New National Theatre Opera "Die Fledermaus" Digest Video Die Fledermaus-NNTT

新国立劇場オペラ「こうもり」ダイジェスト映像　Die Fledermaus-NNTT

Die Fledermaus is one of the greatest operetta masterpieces by The Waltz King, Johann Strauss II. This supreme piece of musical theatre exhilarates audiences with its beautiful waltzes and polkas, light, refined satire and humour. By the denouement, the venue is joyfully awash in song, dance and drama. This blithe, flamboyant work is well known as a staple of year-end/new-year Vienna.

The production was directed by Heinz Zednik, a renowned tenor who also holds the title of Kammersänger of Vienna State Opera. Zednik debuted as a director in 2006 with this production, and directed the Volksoper Wien's Die Fledermaus the following year. Born in Vienna and with a repertoire that includes the four roles in Die Fledermaus, Zednik personifies the Viennese spirit. This orthodox production makes ample use of elegant yet delightfully unconventional devices, fully conveying the charms of this joyful operetta.

Patrick Hahn, a young, Austrian conductor offering a host of talents such as jazz piano, makes his debut at the New National Theatre Tokyo, along with a fresh and vibrant cast.

ワルツ王シュトラウスⅡ世が手がけたオペレッタの最高傑作『こうもり』。シャンパンの泡が弾けるような心躍る序曲を皮切りにシュトラウスの軽快で洒脱な音楽が続き、美しいワルツやポルカにのせてユーモアいっぱいの喜劇が繰り広げられます。親しみやすい音楽と共に、小粋なユーモアや風刺が観客の心を高揚させ、大団円を迎える頃には歌と踊りと芝居に劇場中が幸福な空気でいっぱいに。ウィーン年末年始の風物詩としてもおなじみです。
演出はウィーン宮廷歌手の名テノール歌手ハインツ・ツェドニク。ウィーン気質を熟知するツェドニクによる、エレガントで洒脱な仕掛けがふんだんに用意された正統的な演出が『こうもり』の魅力を余すところなく伝えます。アール・デコ調の華やかな美術・衣裳も大きな見どころ。金色に輝く幾何学模様や官能的なラインの衣裳など、クリムトを彷彿させるデザインもファンの心をくすぐります。目に耳にウィーン洗練の美と洒落た風刺が続く『こうもり』は、まさに大人のためのエンターテインメントです。
オーストリア出身でジャズピアノなど多才ぶりを発揮する若手指揮者パトリック・ハーンが新国立劇場初登場を飾るほか、フレッシュなキャストが華やかに揃います。
