Farinelli

Approved

Vi har haft bragende succes med Farinelli i den forgangne sæson, og glæder os til at spille den for endnu flere i de danske teaterforeninger i 2022/2023.
Emils Reesens Farinelli er en dansk operette, der med stor munterhed beskriver sangens og musikkens opmuntrende og helbredende virk­ning. Den er skrevet i 1941, og er nok tænkt som en tiltrængt afveksling fra 2. verdenskrigs triste hverdag. Den er særdeles frit baseret på den historiske kastratsanger Farinellis liv og for­skellige tidligere dramatiseringer. Mange af de iørefaldende melodier er siden blevet folkeeje.

Guido Paevatalu har i samarbejde med titel­ rolleindehaver Niels Jørgen Riis og kapelmester Leif Greibe bearbejdet Mogens Dams oprin­delige tekst til en mere nutidig version med et personligt islæt. Handlingen er et sprudlende drama om bortførsler, statskup, utroskab, rænkespil og sågar den spanske inkvisition – altsammen uden at det nogensinde bliver rigtigt farligt. En forestilling med gennemslagskraft og masser af godt humør!

We have had great success with Farinelli in the past season, and look forward to playing it for even more people in the Danish theater associations in 2022/2023.
Emils Reesen's Farinelli is a Danish operetta that cheerfully describes the encouraging and healing effect of song and music. It was written in 1941, and was probably intended as a much-needed diversion from the sad everyday life of the Second World War. It is very loosely based on the life of the historical castrato singer Farinelli and various earlier dramatizations. Many of the catchy melodies have since become popular.

Guido Paevatalu, in collaboration with title role holder Niels Jørgen Riis and bandmaster Leif Greibe, has adapted Mogens Dam's original text into a more contemporary version with a personal touch. The plot is an exuberant drama about abductions, coup d'état, adultery, intrigue and even the Spanish Inquisition - all without it ever becoming really dangerous. A performance with impact and lots of good mood!
