Although Berlioz was quick and harsh in judgement, he wrote: “I recently experienced a great musical emotion on hearing Mendelssohn’s Elijah. It is magnificently grand, and indescribably sumptuous in harmony”. Mendelssohn wrote Elijah in 1846, ten years after the rousing success of St. Paul, his first oratorio. He pictured Elias “as a thorough prophet, such as we might again require in our own day – energetic and zealous, but also stern, wrathful, and gloomy; a striking contrast to the court rabble and popular rabble – in fact, in opposition to the whole world, and yet borne on angels’ wings.” St. Paul and Elijah respond to one another, with their portraying of the perpetual people, embodied in this version by the choir and orchestra. Elijah is probably the opera Mendelssohn has never composed, with its fitting theatrical power. Calixto Bieito directed it at the Theater an der Wien. The piece is now ready to premiere in France in this brand-new form, with Constantin Trinks as musical director.

English

« J’ai entendu le dernier oratorio de Mendelssohn. C’est magnifiquement grand et d’une somptuosité harmonique indescriptible » écrit Berlioz, qui avait la dent dure et le jugement au vitriol.
Mendelssohn compose Elias en 1846, dix ans après l’immense succès de son premier oratorio Paulus.
Il imagine alors Elias en : « vrai prophète, comme il nous en faudrait un de nos jours, puissant, fervent mais aussi volontiers coléreux et ombrageux, opposé au ramassis de courtisans et de canailles et à presque tout le reste, et cependant soutenu par les ailes des anges ».
Paulus et Elias se font écho. Avec le peuple éternel, ici incarné par le chœur et l’orchestre.
Elias est sans doute l’opéra que Mendelssohn n’a jamais composé, il en a, en tout cas, la puissance théâtrale. Calixto Bieito l’a mis en scène au Theater an der Wien, il est présenté pour la première fois en France sous cette forme inédite, avec la direction musicale de Constantin Trinks.
