Opera gala

None other than Friedrich Hölderlin is the inspiration for the 2023 Opera Gala when, in his poem "Patmos", he confronts an apocalyptic mood with the hope of redemption in which "the saving" grows. Willem Wentzel, Musical Director of the Master of Opera and Vice Dean of the Theatre Academy, has developed the program for the Master of Opera students. In the opera class at the HfMT, young opera singers perfect their skills, hone their vocal brilliance and test their dramatic charisma in elaborate productions such as the annual "Grand Summer Opera". Shortly before Christmas, an opera gala has been on the program for the students since 2018, which is also a festive highlight for the audience. Usually presented with a large orchestra, this time the gala is accompanied by grand piano and harpsichord, and students from the instrumental classes contribute characteristically delicate colors. Baroque works by Bach and Handel will be juxtaposed with classical works by Mozart and romantic pieces by Gounod and Massenet, Smetana and Wagner. This year's opera gala is also a particularly warm invitation to fans of beautiful voices: For the first time, it is taking place with free admission, so in this sense it is indeed an "opera for all".
