Past Production Reviews
5Kolding: On Sunday 16 October, there will be opera again in Kolding, when the Kolding Theater Association shows Den Jyske Opera's staging of the two operas "La Vendetta" and "I Pagliacci" from 7.30 p.m., according to a press release. The performance unites two operas, "La Vendetta", from 1870 by the Danish composer Asger Hamerik and "I Pagliacci" ("Bajadser"), from 1892 by Ruggiero Leoncavallo. On stage you can experience Dorothea Spilger, Paul Gukhoe Song, Teit Kanstrup, Iurie Ciobano, Ruslana Koval, Michael Ha and the Jyske Opera's choir. The Sønderjylland Symphony Orchestra provides the music together with conductor Christopher Lichtenstein.
The Jyske Opera's latest tour performance combines two highly tense one-act operas with similar actions: the Danish opera 'La Vendetta' ('Revenge') by Asger Hamerik and the Italian 'I pagliacci' ('Bajadser') by Leoncavallo. Both of the two thriller-operas are about a traveling theater troupe with internal tensions, where the masquerading of comedy ends in tragedy. Love, envy and hate is a bad cocktail, but accompanied in this context by lovely music. The Odense Symphony Orchestra is conducted by Christopher Lichtenstein, and the prominent tenor role of Canio is sung by Peter Lodahl.
