Our soprano Kathrin Lorenzen sings Brahms Requiem with OD Oct 15-20.
14 oktober 2024
Orphei Drängar kommer under en turné 15–20 oktober framträda i fem kyrkor och katedraler i Sverige och Norge. Turnén inleds i Missionskyrkan i Uppsala, därefter ges konserter i Göteborgs domkyrka, Svenska Margaretakyrkan i Oslo, Karlstads domkyrka samt Storkyrkan i Stockholm. Huvudnumret är Johannes Brahms Requiem, ett av musikhistoriens främsta verk för kör och orkester. Brahms gjorde själv en sammanställning av texter ur Bibeln, och i den vackra och uttrycksfulla musiken är uppståndelsen och ljuset mer närvarande än domens dag och döden. OD framför verket i en bearbetning för manskör av Joakim Unander, beställd och uruppförd av Lunds Studentsångare 2021, och i versionen för fyrhändigt piano. Vid flygeln återfinns OD:s vicedirigent och ackompanjatör Folke Alin tillsammans med Oskar Ekberg, verksam som solist, kammarmusiker och orkesterpianist, samt professor i piano vid Marie Cederschiöld högskola. Solister i Brahms Requiem är Kathrin Lorenzen, vinnare av Solistpriset i Berwaldhallen 2024 samt konsertsångerska och medlem i Radiokören, och Lars Johansson Brissman, även han medlem av Radiokören samt konsert- och operasångare. OD och medverkande solister inleder konserten med a cappellamusik av Elfrida Andrée, Eriks Esenvalds, Anders Hillborg, Ingvar Lidholm och Francis Poulenc.

Violence, jealousy and envy destroy all that is good, in Verdi’s opera based Shakespeare’s tragedy – Otello has been hated all his life. No one, least of all he himself, expected him to reach the highest position of power – but that’s exactly where he is now. Due to his past, he responds to setbacks and opposition with rage. He is his own worst enemy, making him easy prey for the embittered Iago who wants to topple him. Otello and his wife Desdemona are dependent on each other: he needs her validation and she, having lived her entire life in the shadow of violence, is attracted by his dangerousness and feels compelled to save him. When Iago tricks Otello into believing that the innocent Desdemona is being unfaithful, Otello becomes consumed by jealousy and obsessive paranoia. Behind the production are multiple award-winning director Rafael R. Villalobos and set designer Emanuele Sinisi. Their Otello is set in an isolated place where both the surroundings and the people are slowly breaking down. Verdi’s opera, staged in Gothenburg for the first time in 55 years, is based on Shakespeare’s tragedy. Verdi holds us captive from the very first bar – not releasing us until Desdemona and Otello take their last breath in Act 4. The unrelenting music is conducted by Italian conductor Vincenzo Milletarì. Part of The Göteborg Opera’s 30th anniversary celebrations.

Our Erik Rosenius as Figaro in Le nozze di Figaro at The Royal Opera in Stockholm. Premiere Jan 25 2025.
09 oktober 2024
It is Figaro’s and Susanna’s wedding day. But not only the bride and groom are looking forward to it. The Count is more interested in Susanna than in the Countess. She, in turn, mourns her husband’s lack of affection at the same time as she is flattered by Cherubino, who is obsessed with her – and, it seems, every other woman. Le nozze di Figaro is a whirlwind of love, desire and complications, and a portrayal of the demise of the old system. Mozart’s iconic comedy is one of the world’s best loved operas. We now present it in a completely new production, made by the same creative team that created Il barbiere di Siviglia in spring 2024. The characters are older, less naïve, more world weary and decadent, but very human.
