Die Teufel von Loudun -  (Los Diablos de Loudun)

Múnich

Krzysztof Penderecki 's The Devils of Loudun premieres on Monday, June 27, 2022 at 7 p.m., opening this year's Munich Opera Festival. Wolfgang Koch, who was supposed to sing the role of Grandier, unfortunately has to cancel the premiere due to illness.

The opera The  Devils of Loudun has rarely been performed in recent years, which has made the selection of singers who have already worked the role in their repertoire extremely complicated. We have now found a very unusual solution. Robert Dölle, from the Residenztheater ensemble, will stage the role and Jordan Shanahan sings the role from the side.

We thank both artists for their spontaneity and wish Wolfgang Koch a speedy recovery.

Aldous Huxley depicted these processes in a vivid historical novel in 1952 and in 1969 Krzysztof Penderecki created an opera from a dramatization of this book that is second to none: The Devils of Loudun. In it he brings up a huge abundance of voices and instruments, sounds and noises, which he combines entirely to suit the needs of the scene. The 34 short scenes wash over the audience like waves, and after a short time you gasp for air. This work is one of the most haunting of the 20th century, has remained shockingly topical and is now coming, for the first time in Munich, as a premiere at the opening of the 2022 Opera Festival on the stage of the National Theater.

The name Simon Stone, still an insider tip five years ago, has now become a trademark in the world of music theater. The director, who was born in Basel and grew up in England and Australia, has quickly built a reputation for his detailed, realistic operas that have been consistently translated into modern visual and living environments. While still at school he founded his own theater academy, with which he adapted plays by Chekhov and Ibsen and developed his concept of "overwriting" old stories in a modern setting. Since 2012 the international theater world has noticed his work with invitations to festivals; in 2015 he shot his first feature film, followed by the second, The Dig , in 2021 . Simon Stone's handwriting is unmistakable, whether he worked with Ralph Myers as a set designer (as with  Die Toten Stadt , his first opera work, which was shown in Basel in 2016 and in Munich in 2019) or, as with the  Devils of Loudun , with Bob Cousins ​​(stage) and Mel Page (costumes) - the latter are long-term partners in a joint collaboration that goes back to student productions in Australia and up to celebrated premieres at the Salzburg Festival ( Lear, Médée) suffices. The musical direction of the Munich premiere of Penderecki's first opera is in the hands of GMD Vladimir Jurowski, who has already campaigned for the work - at the Dresden Music Festival almost exactly 20 years before the Munich premiere: the best conditions for teamwork the  devils of Loudun .
