In historischen Umbruchzeiten erfüllt euphorischer Jubel die Sieger, während auf Seiten der Verlierer sich die Angst breit macht. Wenn sich in Mozarts Stück Heiterkeit Bahn bricht, ist sie der schadenfreudige Abgesang auf absterbende Strukturen, alte Privilegien, überkommene Verfahrensweisen – auch der zwischen Mann und Frau. Mozart (und Beaumarchais) halten auf der Schwelle der Zeit die Balance – als Künstler auf dem Weg zur eigenen Selbstvermarktung, inhaltlich in der präzisen Zeichnung einer gewichtsverlagerten Gesellschaft mit Almaviva als lächerlicher Figur. Seine Klasse verliert politische Macht, und als Sklave seiner sexuellen Leidenschaft kompensiert er deren Verlust. Der Wind weht aus der Vergangenheit, dem Engel der Geschichte Walter Benjamins bläht er die Flügel. Er ist ein Sturm für die Sieger, für die Verlierer ein melancholischer Windstreif. Der Engel sieht nur Trümmer.

Deutsch

During times of historical upheaval, the victors are filled with euphoric jubilation while fear spreads on the side of the losers. When cheerfulness grips the figures in Mozart’s piece, it is the swan song, full of schadenfreude, of dying structures, ancient privileges and traditional manners – including those between man and woman. Mozart (and Beaumarchais) hold the balance on the threshold between eras – as artists en route to self-marketing, as portraitists of their times, by precisely rendering a society whose balance is shifting, making Almaviva a ridiculous figure. His class is losing political power, and he compensates for this loss by becoming a slave to his sexual desire. The wind is blowing from the past, giving wing to Walter Benjamin’s angel of history. It is a storm for the winners, and for the losers a mere melancholy breeze. The angel sees nothing but ruins.
