The Rake’s Progress
Sun, 25-09-2022
6 p.m.
Staatstheater Mainz – Großes Haus
Igor Stravinsky and the librettists W. H. Auden and C. S. Kallman take up a Faustian motif: The fulfilment of desires in exchange for the soul. Within the three acts, young Tom Rakewell, guided by the devil Nick Shadow, spirals deeper and deeper into doom. Immo Karaman’s production makes it impressively clear: where one suffers, the other gains strength. A touching development of life. Musically convincing through irony and effective references to Mozart.

“That’s how they all do it”.
Mozart created Cosi van Tutte in 1790. He addresses, as he so often does, the subject of love: two couples are put to the test by Don Alfonso and his assistant Despina. Both Fiordiligi and Dorabella temporarily fail to be faithful…

Staatstheater Mainz – Großes Haus
Over many years Engelbert Humperdinck transformed a family Singspiel into a successful opera with his sister Adelheit Wette as librettist. The fairy tale story was realised semi-staged by Erik Raskopf in Corona times. Through this reduction, two main themes emerge: the mother’s excessive demand and exhaustion by poverty, and the ambiguity of the witch’s tale (devouring as a synonym for sexual abuse).

Carl Maria von Weber completed his most famous opera in 1821. He impressively sets to music the turmoil of Max, a hunter in crisis. The otherwise so accurate Max loses his self-confidence shortly before a shot that decides his personal and social fate. He becomes open to alleged help, which almost becomes his and his fiancée’s undoing…
