Dass Don Juan allein in Spanien 1003 Geliebte gehabt hatte, liess man ja noch durchgehen. Aber dass Margaret Campbell, Herzogin von Argyll, es auf 88 Liebhaber brachte, das war definitiv zu viel für die gehobene britische Gesellschaft der 1960er-Jahre. Die von der Yellow Press enthüllten sexuellen Eskapaden der als «Dirty Duchess» verschrienen Society-Lady machte die Kehlen heiss und heiser. 1963 kam es zu einem aufsehenerregenden Scheidungsprozess, in dem ihr selbst untreuer Ehemann, dem Gericht Fotos vorlegte, die für die britische Mittelschicht zum Inbegriff der Verderbtheit einer lasterhaften Upperclass wurden. Die genialische Oper «Powder her Face» von Thomas Adès widmet sich dem skandalumwitterten Leben dieser letztendlich tragischen Frauengestalt, das 1912 begann und 1993 in einem englischen Pflegeheim in Armut endete. Eine bissige Gesellschaftssatire über Amoral, Dekadenz und Voyeurismus.

 

THOMAS ADÈS (*1971) ist ein Allrounder mit Tiefgang. Eigentlich Komponist, Dirigent und Pianist, will der gebürtige Londoner die Menschen mit seiner Musik erreichen. Und das gelingt ihm. Hochdekoriert und der Musikwelt bestens bekannt, arbeitet Thomas Adès mit den weltweit führenden Orchestern, Opernhäusern und Festivals zusammen. Klassik und Jazz, Atonalität und Dreiklang-Harmonie, Anleihen aus dem Blues und der Barockmusik, Flirts mit Tango und Variété – aus diesem Vielklang setzt sich sein bisheriges Schaffen zusammen. Mit seiner ersten Oper «Powder Her Face» aus dem Jahre 1995 landete Adès einen Welthit.

The fact that Don Juan had 1,003 mistresses in Spain alone was still ignored. But the fact that Margaret Campbell, Duchess of Argyll, had 88 lovers was definitely too much for the upper class of British society in the 1960s. The sexual escapades of the society lady, decried as the “Dirty Duchess”, revealed by the Yellow Press made people’s throats hot and hoarse. In 1963 there was a sensational divorce trial in which her unfaithful husband presented the court with photos that, for the British middle class, epitomized the depravity of a vicious upper class. The brilliant opera “Powder her Face” by Thomas Adès is dedicated to the scandalous life of this ultimately tragic female figure, which began in 1912 and ended in poverty in an English nursing home in 1993. A biting social satire about amorality, decadence and voyeurism.

 

THOMAS ADÈS (*1971) is an all-rounder with depth. Actually a composer, conductor and pianist, the London native wants to reach people with his music. And he succeeds. Highly decorated and well known to the music world, Thomas Adès works with the world's leading orchestras, opera houses and festivals. Classical and jazz, atonality and triad harmony, borrowings from blues and baroque music, flirtations with tango and vaudeville - his work to date is made up of this polyphony. With his first opera “Powder Her Face” from 1995, Adès scored a global hit.
