Pozývame Vás na novú inscenáciu svetoznámej opery Richarda Wagnera Tannhäuser, ktorá sa na javisko Historickej budovy Národného divadla Košice vracia po 65 r...

Po takmer 65 rokoch sa vracia na scénu Opery NDKE romantická opera Richarda Wagnera, ktorej celý názov znie Tannhäuser a zápas spevákov na Wartburgu. Wagner skomponoval túto operu počas svojho drážďanského obdobia, kde pôsobil ako kapelmajster a premiéru mala v roku 1845. Inšpiroval sa ľudovou baladou o Tannhäuserovi, mýtickým Venušiným pahorkom (Venusberg) a v ňom prebývajúcou bohyňou Venušou, ktorá v stredovekej legende niekedy vystupovala aj ako Frau Holda – nordická bohyňa podsvetia Hel.

V opere vystupujú aj historické postavy ako sv. Alžbeta Durínska (Uhorská), Hermann I. Durínsky, minnesänger Tannhäuser a nemeckí stredovekí básnici Wolfram von Eschenbach a Walther von der Vogelweide. Najmä postava sv. Alžbety je zviazaná so Slovenskom, keďže podľa niektorých prameňov sa narodila v Bratislave, kde prežila prvé štyri roky svojho života a v Košiciach je jej zasvätený Dóm sv. Alžbety, najväčší chrám na území Slovenska. Richard Wagner prepojil tieto legendy i historické postavy s legendou o súťaži spevákov na hrade Wartburg (v nemčine doslova Sängerkrieg, čo značí vojna spevákov), ale určite mu nešlo o historickú vernosť. Témou jeho opery je rozpor medzi zmyselnou a duchovnou láskou, ktoré sú reprezentované na jednej strane Venušou a na druhej Alžbetou, ale i rozpoltenosť moderného človeka, ktorý je zmietaný protikladmi a nevie sa medzi nimi rozhodnúť.

Tannhäuser je jedinou operou Richarda Wagnera, ktorá vznikla vo viacerých verziách (drážďanská, parížska, viedenská). Zaoberal sa ňou celý život a s jej podobou nebol spokojný do samého konca (v predvečer svojej smrti v Benátkach povedal: „Dlžím ešte svetu Tannhäusera“.) Podoba našej inscenácie bude tzv. Mischfassung – zmiešaná verzia z viacerých, kde bude dominovať na začiatku veľká baletná hudba bakchanálií a jej témou bude tzv. wagnerovský kult po smrti skladateľa ako i život a osud jeho jediného syna Siegfrieda, ktorý bol sám skladateľom, dirigentom, režisérom a intendantom bayreuthského festivalu.

slovenčina

After nearly 65 years, the romantic opera by Richard Wagner is returning to the stage of the NDKE Opera, whose full title is "Tannhäuser and the Minnesängers' Contest at Wartburg". Wagner composed this opera during his Dresden period, where he worked as a conductor, and it premiered in 1845. He was inspired by the folk ballad of Tannhäuser, the mythical Venusberg, and the goddess Venus, who sometimes appeared as Frau Holda in medieval legend, a Nordic goddess of the underworld Hel.

 

The opera features historical figures such as Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, Hermann I of Thuringia, minnesänger Tannhäuser, and German medieval poets Wolfram von Eschenbach and Walther von der Vogelweide. The character of Saint Elizabeth is particularly associated with Slovakia, as some sources suggest she was born in Bratislava, where she spent the first four years of her life, and in Košice, the largest cathedral in Slovakia is dedicated to her, St. Elizabeth's Cathedral. Richard Wagner intertwined these legends and historical figures with the legend of the singing competition at Wartburg Castle (known as the Sängerkrieg in German, meaning the War of the Singers), but historical accuracy was not his primary concern. The theme of his opera revolves around the conflict between sensual and spiritual love, represented on one side by Venus and on the other by Elizabeth, as well as the ambivalence of the modern individual torn between contradictions and unable to make a choice.

 

"Tannhäuser" is the only opera by Richard Wagner that exists in multiple versions (Dresden, Paris, Vienna). He was preoccupied with it throughout his life and was never entirely satisfied with its form (on the eve of his death in Venice, he said, "I still owe the world Tannhäuser"). Our production will be a "Mischfassung" – a mixed version from several, where the large ballet music of the bacchanalia will dominate at the beginning. The theme will be the "Wagnerian cult" after the composer's death, as well as the life and fate of his only son, Siegfried, who was himself a composer, conductor, director, and intendant of the Bayreuth Festival.
