspension of disbelief. The reward is in the music, a score as prodigally melodic as only the mature Verdi could write: the ‘Anvil’ Chorus, the ‘Miserere’ scene, two great tenor arias, a … Lesen Sie mehr

    Opera Explained Cavalleria rusticana

    von Thomson Smillie …
    Erzählt von David Timson …
    Serien series Opera Explained 

    Ungekürzt

    1 Stunde 16 Min.

    Cavalleria rusticana is the short opera that has all the elements of a grand opera compressed into a single highly dramatic time span. The story of love, lust, blood-feud and betrayal played out against the pageantry of the Easter celebrations in a Sicilian village delivers an emotional wallop because of the youthful vigour and musical wealth of its great score which includes the glorious Easter … Lesen Sie mehr

    Opera Explained La Bohème

    Erzählt von David Timson …
    Serien series Opera Explained 

    Ungekürzt

    1 Stunde

    La Bohème is one of the three operas the others are Carmen and Aida believed to be the most popular ever written. In the case of La Bohème the reason is that it virtually defines the term ‘romantic’. The poignant story of Mimì and Rodolfo is told in music of such tender beauty, allied, as always, to Puccini’s intuition of what works in the theatre, resulting in an opera that readily appeals to our … Lesen Sie mehr

    Serien series Opera Explained 

    Ungekürzt

    1 Stunde 18 Min.

    Verdi’s Falstaff repays careful study with real pleasure. It is opera’s happiest irony that the great Italian master should cap a career distinguished for its blood-and-thunder tragic masterpieces with the greatest comic opera in the Italian repertory. The genius of Shakespeare is harnessed (in a miracle of compression) by master-librettist Boito to give the eighty-year-old Verdi a superb libretto … Lesen Sie mehr

    1 Stunde 3 Min.

    Ancient Egypt and the war with Ethiopia is the setting for Verdi’s grandest opera. It is the story of the love between Rhadames, the Egyptian general and Aida, an Ethiopian slave, and the jealousy of Amneris, daughter of the King of Egypt. It was written in 1871 to a commission from the Khedive of Egypt to inaugurate the new opera house in Cairo. Aida generally is considered one of the most … Lesen Sie mehr

    Opera Explained Fidelio

    Erzählt von David Timson …
    Serien series Opera Explained 

    Ungekürzt

    1 Stunde 19 Min.

    Fidelio is a work like no other. Beethoven’s only opera is about the joy of married love by a man who never knew that pleasure. It is about heroism by a man who was often mean and petty in his human relations; it is about freedom by a man who was a prisoner of his own deafness; and ultimately it is about joy by a man who experienced precious little of it. Maybe there is a divine logic to that: … Lesen Sie mehr
