Werther at the Baden-Baden Festival 2024
Music Direction Thomas Hengelbrock Producer Robert Carsen Werther Jonathan Tetelman Charlotte Kate Lindsey Sophie Elsa Benoit Albert Nikolai Zemlianskikh | 26.11.2023
Carsen's new production of Werther was an interesting one. We first saw Werther walking in a windowless library surrounded only by bookshelves. As the music progressed, he focused his attention on one particular book (most likely Goethe's Werther). Suddenly, extras emerged and started reading the same type of book Werther was currently reading. There was no interaction; everyone was immersed in their own readings.
Throughout the opera, I found myself pondering the intention of this production. Much of Werther's libretto talks about themes of nature and seasons. Yet, the staging was confined in a closed space.
The director seemed to hint at the symbolism of seasons through the book pages that fell from the balcony, synonymous with the falling leaves of autumn. By the final act, there were no more books on the shelves. They had piled up, forming a mountain where a dying Werther lay on top of it. The autumn had passed, and now it was winter.
Tetelman, as Werther, never shied away from showing off his ringing tenor voice. His "Pourquoi me réveiller?" was executed without any hesitation. His acting, however, could be histrionic. At one point, he was squirming on the floor as he realised that he had lost Charlotte forever. If there was only one criticism to be made, this aspect would be it.
As Werther's object of obsession, Charlotte suffered her own dilemma. Here, Lindsey brought the character to life with her supple lyric mezzo and charismatic stage presence. Her peak moment was in her Letter Aria, where she expressed Charlotte's inner conflict in a palpable manner without being excessive in her acting.
The rest of the principal roles were vocally charming. Zemlianskikh delivered a convincing performance of the stolid Albert. Benoit, as Sophie, infused the cheerful spirit into the melancholic air of the opera.
The roles of the Bailiff, his friends, and Charlotte's young siblings have been altered to fit the director's vision. Instead of depicting familial relationships, they were portrayed merely as the staff and visitors of the library. This radical change consequently made the motive of Werther's storyline less impactful.
Hengelbrock's persuasive conducting was something to write home about. After the intermission, the conductor led the orchestra in La Nuit de Noël. The stage was still being prepared behind the curtain. For four minutes, I set aside my thinking about this overstylised production and absorbed myself in Massenet's finest music.

staatsoper unter den linden afterparty was absolutely wild
after all the speeches and toasting (but free wine!) in the foyer after Calixto Bieito's TERRIBLE staging of Aida (everyone drank all the white wine so there was only red left) the nice Staatsoper press lady brought us into the cantina next door (love a secondary location) and it was the first time I'd seen Germans actually dance to fun music instead of earsplitting techno— the supernumeraries were getting down to 80s pop hits, Jonathan Tetelman rolled up just past midnight wearing sunglasses and hit the dancefloor, and the party was going strong at 1:30 am when we left

Watching last year's Francesca da Rimini from Berlin. The staging makes zero sense and seems to have been invented by someone who has never seen the libretto, but the singing is extraordinary, the chemistry between Francesca and Paolo is spectacular, and Jonathan Tetelman is vocally and physically 🔥.

So the Met is HD’ing La rondine with Angel Blue and Jonathan Tetelman in the upcoming 2023/2024 season(!!!!!), and Opernhaus Zürich is ALSO putting up Rondine for their 23/24 season, with Ermonela Jaho and Benjamin Bernheim!!!!!
This truly is the Year of the Swallow, huh!!
So, uhm... I’m not saying that I firmly believe that this opera is getting pretty popular nowadays because this was somehow psychically influenced by a bunch of 19-year-olds (read: us) electronically screaming about it (read: the 2009 Met production) all over Tumblr, but that’s totally what I’m saying...
(partly inspired by a conversation with @smile-at-the-stars)
#opera#la rondine#metropolitan opera#met opera#opernhaus zürich#opernhaus zurich#super excited!!!#(both have some pretty tough competition against the 2009 met prod but still excited!!)#yes it's only 2 companies but when it comes to an opera as (relatively) obscure as la rondine then it's a lot

I still love a good flashmob. Place it in a bookstore (which continues to be a favourite retail experience) and have a talented operatic tenor perform Nessun dorma from Puccini’s Turandot? Well, that’s basically THE TRIFECTA,

Jonathan Tetelman is a problem.
As in I’m contemplating driving into SF during Thanksgiving break to see him as Alfredo.
That level of problem.
#he’s like the hot younger brother of the hot dad in opera#which is Jonas Kaufmann#in case you haven’t been paying attention

Listened to the first track off the new Jonathan Tetelman album, and I, well, I hate it. I don't know what to do with myself. He was supposed to be my favorite tenor of the next generation, and I hated every note of his "E lucevan le stelle," and my favorite tenor can't fuck up that of all arias. Just can't.
#sobbing#i feel betrayed by his lack of diminuendo#the way he just powers through#not an ounce of delicacy
