During his tenure, Zoltán Kocsis felt it was important to include complete operas on the programme of the Hungarian National Philharmonic – a conviction to which we owe both the memorable Richard Strauss productions and the reconstruction (itself credited to Kocsis) of Schönberg’s Moses und Aron. György Vashegyi also considers it a matter of importance for the orchestra and choir to offer a special experience to their audience by occasionally performing a complete opera. The first performance on the schedule for the Hungarian National Philharmonic’s Opera season ticket is Verdi’s Aida, one of the most popular works for the musical stage works of all time – starring an international cast.
Giuseppe Verdi composed Aida to a libretto by Antonio Ghislanzoni. The four-act opera was first performed at the Cairo Opera House on 24 December 1871, under the baton of the double-bass virtuoso Giovanni Bottesini. As it was primarily heads of state and other politicians who attended this event, Verdi, who did not even go to Egypt, regarded the Milan performance in February 1872 as the work’s true world premiere. Roberta Mantegna, the Italian soprano portraying the title character in this production by the Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra, won the Concorso Internazionale Toti dal Monte in Treviso in 2015 and the Concours International de Belcanto Vincenzo Bellini in Marseille the following year. Singing Radamès will be the Korean tenor Alfred Kim, who won an international competition in Vienna in 1997, followed by another one in Munich the next year. brazil mezzo-soprano Victória Pitts and Romanian baritone Alexandru Agache, taking the stage as Amneris and Amonasro, respectively, also add to the guarantee that this performance will be an international one. The Hungarian singers joining them – such as András Palerdi (Ramfis), István Kovács (King), Jenő Dékán (Messenger) and Gabriella Busa (High Priestess) – will contribute to the high standard of the evening as well. Anyone who has watched Italian conductor Riccardo Frizza, who has grown increasingly popular in Hungary in recent years, at work on the podium knows that this performance is in good hands.
“I've captured a terrific storm of elements and of hearts which gradually calms to Brünnhilde's magic sleep,” Wagner on the score of Die Walküre, in a letter to Ferenc Liszt. Following on the heels of the introductory Das Rheingold, this opera about the tragic love between two of Wotan's children constitutes the start of the more tightly drawn dramatic trilogy. Once again, the laws of the gods clash: can paternal love save a lad who has violated the sanctity of marriage?
This ballet's plot is inspired by The Corsair, a famous verse written in 1814 by Lord Byron, who towered over an entire generation of English Romantic poets.
