The musicians of the Festival Orchestra play a suite by Bach on period instruments, to be followed immediately by a set of showpiece arias for coloratura soprano from György Ligeti’s avant-garde “anti-opera” performed by the award-winning German soprano Anna-Lena Elbert, still in her late twenties; and finally, after visits to the extremes, comes a kind of synthesis, the bittersweet, far more reserved and conservative Brahms symphony – how could a concert program be more colorful? The skips between centuries produce seemingly irreconcilable opposites that in fact attract each other. Baroque and contemporary music are a particularly good match, while Brahms’ flowing melodies give a rest to the listener who may have been exhausted by this time travel and such modern sounds.
Bach’s last orchestral suite is a perfect opener; the composer called the entire work “Ouverture” with good reason. The first movement invokes the dotted notes and sublime atmosphere of overtures to French operas – with a bit of Italian seasoning. Then, adjusted to the style of the period, come a series of conventional dances; two Bourrées first; the merry and the mysterious dances take turns to form a single movement. A Gavotte follows, expressing, according to a contemporary account, “joy that never loses self-control.” After the almost mandatory Minuets (two of them) the Suite, set for strings, oboes, trumpets, timpani, and continuo, instead of adding another dance movement, culminates in a ceremonial Réjuissance (rejoicing).
The Chief of Gepopo, the secret police of Brueghelland, gives a warning to Prince Go-Go: the intelligence service has discovered that a giant comet is approaching to destroy the planet. Due to the messenger’s fear and paranoid hysteria, the coded message becomes almost incomprehensible. Le Grand Macabre, Ligeti’s only opera, is an absurd caricature, full of sarcastic wit and virtuosic grotesqueness. This is especially true for the Gepopo arias, an independent concert piece since 1991. The wails of the Chief of Gepopo, desperately singing about the end of the world, is an extremely difficult technical task for the soprano; the chamber orchestra, sometimes operating as a choir, accompanies the cries for help with similar virtuosity.
It took six years for Brahms to approach the symphony genre again after finishing his 2nd. A single summer in the Rhine region was enough to get the rather complex score ready and the work was premiered on a Viennese podium at the end of 1883. His Third Symphony is often likened to Beethoven’s Eroica, although Brahms’ hero is totally different. The frequent transitions to a minor key from the basic F major key and the conflicts of the first movement suggest that here the protagonist is mainly fighting with himself. The ominous endings of the individual movements, the gloomy, slow response given to the slow movement (instead of a dance movement), and the gradually hushed ending of the Finale instead of a fanfare turn the usual heroic march into a psychological drama.

Misztikum, szenvedély és sötét titkok a színpadon – érkezik a Rebecca musical!
A vakáció nem indul mindenki számára felhőtlenül: Péterke, a Vadliba őrs egyetlen lány tagja betegágyba kényszerül. Barátai azonban nem hagyják, hogy unatkozzon – szó szerint cirkuszt alapítanak, hogy feldobják a nyarát. Állatkerti hajsza, magnóval rögzített oroszlánüvöltés, Lópici Gáspár, a plakátragasztó – és persze Bagaméri, a fagylaltos, aki a fagylaltját maga méri.
Tegyük fel, hogy megcsalt a férjem – mit teszek én? Sírok, válok, vagy bosszút állok? Lucienne Vatelin tisztességes feleség, esze ágába nem jut megcsalni a férjét – és az elvét tartja mindaddig, amíg a férje őt meg nem csalja. Viszont, ha ez megtörténne, arra is felkészül: talonban tartja a jóképű Babillont, hogy ha kell, legyen kivel bosszút állni… A hülyéje őrült és szerelmes bohózat – tökéletes nevettető kikapcsolódás szerelmeseknek, friss házasoknak, és hűtlenséget tervezőknek. Megszállott nőcsábászok és bosszúálló feleségek a Thália Színház Nagyszínpadán.
