Life

Hartmut Haenchen is the son of the horticultural inspector Fritz Haenchen and his wife Eva, daughter of the rose grower Victor Teschendorff . From 1953 to 1958 Haenchen was a member of the Dresden Kreuzchor under the direction of the Kreuzkantor Rudolf Mauersberger . He attended the Kreuzschule and from 1958 to 1960 the extended secondary school in Dresden. At the age of fifteen he conducted his first concert as a cantor . According to his own statements, as a teenager he came into contact with the State Security for the first time , which observed him distributing leaflets. Because he initially failed the entrance exam for conducting, he took up singing studies, which he finished with the exam. Until 1966 he studied choir and orchestral conducting at the Carl Maria von Weber Academy of Music in Dresden (with Rudolf Neuhaus and Horst Förster ). During his studies he was expelled from the music college twice. In 1967 he studied with Arvīds Jansons and Evgeni Mrawinski at the Rimsky-Korsakov Conservatory in Leningrad . In the 1970s he also sat in with Pierre Boulez at the Bayreuth Festival and with Herbert von Karajan in Berlin.

In 1966 he began his professional career as director (successor to Horst Förster) of the Robert-Franz-Singakademie in Halle / Saale and conductor of the Philharmonie Halle (today Staatskapelle). In retrospect, Johannes Unger assessed Haenchen's work positively. After Unger, Haenchen came into conflict with the new chief conductor Olaf Koch , which is why he left Halle in 1972. In 2006 he returned to the place where he started his career and premiered the commissioned work Halleluja by Siegfried Matthus in 2006 .

In the 1968 by the choirmaster Erich Schmidt in Meissen Cathedral directed premiere of Wolfgang Hufschmidts Meissner Te Deum with the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra , the Meissner choir and soprano Barbara Hoene Haenchen took the baritone voice and the conducting of the second orchestra.

In 1972/73 he was first conductor on the stages of the city of Zwickau . During this time he made his debut at the Deutsche Staatsoper Berlin with Mussorgsky's Boris Godunow . He was a permanent guest conductor from 1973 to 1986 and again after German reunification from 1993 to 1995 for the house and the Staatskapelle Berlin , of which Otmar Suitner was chief conductor . From 1973 to 1976 he worked as a conductor with the Dresden Philharmonic , which was under Günther Herbig's chief conductor, and directed the Dresden Philharmonic Choir. In 1976 he was responsible for the world premiere of Wilfried Krätzschmar's Capriccio in the Kulturpalast Dresden (in 1995 he premiered his Reigen for orchestra ). From 1974 to 1976 and from 1984 to 1988 he was also a guest conductor at the Dresden State Opera , where in 1985 he premiered Die Weise von Liebe und Tod des Cornet Christoph Rilke by Siegfried Matthus .

From 1976 to 1979 the Mecklenburgische Staatskapelle took over as chief conductor and at the same time was music director of the Mecklenburg State Theater in Schwerin. After the Schwerin performance of Friedrich Goldmann's opera R. Hot , he lost his job and the promised appointment to the Komische Oper Berlin was canceled; In 1981 Rolf Reuter finally took over the direction of the orchestra in Berlin. Haenchen was denied chief conduct at a leading orchestra in the GDR.

From 1980 to 2014 he was artistic director of the Berlin Chamber Orchestra Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach and also taught conducting from 1980 to 1986 at the Dresden University of Music, where he was appointed honorary professor in 1985 . He was also a permanent guest conductor at the Komische Oper Berlin from 1980 to 1996. In 1981 he premiered works by Reiner Bredemeyer , Paul Heinz Dittrich , Friedrich Goldmann and Krzysztof Meyer with the Neue Musik Hanns Eisler group .

In 1986 he left the GDR as a so-called “self-seller” and thus broker of foreign currency for the GDR. He described that he had undertaken to pay twenty percent of the West pay to the GDR. In Amsterdam he became chief conductor of the Dutch Philharmonic and the Dutch Chamber Orchestra (until 2002). At the same time he was General Music Director of the Dutch Opera until 1999 . He remained associated with the Amsterdam Opera in the position of Principal Guest Conductor from 1999 to 2007, and from 2008 to 2014 he made guest appearances there. From 1989 to 1993 and since 2010 he has been guest conductor of the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden .

From 2003 to 2008 he was the artistic director of the Dresden Music Festival . From 2006 to 2010 and from 2021 guest conductor at the Opéra National de Paris , from 2011 to 2015 at the Teatro Real in Madrid, in 2013 at the Scala in Milan. He also became guest conductor at the Grand Théâtre de Genève (2015) and at the Royal Chapel in Copenhagen (2016). In 2016/17 he took over at short notice (for Andris Nelsons ) the direction of the new Parsifal production by Uwe Eric Laufenberg at the Bayreuth Festival .
