Theater Bielefeld – ODYSSEUS' HEIMKEHR (Claudio Monteverdi / Sebastian Schwab)

Music theater based on Claudio Monteverdi's "Il ritorno d′Ulisse in patria" / Musical adaptation and new compositions by Sebastian Schwab / Libretto by Giacomo Badoaro, with texts by Dagmar Leupold and Francesco Petrarca / In Italian and German with surtitles

Odysseus is back! He had fought in the Trojan War for ten long years, and for another ten years was considered lost - probably dead. Only vague rumors circulated about his odyssey, adventure stories devoid of any credibility. Nobody really expected his return anymore. So it is no wonder that a number of applicants have already appeared in his home country who hope to be able to take Odysseus' position: with his wife Penelope and on his throne. Unexpectedly, the person believed dead stands in the room and claims his ancestral rights. The rivals are the least problem for the war-tried returnees. And his son, who only knows Odysseus from stories, foams over with joy to finally see the adored father in front of him. But what does Penelope feel?

Claudio Monteverdi made his decision in his opera Il ritorno d′Ulisse in patria , which was premiered in 1640against the description of the adventurous encounters of the mythological title hero with cyclops, sea monsters and seductive sorceresses, but instead focused on his most unspectacular and yet most important test: the homecoming. Because the twenty years of his absence not only changed him, but also those who stayed behind. His son Telemaco, whom he only knew as an infant, is now a young man. His wife Penelope has become an independent ruler who successfully asserts her autonomy against the attempts to take possession of numerous suitors. And Odysseus himself, traumatized by war and wandering, is no longer the man who said goodbye back then. Can the family still recognize each other and come together again? The astonishingly timeless and lifelike questions of the penultimate opera Monteverdi's are spun at the Bielefeld TheaterOdysseus' homecoming continues, immerses himself in the female perspective and not only gives Penelope her own modern voice, but also gives the whole work a new sound.
