What constitutes legitimate government? To what extent is a head of government permitted to place his own interests at the centre of affairs of state? Can members of different religions ever live and work together peacefully? Handel’s 1745 oratorio Belshazzar continues to ask questions of global relevance today. In mid-18th-century England it was forbidden to show any biblical subjects on the stage. But by the time the mysterious words “Mene, mene, tekel” appear on the palace wall during a riotous feast, words that only the prophet Daniel can interpret, theology and thrilling drama have merged in Handel’s oratorio to form a unity of musical theatre. The French director Marie-Eve Signeyrole stages the fall of Babylon under its infamous ruler Belshazzar. In her production, the Arnold Schoenberg Choir portrays no fewer than three hostile Middle Eastern peoples who are carried by music performed by Christina Pluhar and her ensemble L’Arpeggiata.

English

Was ist rechtmäßige Herrschaft? Wie weit darf ein politisches Oberhaupt eigene Interessen in den Mittelpunkt des Staatsgeschäftes stellen? Können Gläubige unterschiedlicher Religionen jemals zu einem friedvollen Miteinander finden? Händels OratoriumBelshazzar von 1745 stellt nach wie vor weltbewegende Fragen. Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts durften in England keine biblischen Stoffe szenisch dargestellt werden. Doch spätestens wenn während eines rauschenden Festes der mysteriöse Schriftzug „Mene, mene, tekel“ an der Palastwand erscheint, den einzig der Prophet Daniel zu deuten weiß, verbinden sich in Händels Oratorium Theologie und packende Dramatik zu einer musiktheatralischen Einheit. Die französische Regisseurin Marie-Eve Signeyrole inszeniert den Fall Babylons unter seinem berüchtigten Herrscher Belshazzar. Hierfür stellt der Arnold Schoenberg Chor gleich drei verfeindete Völker aus dem Nahen Osten dar, musikalisch getragen von Christina Pluhar und ihrem Ensemble L’Arpeggiata.
