On the lakeside terrace of the Hotel Metropole, it quickly becomes apparent how cracked the facade of the honorable Di Spelta family is: Calogero has not succeeded in making his wife Marta happy. A rival of Calogero persuades the impoverished magician Otto Marvuglia to magic Marta away, but to his dismay she actually disappears. Out of necessity, the sorcerer hands the raving husband a casket to appease him: If he succeeds in opening it, believing in true love, he could find his wife in it. But even after seven years, Calogero persists in the illusion imposed on him, and Marta's sudden return doesn't change that.
The liveliness of opera as an "outrageous art" is particularly impressive in "La Grande Magia", which, after its world premiere in 2008 at the Dresden Semperoper, has now been staged at MiR for the second time. Manfred Trojahn, who lives in Düsseldorf, calls this mysterious game of life and lies, based on a play by Eduardo de Filippo, “narrative music theatre”, born of the passion “not being able to keep your hands off the theatre”. In a Mediterranean atmosphere - "Seascape with night wind" is the name of an interlude - a confusing thought experiment unfolds, how a person succumbs to an extreme psychological situation and transforms it into a life plan.

English

Auf der Seeterrasse des Hotels Metropole zeigt sich schnell, wie rissig die Fassade der ehrenwerten Familie Di Spelta ist: Calogero ist es nicht gelungen, seine Frau Marta glücklich zu machen. Ein Nebenbuhler Calogeros überredet den verarmten Zauberkünstler Otto Marvuglia dazu, Marta fortzuzaubern, doch zu dessen Schrecken verschwindet sie wirklich. Aus der Not heraus reicht der Zauberer dem rasenden Ehemann zur Beschwichtigung eine Schatulle: Gelänge es ihm, diese im Glauben an die wahre Liebe zu öffnen, könne er seine Gattin darin finden. Doch selbst nach sieben Jahren noch verharrt Calogero in der ihm auferlegten Illusion, daran ändert auch die plötzliche Rückkehr Martas nichts.
Die Lebendigkeit der Oper als „unerhörte Kunst“ zeigt sich besonders eindrucksvoll in „La Grande Magia“, nach der Uraufführung 2008 an der Dresdner Semperoper nun im MiR zum zweiten Mal überhaupt auf die Bühne gebracht. „Erzählendes Musiktheater“, aus der Leidenschaft entstanden, „die Finger nicht vom Theater lassen zu können“, nennt der in Düsseldorf lebende Manfred Trojahn dieses geheimnisvolle Lebens- und Lügenspiel nach einem Schauspiel von Eduardo de Filippo. In mediterraner Atmosphäre – „Seestück mit Nachtwind“ heißt ein Zwischenspiel – entspinnt sich ein verwirrendes Gedankenexperiment, wie ein Mensch einer psychologischen Extremsituation verfällt und diese in einen Lebensentwurf verwandelt.
