»Curlew River«, finale of the »Lux aeterna« festival, sweeps audiences into a fascinating, unknown world. Benjamin Britten’s first of three »Church Parables«, a synthesis of Japanese Noh theatre and European music, portrays both Buddhist world views and Christian redemption beliefs.

Inspired by a trip to Japan in 1956, Britten merged his own personal beliefs with experiences from the East. »Curlew River« is stern, puritanical and concentrated down to the essentials – but also instantly accessible and poignant. The wonderful English tenor Ian Bostridge, often considered as the warrantable successor to Britten’s partner and preferred singer Peter Pears, takes on the title role of Mother. She slips into insanity while searching for her missing son and at his grave, seeks healing through God’s grace.

English

Zum Abschluss des Festivals »Lux aeterna« eröffnet »Curlew River« den Blick auf eine faszinierende, fremde Welt: Benjamin Brittens erste »Kirchenparabel« ist eine Synthese aus japanischem Nō-Theater und europäischer Musik, aus buddhistischer Weltsicht und christlichem Erlösungsglauben.

Britten verschmilzt darin seinen persönlichen Glauben mit Erfahrungen einer Japan-Reise 1956. Streng, puristisch und auf das Wesentliche verdichtet – und doch unmittelbar zugänglich und ergreifend. Der englische Tenor Ian Bostridge, oft als legitimer Nachfolger von Brittens Partner und bevorzugtem Sänger Peter Pears bezeichnet, übernimmt die Titelrolle der Mutter, die auf der Suche nach ihrem verschwundenen Sohn dem Wahnsinn anheimfällt und an seinem Grab durch die Gnade Gottes geheilt wird. An seiner Seite: ein hochkarätiges Solistenensemble und die Britten-Spezialisten der nach dem Komponisten benannten Ensembles.
