Liebesverbot
Inhalt:
In 1997, the Teatro Real--whose construction was commissioned in 1850 by Queen Isabella was returned to its 19th-century luster and reputation for musical excellence, with Madrid's symphonic orchestra and choir there in permanent residence. Under the baton of Ivor Bolton, they present Das Liebesverbot, Wagner's early two-act opera in a staging by Kasper Holten." ... music oft hath such a charm to make bad good, and good provoke to harm" warns Duke Vincentio in Shakespeare's Measure for Measure. The 21-year-old Wagner ignored these cautionary words setting the celebrated play to a score that mixes the styles of Donizetti and German Singspiel with that of his own developing artistic voice. Laced with echoes of later works like Tannhäuser, Das Liebesverbot is a testament to the young genius' early musical efforts and hard work that would soon bear fruit beyond his wildest dreams. the story involves Mariana, who has left her career-minded husband Viceroy Friedrich, and lives in a convent with Isabella. When Friedrich arrests Isabella's brother Claudio for immorality, his friend Luzio goes to her and implores her to ask the Viceroy for mercy. The Viceroy agrees, but only if Isabella will sleep with him. She agrees, but hatches a plan to send Mariana in her place
