Opera will resound over Nørrebro when the Festival Stage at Den Røde Plads opens with a free concert on Friday evening. Come and experience some opera gems that you didn’t know that you already knew!
At the opening concert, we welcome you to five days of opera at the red square with easily accessible repertoire, hand-picked by the festival’s artistic director, Amy Lane.

 

Even without any prior knowledge, you will be able to hum along to a broad range of

opera ear-worms: Addictive melodies that over time have become part of our common musical DNA. Listen to wonderful arias and duets from composers such as Puccini, Verdi and Humperdinck. In addition, Tchaikovsky and Wagner will also enrich the programme.

 

These opera treats are performed by nine star soloists including the Danish soprano Helle Gössler, British mezzo-soprano Sarah Pring and the Icelandic baritone Hrólfur Sæmundsson and they can also be seen in the free performance of Puccini's one-act opera, Il Tabarro, the following evening.

 

We also welcome to the stage, Yana Kleyn, whom we are proud to present as Opera Talent of the Year.  Come and hear the Danish-Russian soprano and experience a taste of her most beautiful and luscious soprano voice. We are also delighted that the sought-after concert pianist, Ulrich Stærk, will be the binding force of our opening concert.

 

The bar is open, so come and raise a glass with us and experience some truly magical moments.

The concert is free, like the rest of the Festival Stage programme.

Et operabrag lyder over Nørrebro, når Festivalscenen på Den Røde Plads indvies med en gratis koncert fredag aften. Kom og opdag operajuveler, som du ikke vidste, du kendte.

Med åbningskoncerten byder vi velkommen til en uge i operaens tegn med et let tilgængeligt repertoire håndplukket af festivalens kunstneriske leder, Amy Lane.

 

Selv uden forhåndskendskab vil man kunne nynne med på en bred vifte af opera-ørehængere: Vanedannende melodier, som gennem tiden er blevet en del af vores fælles musikalske dna. Hør vidunderlige arier og duetter fra komponister som Puccini, Verdi og Humperdinck, ligesom Tjajkovskij og Wagner også vil berige programmet.

 

Arierne bliver fremført af ni stjernesolister, blandt andre den danske sopran Helle Gössler, den britiske mezzo-sopran Sarah Pring og den islandske bariton, Hrólfur Sæmundsson. Alle kan også opleves i den gratis opsætning af Puccinis énakter Il Tabarro aftenen efter. 

 

Vi giver også scenen til Yana Kleyn, som vi er stolte af at præsentere som Årets Operatalent. Lær den dansk-russiske sopran at kende og få en smagsprøve på hendes evner som solist. Den anerkendte koncertpianist Ulrich Stærk sidder bag tangenterne.

 

Baren er åben, så kom og få bobler i glasset og arier i ørerne. Arrangementet er, som alle på Festivalscenen, gratis.
