Halévy: La Juive

Halévy: La Juive / Act 2 - Prière: "O Dieu, Dieu de nos pères"

Love, death and mystery make La Juive a compelling opera which shakes spectators to the core. Composed by Fromental Halévy in 1835, it replicates the lavish aesthetics of French grand opera, presenting a vast historical fresco, with a story of religious fanaticism set in 15th century Germany. The title character is Rachel, daughter of the wealthy goldsmith Éléazar: there is a secret hidden in her past that could save her, but her father’s religious obscurantism and the context in which she lives means she ultimately meets a tragic end.
For the opera, Halévy wrote grandiose ensemble pieces and seductive melodies, proving himself to be a true maestro of orchestration, capable of expressing characters and situations with precision and power. The result was admired by many of his contemporaries, including Wagner and Mahler, and impressed audiences across the world, including in Turn, where the opera was last performed in 1885. A century and a half later, the staging of this immense work is therefore something of an historic event, also thanks to the involvement of the illustrious conductor, Daniel Oren, and the visionary director, Stefano Poda. His new production will translate the experience of opera into an opportunity for open reflection on universal issues, transcending the geographies and time period of the original story. In this hugely symbolic work, Éléazar - one of the most complex tenor roles in the French repertoire - will be played by Gregory Kunde, while the part of his daughter Rachel will be taken by Mariangela Sicilia.

English

Amore, morte e mistero fanno della Juive un’opera avvincente che scuote lo spettatore nel profondo. Composta da Fromental Halévy nel 1835, segue l’estetica fastosa del grand-opéra francese proponendo un vasto affresco storico, con una vicenda di fanatismo religioso ambientata nella Germania del XV secolo. L’ebrea del titolo è Rachel, figlia del ricco gioielliere Éléazar: nel suo passato si nasconde un segreto che potrebbe salvarla, ma l’oscurantismo religioso del padre e del contesto in cui vive la condurranno a una fine tragica.

Per l’opera, Halévy scrisse brani di assieme grandiosi e melodie seducenti, dimostrandosi un vero maestro nell’orchestrazione, capace di delineare con precisione e potenza personaggi e situazioni. Il risultato lasciò ammirati molti colleghi, tra questi Wagner e Mahler, ed entusiasmò il pubblico di tutto il mondo; anche quello torinese, che applaudì l’opera per l’ultima volta nel 1885. Un secolo e mezzo dopo, la riproposizione di questo immenso lavoro si prefigura dunque come un evento storico, anche grazie alla presenza di un direttore di grande prestigio, Daniel Oren, e di un regista visionario, Stefano Poda. La sua nuova produzione saprà tradurre l’esperienza dell’opera in una opportunità di riflessione aperta su temi dalla valenza universale, trascendendo i riferimenti geografici e temporali della vicenda. In questa proposta carica di simboli, Éléazar, uno dei ruoli tenorili più complessi del repertorio francese, sarà interpretato da Gregory Kunde, sua figlia Rachel da Mariangela Sicilia.
