Madama Butterfly
Guest performance of the Slovak National Theatre, Bratislava Director: Peter Konwitschny Conductor: Oliver Dohnanyi 9 February 2010
|
Peter Konwitschny is considered to be one of the most intriguing opera directors nowadays. In his interpretation in the Slovak National Theatre Puccini’s Japanese tragedy becomes a surprisingly actual story of human relations. Butterfly’s destiny is the result of the failure of natural, clear humanity as opposed to the inhumanity of social conventions. The story is valid in our “wise” and “modern”, 21st century western civilization as well.
Emil Petrovics: C’est la guerre
Conductor: Gregory Vajda
Director: Gábor Kerényi Miklós
29 January 2010 |  Among the Hungarian highlights of the season, Petrovics’ C’est la guerre is a must see. The one act opera was first broadcast on Hungarian radio in 1961, staged in Budapest a year later. The January performance recalls the 2001 staging directed by Gábor Kerényi Miklós. Text: Miklós Hubay, set designer: Attila Csikós. Further dates: 4,7, February. Photo: Béla Mezey
