La juive Halévy

La juive (occasionally called The Cardinal's Daughter) by Jacques Fromental Halévy, which earned the composer instant renown in 19th-century Europe and perpetuated his name in the operatic world, reappears on the Lithuanian opera stage. "La juive" had its first Lithuanian production in 1927 and remained on active repertoire up to 1940. Undeservedly banished from European stages in the aftermath of the Second World War, in recent years it has been restored to life along with the great masterpieces of the19th-century French opera such as Gounod's "Faust", Bizet's "Carmen" and others and has captivated the audiences ever since with its fabulous melodies, sumptuous staging and the universal themes of love and hatred, hope and desperation.

"La juive" had its world premiere on 23 February 1835 at Paris Opéra, instantly making Halévy's name known all over musical Europe. Although Halévy wrote an impressive array of stage works (including 36 operas), none of them equalled the success of La juive. It was the grandest spectacle of all 19th-century grand operas offered at Paris Opéra, with massed choral and classical ballet scenes, a breathtaking procession in Act 1, ravishing festivities of Act 3, and a tragic climax in Act 5. Today the opera is usually performed with cuts, retaining all the magnitude through an enormous cast employed and august massed scenes, if not through its formidable duration.

The eminent director Günter Krämer works out every single detail to exhaustion in his version of La juive. Costumes and properties are designed in keeping with historical and ethnic traditions; thus you will not only see genuine Jewish felt hats and veils, tefillin and menorah, but also genuine silver and genuine passions.

Such feedback has accompanied one of LNOBT’s most successful productions, J. Fr. Halevy's opera "La juive". Having premiered at our theatre in 2004, it became one of the most outstanding performances in our repertoire, filled with artistic allure and generating highest impact. It was also the last opera staged by maestro Jonas Aleksa, one of the most famous Lithuanian conductors. And indeed, "La juive" has become the most coveted opera on LNOBT’s tours, and has been shown with great success at three international festivals in Hungary, Poland and Slovenia. The opera was recorded and released on DVD, which has now become a bibliographic rarity. The same production also premiered at the Gothenburg Theatre, where our soprano Regina Šilinskaitė sang the role of Eudoxie in all performances.  Time passed, many people watched this opera, some of them even a few times ... And behold, after years of silence, Fr.  Halevy's opera "La juive" returns to the LNOBT with new energy. The same wonderful production, the same immortal Fr.  Halevy's music; but a new edition by the director, new artists, new impressions, new emotions.

“La juive” made its composer Jacques Fromental Halévy famous throughout Europe, bringing him fame and immortality. It was produced in Lithuania in 1927, and lasted in the repertoire until 1940. Undeservedly banished from European stages in the aftermath of the Second World War, in recent years it has been restored to life along with the great masterpieces of the19th-century French opera, such as Gounod’s “Faust”, Bizet’s “Carmen” and others, and has captivated the audiences ever since with its fabulous melodies, sumptuous staging and the universal themes of love and hatred, hope and desperation.
