	Bayerische Staatsoper - HOME
		Opera for all - this motto so closely connected with the Munich Opera Festival - will have a special meaning for our Festival première, because the new opera, Alice in Wonderland, which Korean composer Unsuk Chin is writing in collaboration with her librettist, David Henry Whang (author of the acclaimed and award winning play, M.
		She mixes and matches well-known parameters, uses rhythm as color, color as tempo, interweaves catchy tunes with unexpected harmonies - the ideal artist to give operatic life to the equally zany and philosophical story of Alice on her way through the land of wonders.
		In a co-production with the Hamburg State Opera we will present this masterwork of opera buffa in a production by Christof Loy, who, since his successes with Saul, Roberto Devereux and Alcina ranks among the favorite stage directors at the Bavarian State Opera.

	Alcina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alcina is an opera seria by George Frideric Handel.
		Like the composer's other works in the opera seria genre, it fell into obscurity; after a revival in Brunswick in 1738 it was not performed again until a production in Leipzig in 1928.
		Since 2005 the Bavarian State Opera is staging the work in Munich with Anja Harteros in the title role and Vesselina Kasarova as Ruggiero.

	Auditions for German Orchestras
		The Munich opera, for those who don't know it, is one of the very top European companies, and one which to this day upholds the strongest tradition of the repertoire system, in which operas and ballets are rehearsed and premiered and can then stay in the repertoire, sometimes for years.
		The Bavarian State Orchestra, of which I was a member, has an almost 500 year history (earlier as court orchestra), and lists in the earliest journals Orlando di Lasso as conductor and an orchestra of decidedly Italian heritage.
		It has been facetiously stated that "every train station in Germany has an opera house", and while this is not exactly true (I have been in many train stations there that did not have opera houses), the number of orchestras offering full time employment to musicians is enviously high.

		Her performances of these heavy dramatic soprano roles in the world's major opera houses are highly acclaimed as are her recordings of the complete operas: "Tristan und Isolde" with Leonard Bernstein conducting the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra and "Salome" with Herbert von Karajan conducting the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.

	WAGNER The Ring. Various/Bavarian SO/Sawallisch (EMI) - INKPOT
		The Bavarian State Orchestra immediately stamps its authority on the music-making, be it the comical depiction of Alberich's sneezing on horns, the grand sweep of motivic ideas as the dwarf ascends the rock to steal the Ring, or the heavy treads of Fafner and Fasolt's entry.
		Robert Hale's performance at this pivotal point of the cycle is superlative, only surpassed later at the close of the opera as he kisses Brünnhilde's godhead away at the loss of a beloved daughter, coming after Behrens's impassioned lamentation and pleas for mercy.
		Coming from a live recording of four long operas performed on successive nights, one can hardly blame the singers for this - Wagner's demands on his singers are extreme, and by this point, one can expect little more than everyone going onstage, belting out their lines until the musical marathon ends.

		Trendiness—often at the expense of an opera’s score and libretto—seems to be the House-Motto.
