Bavarian State Opera

Tradition, continuity and an impressive repertoire: these are the solid pillars supporting the Bavarian State Opera – one of the world’s leading opera houses. It can look back proudly on a cultural history of over 350 years. Thanks to a court tradition, opera found a home in Munich in 1653; since then its music-historical and sociopolitical development has continued in a way unparalleled anywhere else, worldwide. The Bavarian State Opera, with some 600,000 persons attending its over 300 performances each year, makes a major contribution to Munich’s reputation as one of the great international cultural capitals. In the course of a single season, over 30 operas from five centuries are performed along with ballets, concerts and song recitals. This makes the programme of the Bavarian State Opera one of the most richly varied performance schedules of all the international opera houses. Celebrating Giuseppe Verdi‘s 200th birthday in 2013, the Bavarian State Opera will present three new interpretations of operas by the Italian composer. Rigoletto, Simon Boccanegra and Il trovatore are among the seven premieres of the 2012/13 season. In addition, the programme includes the world premiere of Babylon, a new work by Jörg Widmann, as well as Modest Mussorgsky‘s Boris Godunow, a new interpretation of the fairytale opera Hänsel und Gretel and Written on Skin by George Benjamin, an opera which has just been completed.

Written on Skin Opera in three parts • 2012 Text by Martin Crimp Conductor Kent Nagano Production Katie Mitchell Stage and Costume Designer Vickie Mortimer Lighting Designer Jon Clark

A rich landowner invites an artist into his house to make an illuminated book. He wants the book to immortalise in pictures both the violent operation of his political power and his peaceful enjoyment of domestic order – embodied by the humility and child-like obedience of his wife, Agnès.

— The Protector Christopher Purves — Agnès Barbara Hannigan — Angel 1 – The Boy Iestyn Davies — Angel 2 – Marie Victoria Simmonds — Angel 3 – John Allan Clayton

But the making of the book becomes a catalyst for the woman’s rebellion. After her first successful experiment in seduction, she exploits her new intimacy with the illuminator to influence the contents of the book itself – forcing her husband to see her as she really is – and laying the ground for an extraordinary final act of defiance.

First Performance in Germany Prince Regent Theatre Tue 23.07.13 19:00 h Ticket prices PB Premiere Thur 25.07.13 19:00 h Ticket prices PC Sat 27.07.13 19:00 h Ticket prices PC

A thirteenth century Provençal story enacted under the dispassionate gaze of twenty-first century angels, Written on Skin explores the disruptive consequences of self-discovery, and the limits of the power one human being can hold over another.

Bavarian State Ballet

The Bavarian State Ballet, under the artistic leadership of Ivan Liška since 1998, has become one of the most distinguished ensembles of the international dance world. The company is well-known for its diverse repertory which includes more than fifty works: from full-length 20th century classics, to neo-classicism and modern dance. During the 2012/13 season, the focus will be on the “Departure towards Modernity”. Two world premieres will be presented during the season: Terence Kohler’s full-length work Helden and a new commission by avant-garde choreographer Richard Siegal. In addition, other premieres will consist of milestones from 20th century modern dance repertory, including works by Limón, Massine and Cunningham. Classical masterworks by Neumeier, MacMillan, Ashton, Kylián, Robbins and Petipa complete the 2012/13 season at the Bavarian State Ballet. supported by

Bavarian State Orchestra

The Bavarian State Orchestra emerged from one of the oldest orchestras in Germany. Its origins of the Munich Court music can be traced back to the year 1523. The first renowned director of the Court Orchestra was the composer Orlando di Lasso, who was officially hired in 1563. In 1811 the Musical Academy, made up of members of the Court Orchestra, was founded. The Academy implemented the oldest concert series in Munich, the so-called Academy Concerts. During the 2011/12 season, the Academy of one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest and most historic orchestras celebrated its 200th birthday. Under King Ludwig I, the orchestra managed to win Franz Lachner as its first General Music Director in 1836. Since then, the most important artists of their time have served as heads of the orchestra, from Richard Strauss, Felix Mottl, through Bruno Walter, Hans Knappertsbusch, and Clemes Krauss, to Georg Solti, Ferenc Fricsay, Joseph Keilberth, and Wolfgang Sawallisch. In addition, there was an intense cooperation with Carlos Kleiber, who was a permanent guest conductor from 1976 to 1988. Zubin Mehta was head conductor and Bavarian General Music Director from 1998 to 2006. Starting with the 2006/2007 season, Kent Nagano has become his successor as Bavarian General Music Director.

Munich Opera Festival

Since 1875, the Bavarian State Opera has put on the Munich Opera Festival, the annual high point of Munich’s cultural summer. This makes it the oldest festival of its kind anywhere. During its five-week period, people from all over the world have an opportunity to enjoy a wide-ranging repertoire of operas – among them festival premières – and the latest productions. A comprehensive programme of ballet, concerts, song recitals and visual art rounds off the Munich Opera Festival schedule. In 2013 the premiere of Giuseppe Verdi’s Il trovatore, the premiere of Written on Skin by George Benjamin and one complete cycle of Wagner’s tetralogy The Ring of the Nibelung form the centrepiece of the festival programme.
