Al-Cina's Archive (world premiere) [N]ATURE [O]PERA [I]NTELLIGENCE [C]HAOS [R]EMEMBERING

In the n[o]ice! project, students have developed cutting-edge music theater: they question the value of art in the face of wage and care work and the impending extinction of humanity as a result of climate change and the waste of resources. The text was created in collaboration with the librettist Tina Hartmann, singers from the vocal department and composers from the Incontri Institute, who have transformed their view of the world into sound.

"Cosi fan tutte: la scuola degli Amanti" is an ensemble project on Mozart's “Cosi fan tutte” with students of the singing program at the HMTMH.

The performance was created as part of the new concert series “Klangpunkte” for the Tonkunst Hannover e. V. association. Now the production has been invited to the “Voice” festival at Gut Holzhausen, where it will be shown again on July 4th!

"The School for Lovers" is the subtitle of Mozart and da Ponte's opera about the disillusionment of love. In this sense, young singers try out the game of partner swapping in a semi-staged studio concert, which turns from a love experiment to a test of life. They are accompanied on the piano by Matteo Guerra. The song is sung in Italian.

The musical director is Matteo Guerra, the scenic director is the director Mascha Pörzgen. The costume design is by Elsa Zulauf (HS Hannover). Musical supervision: Paul Weigold

Friday, July 4, 2024 at 7:30 p.m. Duration: approx. 90 minutes, one intermission.
