The Lucky Hand by Schoenberg, Gianni Schicchi by Puccini, 土 12 2月 2022, から (2021/2022), 監督 Benjamin Prins, 導体 Enrico Calesso, Gabor Hontvári, Theaterfabrik Blaue Halle, Würzburg, Germany

A man struggling with the subconscious. Driven by love for a woman and the longing for unattainable happiness, he wants to face reality. Voices warn him: “You, who have the supernatural in you, long for the earthly! And cannot stand! ”- A man on the death bed. Around him are the family members who have just heard the last will of the late Buoso Donati: They have been disinherited! Fortunately, nobody knows about Donati's death yet. So they let Gianni Schicchi come to slip into the role of Donati and dictate a new will to the notary for the benefit of the family. But they did the math without Schicchi ... The opening production of the 21/22 season combines two of the most exciting opera scores of the early modern period into one evening. Schönberg's Happy Hand was made shortly before the outbreak, and Puccini's Gianni Schicchi at the end of the First World War. The coexistence of the mastermind of the Italian opera of the 19th century and the founder of the new music of the 20th century may surprise you, but it reflects the awareness of both composers for the upheavals of their time. They met in person on the occasion of the Italian premiere of Schönberg's melodrama Pierrot lunaire on April 1, 1924 in Florence - the city of Gianni Schicchis! In retrospect, Schönberg praised Puccini as an “expert in the field”, while Puccini recognized Schönberg as a “starting point for a distant future goal”.
