Romantische Oper in drei Aufzügen von Herzog Ernst II. von Sachsen-Coburg und GothaNicht nur Meiningen konnte sich eines Theaterherzogs rühmen – auch Ernst I...

Not only Meiningen could boast of a theater duke - Ernst II of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha was also extremely committed to music. He devoted two years to composing his opera “Santa Chiara”, which premiered in 1854 at the Gotha Court Theater under Franz Liszt. Quickly absorbed into the domestic and foreign repertoire, the work experienced no fewer than 60 acclaimed performances at the Paris Opera in 1855. In a skilful symbiosis, Italian bel canto merges with German songs, seasoned with the necessary dose of drama. Action and libretto, on the other hand, do not always follow the laws of logic. The subject is based on the story of Tsarevich Alexej, who married Princess Charlotte von Wolfenbüttel in 1710 for political reasons. soon weary of his wife, he tries to get rid of the unloved woman with poison. But the doctor only gives her a sleeping potion. Charlotte manages to flee to Italy, where she is worshiped as Santa Chiara near Naples. A coincidence, the likes of which only happens in opera, also ends up in the same area for the fugitive Alexej. At the sight of those believed dead, he transports himself to the afterlife.

With Hendrik Müller, a director has been won who celebrates international success in the field of rediscoveries, so that one can look forward to an extraordinary opera evening.

Mit Hendrik Müller konnte ein Regisseur gewonnenen werden, der auf dem Gebiet von Wiederentdeckungen internationale Erfolge feiert, so dass man auf einen außergewöhnlichen Opernabend gespannt sein darf.
