Suor Angelica Puccini

Public

Approved

Experience a dream team of 14 female soloists in this modern version of Puccini's classic opera about social shaming, coercion, and maternal love. 'Sister Angelica' is staged by the sought after Israeli director Noa Naamat and the opera rounds off Copenhagen Opera Festival's Il Trittico series.
Puccini did not have much sympathy for the indifference of the public's reception for `Sister Angelica` when it premiered in 1918. “I just want people to cry. That's all” he said. Since then, the one-act opera, one of the rarest operas written exclusively for female soloists, has been embraced as a true operatic classic. This year Copenhagen Opera Festival presents its own production, inspired by the power of light. In the production, Puccini's heartbreaking portrait of a woman is transformed into a psychological thriller, where the protagonist bravely questions society's rules and takes control of her own life.

 

Soprano Yana Kleyn, Opera Talent of the Year 2022, will be performing the title role of Sister Angelica, who has been forced into a convent after giving birth to an illegitimate child receiving tragic news about her son, seven years later. The production also features award-winning Frederikke Kampmann and the British mezzo-soprano Sarah Pring, who also took part in the first two Operas of Il Trittico, "Gianni Schicchi" and "Il Tabarro" in 2021 and 2022 respectively.

English

Oplev et drømmehold af 14 kvindelige solister i denne moderne version af Puccini-klassikeren om social skam, tvang og moderkærlighed. ‘Suor Angelica’ afrunder Copenhagen Opera Festivals Il Trittico-serie og er iscenesat af den efterspurgte israelske instruktør Noa Naamat.
Puccini havde ikke meget tilovers for samtidens mellemfornøjede modtagelse af ‘Suor Angelica’ ved premieren i 1918. “Jeg vil bare gerne have folk til at græde. Det er alt,” erklærede han. Siden er enakteren, der på yderst sjælden vis er skrevet udelukkende til kvindelige solister, blevet omfavnet som en sand operaklassiker, og på årets festival præsenterer vi vores helt egen opsætning, inspireret af lysets kraft. Hermed bliver Puccinis hjerteskærende kvindeportræt forvandlet til en psykologisk thriller, hvor hovedpersonen på modig vis sætter spørgsmålstegn ved samfundets regler og tager kontrollen over sit eget liv.

 

Glæd dig til sopran Yana Kleyn, sidste års Årets Operatalent, i titelrollen som den unge Angelica, der er blevet tvunget i kloster efter at have født et barn udenfor ægteskab og syv år senere får tragisk nyt. Kleyn stråler side om side med blandt andre den prisvindende sopran Frederikke Kampmann og den britiske mezzosopran Sarah Pring, som også kunne opleves på festivalen i 2021 og 2022 i de to første operaer i Il Trittico-serien, ‘Gianni Schicchi’ og ‘Il Tabarro’.
