Op een verloederde boerderij vechten de dieren zich vrij van hun heerszuchtige boer, maar al snel moeten zij hun schouders buigen naar het juk van een nieuwe heerser uit eigen gelederen. Een wereldpremière om reikhalzend naar uit te kijken: de operabewerking van Orwells tijdloze boek over een mislukte bevrijdingsstrijd.

George Orwell schreef Animal Farm als actuele parabel over de ontaarding van de Russische Revolutie in Stalins dictatuur. Maar ook nu is het satirische verhaal nog pijnlijk herkenbaar. “All animals are equal but some are more equal than others”: het wereldnieuws toont telkens weer varianten van dezelfde plot.

Het was een langgekoesterde wens van regisseur Damiano Michieletto om Animal Farm naar het operatoneel te brengen. De netelige verwikkelingen en scherp getekende karakters zijn een kolfje naar zijn hand. Met Alexander Raskatov kreeg Michieletto’s droomproject zijn ideale componist.

Raskatov bewerkte met zijn onstuimige opera A Dog’s Heart (2010) al eerder een literair meesterwerk tot weergaloos muziektheater. In Animal Farm verwerkt Raskatov bovendien zijn eigen toespelingen op de beladen politieke geschiedenis van Rusland.

Animal Farm brengt de Nederlandse zangers Marcel Beekman en Helena Rasker terug op ons toneel, samen met onder anderen bariton Misha Kiria (Il barbiere di Siviglia, 2018), die geknipt lijkt voor de grimmigkomische rol van het bazige varken Napoleon. Het Nederlands Kamerorkest staat onder leiding van de jonge Libanees-Poolse dirigent Bassem Akiki, die internationaal indruk wekt met zijn uitvoeringen van gevestigd repertoire én hedendaagse opera’s.

Nederlands

A group of animals stages a rebellion on a dilapidated farm to free themselves from a tyrannical farmer, only to be subjugated to a new despot from their own ranks. A must-see world premiere: Orwell’s timeless classic about a fight for freedom doomed to failure.

George Orwell wrote Animal Farm as a contemporaneous cautionary parable, highlighting how easy it was for the Russian revolution to degenerate into Stalin’s violent dictatorship. The warning in Orwell’s political satire remains relevant today. “All animals are equal but some are more equal than others” – the world news keeps offering up subtle variations on the same theme.

Damiano Michieletto had always dreamt of adapting Animal Farm, with its powerful characterisations and surprising twists and turns, for the opera stage. In Alexander Raskatov, the perfect composer for his dream project was found.

Raskatov himself is no stranger to adapting fiction to opera. In 2010, he adapted the literary masterpiece A Dog’s Heart, creating a compelling and fiery musical piece that was unlike any other. In Animal Farm, Raskatov also incorporates his own allusions to Russia’s fraught political history.

This staging of Animal Farm will see Dutch tenor Marcel Beekman and contralto Helena Rasker return to the stage of Dutch National Opera, as well as baritone Misha Kiria (Il barbiere di Siviglia, 2018), who is an ideal fit for the grim-comic role of Napoleon – the autocratic pig. They are joined in the pit by the Netherlands Chamber Orchestra, under the baton of up-and-coming Lebanese-Polish conductor Bassem Akiki, who has achieved international acclaim with his interpretations of both the classical repertoire as well as contemporary operas.
