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.

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.
