Der Vampyr

Music drama by Richard Strauss. Text based on Oscar Wilde's drama of the same name in the German translation by Hedwig Lachmann, abridged by the composer Premiere on February 12, 2022 Musical direction: Lukas Beikircher Director: KS Angela Denoke Equipment: Ocarina Peter, Timo Dentler Choreography: Martine Reyn Dramaturgy: Susanne Bieler ==== =================== CONTENT ======================= Many critical voices found Richard scandalous Strauss' music drama Salome. Given the bloodthirsty ending, that's hardly surprising. Salome is fascinated by the prophet Jochanaan, who is being held captive by her stepfather, King Herod. She wants to touch him, kiss him, but is repeatedly rejected by Jochanaan and finally cursed by him. This triggers perfidious thoughts of revenge in Salome. Herod's request She only manages to dance for him when he promises to fulfill her every wish. What she commands after her seductive "Dance of the Seven Veils" lets Herod freeze: "Give me the head of Jochanaan." material has a strong appeal to the audience. The fact that the work conquered all the major stages in Germany and abroad soon after its premiere in Dresden in 1905 is mainly due to the brilliant composition. Strauss, the musical dramatist, drives the action forward in breathless suspense with tonal sophistication and an expressivity heightened by sharp dissonances and draws haunting character images. She herself interpreted the role of Salome, which was as challenging in terms of acting as she was singing, on several occasions. Now she is directing Strauss's masterpiece for the first time: the internationally sought-after soprano KS Angela Denoke. ======================= CAST ======================= HEROD .. .Florian Stern HERODIAS ...
