“Jolanthe” in Baden-Baden is a must: This opera is like a Fabergé egg, enchanting, priceless, conservative contradiction to the economy of the practical. Tchaikovsky's fairy tales anticipate symbolism and art nouveau. The composer's Russia also left traces in Baden-Baden, just think of the local Orthodox Church. The matt gold of its onion dome finds its musical counterpart in the master's orchestral play of colors. Otherwise, the opera had nothing to do with the outside world and should reflect the royal luxury of the Tsar's court as an item of equipment. The Russian lust for color, shimmer and abundance has historically acted as a catalyst for a different, often overlooked, luxurious modernity with Tchaikovsky as its melancholy prophet.
