Final vocal showdown
CHRISTOPH FORSTHOFF
In 1984 Milos Forman film "Amadeus" in the cinema was, Mozart was competing with his colleague Antonio Salieri suddenly all the rage. This Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov had already taken up 80 years ago in a true opera Crime Pushkin presentation to the Score competition and envy, stirred despair, hatred and venom in his chamber opus. At a dinner the two counterparties where the final showdown Sanger each other ... Admirable material for an exciting evening, then, especially for young opera singers of the music high school who knows always surprise with performed works in clever staging. What the chances are good that - also in "Mozart and Salieri" triumph of the genius of mediocrity - as in the work. (Ff)

"Mozart and Salieri" - very modern
But as we know them will not. In Rimsky-Korsakov's chamber opera Mozart actually sings in the tenor. But taken in the School of Music and Drama Director Thorsten Teubl this role with soprano Silke Willmann. Thus, from the competition of two composers also a battle of the sexes, of Salieri's anger over baritone Mozart's genius, the anger of the man about the superiority of women. Very nice.
addition to the singers Silke Willmann and Jörn Dopfer, who master their parts wonderfully, yet many dark figures flitting about among the chairs. Uncanny: a waiting room for death. Fascinating: Marnie Aramruck dancer who commented pantomime as doll-like angel of death the game. And suddenly, the piano accompaniment by Tanja Noters sounds very modern, since vital scenes are intensified by arias and interludes. vanishes to the sound of Requiem the land of the dead poisoned Mozart. Strong end of a strong production.

Young reveals Forum: Mozart was a woman
As the State Opera has in its first season opener in two weeks but exert powerful! What the young boy's musical theater forum has now put down at the start of the season, can hear music, but above all - realized gorgeous - can see. With Rimsky-Korsakov's chamber opera "Mozart and Salieri" added director Thorsten Teubl the Forum of the Academy of Music not only a dramatic one-act play excavated, but the deadly showdown withdrawn at dinner by a clever trick and an overabundance of pathos. Frames the story of the poisoning of Salieri to Mozart namely two arias from Peter Michael Hamel's "Alkeste arias' - and these two songs (" Between fear and hope "and" Do not cry ") quoted a blend harmoniously as seamless.
solves addition, Teubl of Pushkin's literary original and makes the already long since disproved the myth of the murder of success is a reflection on hate envy and jealousy. Hitchcock-like stages in which only a few chairs provided in the auditorium extended stage, fighting Salieri (Jörn Dopfer with dark baritone brings the necessary horror, however, with sometimes too forced organ) in ghostly light with these feelings and their sinister insinuations. A silent appearance (Marnie Aramruck) more as pantomime death angel the ghostly scene yet - even the seemingly floating above it all Mozart can not be the grim final escape. His Requiem He is driven by Teubl also has the genius with the soprano Silke Willmann occupied, thus generating even a competition between the sexes. Almost a little too much of the hidden agenda - like the startled again and again in this waiting room of death collapsing, silent choir for more unrest provide more than terror. Still, one disturbing in its reduction evening - we are anxious to see if can keep up "Tales of Hoffmann."
