Opera productions of the Salzburg Festival

Julia Novikova as Queen of the Night in The Magic Flute, Part Two. The labyrinth , 2012

The opera productions of the Salzburg Festival were for much of the 20th century and are still shaping the style today. The opera in Salzburg - as a total work of art - represents the primus inter pares in the triad of drama, opera and concert. Almost all of the world's leading conductors have worked in Salzburg, as have most of the most outstanding singers, directors, stage and costume designers. Many of the performances have been preserved for posterity as audio documents or TV recordings.

history

→ Main article : Opera chronology of the Salzburg Festival

The Salzburg focus was and is consistently on (a) Mozart , (b) Richard Strauss , (c) contemporary operas, as well as the festival operas Orfeo ed Euridice , Fidelio , Don Carlos and Falstaff . The Mozart repertoire in Salzburg is not limited to the three da Ponte operas, Die Entführung aus dem Serail and Die Zauberflöte , but also includes the rarely performed works, in particular Idomeneo and La clemenza di Tito . The first opera performance of the Festival was Don Giovanni under the musical direction of Richard Strauss on August 14, 1922 - a guest performance by the Vienna State Opera in the Salzburg State Theater . Thanks to the Vienna Philharmonic , who play four to five opera productions in Salzburg every year, the interpretations of Mozart and Strauss operas are of exceptional orchestral quality.

The Salzburg repertoire was carefully and gradually expanded - first by Bruno Walter and Arturo Toscanini , and finally by Karl Böhm and Herbert von Karajan : Walter conducted operas by Gluck and Donizetti , Hugo Wolf and Richard Wagner , and Die Fledermaus by for the first time at the Salzburg Festival Johann Strauss . Toscanini established Falstaff as a genuine Salzburg festival opera in 1935 . In 1951 and 1971, Böhm presented Alban Berg 's opera Wozzeck , which was hardly played at the time , and thus an exponent of the twelve-tone technique . Karajan finally popularized the program with a wide range of other Verdi operas and with Bizet's Carmen .

The early works of the opera and the baroque found their place in the Salzburg repertoire quite early on. Gluck has been staged in Salzburg since 1930 and Handel since 1984. From 1968 to 1973 Cavalieri's rarely played rap presentations di Anima, et di Corpo in a model production by Graf / Colosanti / Moore enjoyed the greatest public interest. In 1971, 1985 and 1993 all surviving Monteverdi operas were presented in Salzburg. The highlight of the Baroque interpretation is the 2012 staging by Giulio Cesare in Egitto with Cecilia Bartoli and four of the world's best countertenors ( Andreas Scholl , Philippe Jaroussky , Christophe Dumaux , Jochen Kowalski ).

Over time, the Salzburg Festival with almost all of the major opera houses in the world ( Wiener Staatsoper , Scala , La Fenice , Operá de la Bastille , La Monnaie , Met , Mariinski-Theater ) and some important festivals ( Aix-en-Provence , Maggio Musicale Fiorentino ) cooperates. Most of these co-productions were developed in Salzburg and could often be seen many years later at important opera houses, such as Robert Wilson's exemplary Pelléas-et-Mélisande production from 1997, which was and still was produced together with the Operá de Paris was performed in Madrid and Barcelona in 2012 .

A long production run suggests that it was a successful production. However, numerous exemplary productions could not be resumed due to scheduling conflicts or budgetary reasons. In 2012, the new artistic director Alexander Pereira decided to only play all productions for one season in general, regardless of the response from the audience or the criticism. This practice was given up by his successor.

In Salzburg, operas are mainly played in the three festival halls - Haus für Mozart , Felsenreitschule and Großes Festspielhaus - occasionally also in the Residenzhof , the Salzburg State Theater and the Kollegienkirche , and more rarely at other venues . In the 1950s and 1960s, the opera performances in the Residenzhof moved to the Carabinieri Hall of the Residenz when it rained . Today the Residenzhof can be covered when it rains .

Productions

The following list is broken down by composer: first Mozart, then Richard Strauss and the composers of modern times, finally baroque operas and finally the classical repertoire and rarities. The list includes all opera productions of the Salzburg Whitsun and Summer Festival , as well as those productions of the Mozart Week and the Easter Festival that were included in the summer program from 1956 and 1985, respectively. The respective Leading Team is represented as follows: Conductor - Director - Outfitter (whereby first stage designers, then costume designers, and finally lighting designers and, in some cases, video designers). Any cooperation partners are named in brackets at the end of the line. - There is also the opera chronology of the Salzburg Festival , which lists all titles by year.

Modern and post-modern opera

• As one of the most important composers of his time, Richard Strauss was also the founding father of the festival. As a result, the examination of contemporary music was written into the program of the Salzburg Festival, so to speak, and a lively effort to get world premieres and re-performances of even difficult works implemented. For this reason, Salzburg was and has remained an attractive performance venue for contemporary composers, not least because of the festival's artistic and financial potential.
