5Een prachtige rol heeft het koor in ‘Fidelio’. Het koor van de gevangenen ‘O welche Lust, in freier Luft’ (met uitstekende soli van Bram van Uum en Remmert Velthuis), werd met intense spanning gezongen door het koor Consensus Vocalis (ingestudeerd door Alistair Digges), terwijl het uitbundige ‘Heil sei den Tag’ bijdroeg aan de forse klankmassa van een grandioze finale.
“With simple large screens on which film images could be projected, a sophisticated lighting plan and a few attributes, director John Fulljames created captivating images.”
Few legends have inspired artists more than the tale of Orpheus, the son of Apollo whose music so moved the gods that he was given permission to enter Hades to retrieve his deceased wife Eurydice... only to lose her again because he disobeyed the instruction not to look back. The Nederlandse Reisopera’s new production of Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo, co-produced with OPERA2DAY, shows that, even in the 21st century, this legend remains a source of inspiration to artists across varied disciplines. The brainchild of opera director Monique Wagemakers, choreographer Nanine Linning and visual artist Lonneke Gordijn, this Orfeo is a thing of infinite beauty.
