Hulkar Sabirova - LES VÊPRES SICILIENNES

LES VÊPRES SICILIENNES | HULKAR SABIROVA | BERLIN

Just days after her final Aida performance, Hulkar Sabirova returns to the stage of the Deutsche Oper Berlin on May 18, taking on the role of Hélène in Les vêpres siciliennes. Under the baton of Dominic Limburg, she will be joined by Valentyn Dytiuk as Henri, Dong-Hwan Lee as Montfort, and Roberto Tagliavini as Jean de Procida, among others. Additional performances are scheduled for May 24 and 28. Hélène was the role that solidified Sabirova's standing as a true Verdi soprano when she made her debut in this very Olivier Py production at the Deutsche Oper to widespread critical acclaim in 2022. More information about Hulkar Sabirova: https://www.operabase.com/hulkar-sabirova-a7145/de https://www.instagram.com/hulkar.sabirova.sopran/ About the production: This reference also forms the basis for the staging by French director Olivier Py, who has already demonstrated his sensitivity to the way grand opera engages with political themes at the Deutsche Oper Berlin, notably with Meyerbeer's Le Prophète. The French occupation of Algeria from Verdi's time to the 1950s serves as the backdrop for his telling of this story, in which Verdi, following La Traviata and Rigoletto, expands the focus of his music dramas: Not just the fate of the individual, but also their relationship to the well-being of entire nations is at the heart of Les vêpres siciliennes. Unconditional hatred, the will to reconcile, and the conflict between these extremes drive the actions of the main characters, as well as those of the occupiers and the oppressed. At the Deutsche Oper Berlin, this work, which has long been overshadowed by Verdi's other major operas, will be performed not in the long-standing Italian adaptation, but in the original French version from 1855.

On May 16 and 18, in Saarbrücken and Mannheim, respectively, Pietari Inkinen bids farewell to the Deutsche Radio Philharmonie, where he has served as Chief Conductor since 2018. These concerts, marking the culmination of a fruitful seven-year collaboration and aptly titled Hyvästi Pietari! (Farewell, Pietari!), feature works by composers the Finnish maestro has championed throughout his career. The program includes Anton Bruckner’s Symphony No. 7 in D Major and six lieder from Gustav Mahler’s Des Knaben Wunderhorn, performed in collaboration with acclaimed Mahler specialist, contralto Gerhild Romberger. More information about Pietari Inkinen: https://pietariinkinen.com/ https://www.drp-orchester.de/drp/orchester/chefdirigent104.html About the Conductor: At the age of four, Pietari Inkinen received his first musical lessons. As a teenager, the Finnish conductor, born in 1980, began studying the violin at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, where he also attended Jorma Panula's conducting class. Further studies took him to Zakhar Bron at the Cologne University of Music and back to Helsinki to Leif Segerstam. From 2008 to 2016, he was the chief conductor of the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, and in 2014 and 2015, he spent five years each as chief conductor of the Ludwigsburg Festival and the Prague Symphony Orchestra. A special place in the conductor's career is held by the music of Richard Wagner: in 2014, he conducted Der Ring des Nibelungen for the first time at Opera Australia in Melbourne, and in 2021, he conducted Die Walküre at the Bayreuth Festival. There, he conducted the complete Tetralogy in 2023. Pietari Inkinen is in demand worldwide at opera houses from Helsinki to Brussels, Dresden, and Berlin, and has also worked with the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia.

AIDA | HULKAR SABIROVA | BERLIN

Hulkar Sabirova takes on another significant role debut this evening, as she adds the title role of Aida to her repertoire at the Deutsche Oper Berlin. She stars in Benedikt von Peter’s production under the baton of Paolo Arrivabeni, joining a distinguished cast that includes SeokJong Baek as Radamès, Judit Kutasi as Amneris, Michael Bachtadze as Amonasro, Byung Gil Kim as Ramfis, Tobias Kehrer as The King, Thomas Ciluffo as the Messenger, and Sua Jo as the Priestess. Sabirova will return to the stage for an additional performance on May 22. The Uzbek-born soprano is rapidly earning acclaim as a leading verdiana. Just days after her final Aida appearance, she will remain at the Deutsche Oper to reprise her lauded portrayal of Hélène in Les vêpres siciliennes. This follows her acclaimed debut as Leonora di Vargas in La forza del destino in Lyon this past February. More information about Hulkar Sabirova: https://www.operabase.com/hulkar-sabirova-a7145/de https://www.instagram.com/hulkar.sabirova.sopran/ About the production: In this sense, director Benedikt von Peter interprets Verdi’s grand opéra AIDA as a "Requiem for Utopia," constantly observed by countless eyes of the public. In his production, he extends the performance into the entire auditorium of the Deutsche Oper Berlin. As in many of his other stagings, Benedikt von Peter reveals the opera’s inherent musical architecture and transfers it onto the physical structure of the audience space. Triumphal choruses of a nation at war are as much a part of this musical architecture as the fragile individuals caught in between: the loneliness of Radames, Amneris, and Aida. These three main characters perform on the front stage, encircled by two collectives: the orchestra on the main stage and the opera chorus, dispersed among the audience in the auditorium. In this production, the audience experiences Verdi’s score up close — seated right in the midst of the music. Have a look at our news: https://o-pr.net/news/ https://o-pr.net/
