This performance marks a Chinese premiere, but in fact, very few of Haydn’s operas have ever graced the country’s stages. In the past 50 years, Haydn’s operas have increasingly appeared around the world, gradually revealing that the “father of symphonies and string quartets” was also an accomplished opera composer. Although Il mondo della luna was created in 1777, it is veritable science fiction based on Goldoni’s play imagining life on the moon. Today, sci-fi appears not only in print but also in moving images capturing the public imagination. With advances in aeronautics, the world sees a beam of light for space travel, making Haydn’s opera all the more fascinating. Following the BMF’s commitment in exploring and developing operatic repertoire, this production of Il mondo della luna combines classical musical styles with modern theater, providing the audience with new perspectives in appreciating opera. The cast includes many young Chinese singers now active on the world’s operatic stage. They work with director Liming Yi and conductor Yu Ji leading the Central Conservatory of Music Graduate Students’ Orchestra, along with young Beijing-based singers interested in early opera, engendering a unique Chinese take on romance in space.
The BMF has recently produced opera productions in different venues around the city heralding a New Wave in operatic culture. Last June, the century-old Dahua Cinema north of Chang’an Avenue was revitalized, and the new Dahua City Center for the Performing Arts, a brand-new arts organization with a dozen theaters in various sizes along with rehearsal spaces, opened to become a new venue on Beijing’s performing arts map. On the occasion of the BMF’s 25th anniversary, the Dahua City Center for the Performing Arts co-produces Haydn’s Il mondo della luna with the BMF, offering opera on an urban landscape for the wider audience.
