The last premiere of last season's opera LNOBT - Giuseppe Verdi's opera Don Karl - one of the most significant productions of the theater, and despite extremely controversial opinions - a very strong performance. And could it be otherwise? After Verdi's Don Carlo - classified as "grand opera" ( grand opera ) genre - is a powerful work, not only the beautiful music, but also historical characters, characters, dramatic plot. The builders, who created their own version of this opera, also chose a non-illustrative rendition of the drama, but sought to reveal its deepest layers. Don Karl was staged at the Lithuanian Opera by Günter Krämer, a prominent German director with original stage thinking, Pierre Vallet, who conducts many theaters around the world, and Herbert Schäfer, a set designer and playwright.
The G. Verdi's Don Charles premiere of took place in 1867. In Paris, the opera is based on a play by Friedrich Schiller. In this Schiller drama lay what Verdi was looking for in his late operas - leaving the theatrical external dramas and librettos full of romantic passions, the composer turned to inner tragedy; the external action in these works is small, but they seek to express inner experiences, the search for truth, and a longing for humanity.

As a genius music playwright, Verdi was well aware that Schiller’s political drama provides far fewer opportunities to convey viewers ’favorite passions and collisions of feelings than the family relationship drama. So the two were combined into one perfect drama of personal, political and ideological conflicts. After finishing the score for the Paris Opera, Verdi was only 53 years old, but he spent another 20 years editing, shortening, removing arias or scenes from here, and returning them here again… No other opera had so many editions. " Don Carlo's score makes it very clear where Verdi bowed to the Paris Opera Convention and where he was the master of his work. Naturally, the question arises as to how this opera would have sounded if it had not been subject to any restrictions. We decided to find out with Günter. We tried to electrify the course of the opera, to give even more tension to the dramatic material of the work. We performed some musical notes to enhance the impact of the music, and swapped some scenes for a more cohesive flow of events. We are sure that this is Verdi himself Don Carl's version would have been close and intriguing, "says conductor Pierre Vallet.
The director's main goal was also to delve into G. Verdi's work and purify the opera from the 19th century. Parisian scenes accompanying her. According to G. Krämer, listening to the difficult Don Carl's music and procession of ballet, it is not to feel that it is "empty music": Verdi knew the conventions and wrote these scenes for the Paris boudoir. He has produced eight versions of this opera, which shows that he was not satisfied with the result, in the form of a work. "

In this production, Mr. Krämer also presented unexpected solutions and connections. The director was influenced and inspired by the anti-death farewell message of rock culture star David Bowie - a song Blackstar video clip of the and its meanings. Working with Don Karl , one of the central scenes of which was a car show organized by the Spanish Inquisition, Blackstar's images became a kind of starting point.
All of these inspirations create a spectacle that maximally influences the performance. The director of the performance Günter Krämer and the set designer Herbert Schäfer won the 2016 Golden Stage Cross Awards.
