PONORTE SA S NAMI DO SNA KRÁĽA ROGERA Milí naši diváci, pozývame Vás na premiéry opery Karola Szymanowského KRÁĽ ROGER.V stredu 23. a v piatok 25. novembra v...

dlhé hodiny sme strávili rozprávaním o tom, ako bude vyzerať náš Roger a koľko "neriešiteľných hádaniek" položíme nielen pred nášho diváka a poslucháča, ale i režiséra a dramaturga."

Jaroslaw Iwaszkiewicz (1894 - 1980), libretista opery v roku 1965

 

Opera Kráľ Roger je vrcholným dielom Karola Szymanowského, ktorého vznik je datovaný medzi rokmi 1918 a 1924. Libreto napísal skladateľ v spolupráci so svojím vzdialeným bratrancom Jaroslawom Iwaszkiewiczom, ktorý sa stal neskôr známym poľským spisovateľom. Szymanowski po viacerých návštevách Talianska a Sicílie bol fascinovaný ich kultúrou a históriou, ako aj neznámymi svetmi, ktoré sa mu otvorili práve v mediteránskom prostredí. Duchovnou inšpiráciou KráľaRogera sa stali tiež Euripidove Bakchantky, Platónov Phaedron a Symposion, ako i diela Friedricha Nietzscheho.

 

Príbeh opery je príbehom vládcu Rogera ako reprezentanta spoločenského systému, sveta racionality, poriadku a viery, ktorý naruší tajomný Pastier. Príchodom novodobého proroka, ktorý káže hedonizmus a neviazanosť a ktorého nasledujú davy, sa otrasie nielen existujúci spoločenský poriadok, ale začne aj osobná Rogerova premena. Szymanowski sám označoval svoje dielo ako "mystérium" - jeho témami sú sebapoznanie človeka, jeho sexualita a zmenené stavy vedomia, ale i náboženstvo a nové formy spirituality.

Karol Szymanowski vytvoril v opere osobitý hudobný jazyk, ktorý vychádza z rozličných kompozičných a hudobných štýlov. V charakteristike protikladných svetov kráľa Rogera a Pastiera i v extatických vrcholoch diela môžeme nájsť vplyvy modernej hudby začiatku 20. storočia, exotické orientálne motívy, ale započujeme aj goralské nápevy z okolia Tatier.

Táto originálna syntéza hudobných a duchovno-filozofických vplyvov v Kráľovi Rogerovi je jednou z príčin, prečo sa toto dielo v posledných rokoch priblížilo modernému divákovi a zažíva svoju renesanciu na najväčších operných scénach sveta.

slovenčina

we have spent many hours talking about how will our Roger look like and how many ´unsolvable riddles´ we will put not only for our viewers and listeners, but also director and dramaturge.“ Jaroslaw Iwaszkiewicz (1894-1980), opera librettist in 1965.

 

The opera, King Roger, is the supreme work of Karol Szymanowski, whose creation was finished between 1918-1924. The libretto was written by the composer in collaboration with his distant cousin Jaroslaw Iwaskiewicz, who later became well-known Polish writer. After several visits to Italy and Sicily, Szymanowski was fascinated by their culture and history, as well as the unknown worlds that opened up to him in Mediterranean  surroundings. The Bacchae by Euripides, Plato´s Phaedrus and Symposium, as well as the pieces of Friedrich Nietzsche also became King Roger´s spiritual inspiration.

 

The story of the opera is the story of the ruler Roger as a representative of a social system, a world of rationality, discipline and faith, disrupted by a mysterious Shepherd.  With the arrival of a modern prophet, who preaches hedonism and self-indulgence and is followed by crowds, not only the existing social order will be shaken, but Roger´s personal transformation will also begin. Szymanowski himself referred to his work as a „mystery“ – his themes are self-knowledge, sexuality, altered states of consciousness, but also religion and new forms of spirituality.

 

Karol Szymanowski created an unique musical language in opera, based on various composition and music styles. In characterization of opposite worlds of the King Roger and the Shepherd, as well as in the ecstatic peaks of the work, the influence of modern music of the beginning of the 20th century can be found, exotic oriental motifs, but we also hear Goral melodies from around the Tatras.

 

This original synthesis of musical and spiritual-philosophical influences in King Roger is one of the reasons why this piece has become closer to the modern audience in recent years and is experiencing its renaissance on the biggest opera stages of the world.

 

We thank the Art Support Fund for the scolarship for our Ukrainian artists in this project.
