Das tragische Schicksal der karthagischen Königin Dido ist der Stoff, aus dem Opern gemacht sind: begehrenswert mächtig, exotisch und schön schenkt sie ihr Herz dem trojanischen Helden Aeneas. Der aber verlässt sie, um in Italien Karriere zu machen. Dido besteigt einen brennenden Scheiterhaufen und ersticht sich dort mit dem Schwert ihres Geliebten.
Etwa 90 Komponisten von Purcell bis Berlioz wandten sich dieser auch theatralisch effektvollen Geschichte zu. Einer war Christoph Graupner, ein angesehener, äusserst schöpferischer deutscher Komponist. Dank der Umsicht von Nachkommen sind seine hochinteressanten Partituren zwar erhalten, werden aber leider nur selten gespielt.
Auch seine Oper «Dido, Königin von Carthago» konnte man in der Neuzeit kaum je hören. Die Uraufführung fand 1707 am Hamburger Gänsemarkttheater statt, wo neben dem jungen Graupner erfahrene Kollegen wie Keiser und Mattheson als Musiker, Sänger und Komponisten wirkten. Händel, zwei Jahre jünger als Graupner, hatte im Jahr davor das Gänsemarkttheater Richtung Italien verlassen. Graupnersdreiaktiges «Singspiel» über Dido und Aeneas ist äusserst abwechslungsreich, da damals noch viele kleine Nummern die Struktur einer Oper bildeten. Wie in Hamburg üblich, sind nur einige davon italienisch gesungen. Andere Teile und die Rezitative sind auf Deutsch verfasst, was das Verste- hen der Handlung erleichtert.
Eine hochkarätige Besetzung mit Anett Fritsch, Robin Johannsen, Emiliano Gonzalez Toro, José Antonio Lopez, Andreas Wolf und der jungen aufstrebenden Schweizer Sopranistin Chelsea Zurflüh verspricht eine famose Schweizer Erstaufführung dieser deutschen Barockoper!

Deutsch

The tragic fate of the Carthaginian queen Dido is the stuff that operas are made of: desirably powerful, exotic and beautiful, she gives her heart to the Trojan hero Aeneas. But he leaves her to pursue a career in Italy. Dido climbs a burning pyre and stabs herself with her lover's sword.
Around 90 composers from Purcell to Berlioz turned to this story, which was also theatrically effective. One was Christoph Graupner, a respected, extremely creative German composer. Thanks to the thoughtfulness of his descendants, his highly interesting scores have been preserved, but unfortunately are rarely played.
His opera “Dido, Queen of Carthage” has hardly ever been heard in modern times. The premiere took place in 1707 at Hamburg's Gänsemarkttheater, where, alongside the young Graupner, experienced colleagues such as Keizer and Mattheson worked as musicians, singers and composers. Handel, two years younger than Graupner, had left the Gänsemarkttheater for Italy the year before. Graupner's three-act “Singspiel” about Dido and Aeneas is extremely varied, as at that time many small numbers still formed the structure of an opera. As is usual in Hamburg, only some of them are sung in Italian. Other parts and the recitatives are written in German, which makes it easier to understand the action.
A top-class cast with Anett Fritsch, Robin Johannsen, Emiliano Gonzalez Toro, José Antonio Lopez, Andreas Wolf and the young, aspiring Swiss soprano Chelsea Zurflüh promises a splendid Swiss premiere of this German baroque opera!
