hamlet (ambleto) Gasparini, F.

Hamlet ist einer der großen Stoffe der Kulturgeschichte: Die Verknüpfung von Thriller und philosophischem Drama erwies sich als Erfolgsgarant. Eine der unbekanntesten und sicher außergewöhnlichsten Opernversionen ist Francesco Gasparinis Ambleto, die 1706 in Venedig Uraufführung feierte. Die hochvirtuose Barockoper basiert auf den dänischen Chroniken Gesta Danorum, die auch Shakespeare inspirierten, doch wird hier der Fokus ganz auf die tragische Rachegeschichte gerichtet. Gasparini, Schüler von Arcangelo Corelli und Lehrer von Domenico Scarlatti, der mit seiner Musik Johann Sebastian Bach inspirierte, schrieb sein damaliges Erfolgsstück für den auch schauspielerisch begabten Kastraten Nicolini. Dieser sorgte dafür, dass Ambleto 1712 in London auf den Spielplan gesetzt wurde – und das dortige Notenmaterial blieb bis zum heutigen Tag erhalten. In Wien schlüpft nun der Countertenor Raffaele Pe in die koloraturenreiche und komplexe Titelfigur. Nach ihrer erfolgreichen Produktion von La liberazione kehrt mit Ilaria Lanzino eine Regisseurin an das MusikTheater an der Wien zurück, die in den letzten Jahren mit ihren fantasievollen, mutigen und mehrfach preisgekrönten Inszenierungen für Furore gesorgt hat.

Deutsch

Hamlet is one of the greatest works in the history of culture: its combination of thriller and philosophical drama proved a sure-fire winner. One of the most obscure, and certainly most unusual, opera versions is Francesco Gasparini’s Ambleto, which was first performed in Venice in 1706. This highly virtuoso Baroque opera is based on the Danish chronicles Gesta Danorum, which were also the inspiration for Shakespeare, but the spotlight here is firmly on the tragic tale of revenge. Gasparini, who studied under Arcangelo Corelli and taught Domenico Scarlatti (whose music inspired Johann Sebastian Bach), wrote this work, that proved very popular with contemporary audiences, for Nicolini, a castrato who was also a gifted actor. It was thanks to him that Ambleto was performed in London in 1712 – and the score used at the time has survived to the present day. In Vienna, counter-tenor Raffaele Pe takes on the title role, so rich in coloratura and complexity. Following her successful production of La liberazione, Ilaria Lanzino returns to the MusikTheater an der Wien as a director who has caused a sensation in recent years with her inventive, bold and multi-award-winning stagings.]
