Inhalt
eine blühende Schönheit
Gerade 150 geworden, doch immer noch eine blühende Schönheit: Carmen, die „Femme fatale“ der Opernbühne, erblickte 1875 das Licht der Theaterwelt, im selben Jahr, in dem Louise Farrenc die Augen schloss. Was die größte Sinfonikerin Frankreichs mit Bizets spanischer Oper zu tun hat, und warum auch eine junge Frau aus Arles dabei eine gute Figur macht, verrät Mei-Ann Chen in ihrem hinreißend schönen französischen Programm.
Programm
George Bizet : Carmen-Suite & L’Arlesienne-Suite Nr. 1 Louise Farrenc: Symphonie Nr. 3 in g (1847)
Intro
Jeweils 20 Minuten vor Vorstellungsbeginn erzählt Ihnen Intendant Mathis Huber etwas zur Geschichte des Abends.
Recreation is special in many ways: consisting of musicians whose nationalities range from Japan to Venezuela, most of the members received part of their training in Graz. After its formation in 2002, the collective has played in unique halls such as the Alte Oper Frankfurt and has worked with outstanding conductors.
Born in Taiwan, Mei-Ann Chen has lived in the US since 1989 and holds a doctorate in music (conducting) and a master’s degree in violin performance. One of America’s most promising young conductors, she was the first woman to win the Malko International Conductors Competition and has been appointed chief conductor of Recreation Graz beginning fall 2021.
