Maskarade | Mascarade
op\u00e9ra de Carl Nielsen<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026On avoue surtout tomber sous le charme de la musique du compositeur danois, jou\u00e9e avec pr\u00e9cision par le Frankfurter Opern\u2013 und Museumsorchester, plac\u00e9 sous la direction de Benjamin Reiners. D\u00e8s l\u2019Ouverture, elle se fait vive, p\u00e9tillante, l\u00e9g\u00e8re parfois comme une op\u00e9rette et souvent dansante pour \u00e9voquer le bal costum\u00e9\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ConcertoNet <\/a>by Ossama el Naggar<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Frankfurt Oper\u2019s ensemble has a ball<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…German conductor Benjamin Reiners skillfully managed Nielsen\u2019s delightful score, combining appealing melodies with deceptively complex harmony and subtle dynamic shifts. The final act, more orchestral than operatic, is musically the richest. Reiners ably emphasized the score\u2019s lush sonorities and intoxicating textures. To some extent, the orchestra\u2019s dominance in this final act may explain why Maskarade<\/em> never succeeded as an opera (outside of Denmark). Though this staging was an excellent introduction to a mostly unknown work, I long for a more convincing presentation that would reveal the true genius of Nielsen and Holberg.<\/em>..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heitere d\u00e4nische Nationaloper \u00bbMaskerade\u00ab wieder an der Oper Frankfurt<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

OPER AKTUELL<\/a> by Kaspar Sannemann<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Die d\u00e4nische Nationaloper MASKARADE (in deutschen Fassungen MASKERADE) von Carl Nielsen r\u00fcckt zunehmend ins Blickfeld der Programmgestaltung anderer europ\u00e4ischer Opernh\u00e4user<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…Denn nicht nur das T\u00e4nzerisch-Szenische auf der B\u00fchne, sondern auch das Musikalische, das der Dirigent Benjamin Reiners<\/strong> zusammen mit dem hervorragend differenziert und mit rhythmischer Leidenschaft spielenden Frankfurter Opern- und Museumsorchester<\/strong> hervorzaubert, macht gewaltigen Eindruck. Die Vorspiele zu den Akten, die musikalischen Perlen des ber\u00fchmten Hahnentanzes oder der Ballettpantomime und die hochinteressant instrumentierte Untermalung der singenden Charaktere werden fulminant, aber nie zu dick aufgetragen gespielt und verharren in einer transparenten, beschwingten Leichtigkeit. Wie gesagt, man verl\u00e4sst die Oper danach mit leicht federndem Schritt und einem L\u00e4cheln auf den Lippen!<\/em>…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
