Event Details

Im barocken London tobte über Jahre ein heftiger Konkurrenzkampf zwischen den verschiedenen Opernhäusern der Stadt. Ständig mussten immer neue, aufwändigere und spektakulärere Stücke geschrieben werden, um das Publikum für sich zu gewinnen. Dabei rissen sie sich besonders um die Starsängerinnen und -sänger, allen voran die Kastraten wie Farinelli und Senesino, die mit ihrem Gesang für Begeisterungsstürme sorgten. Auch Händel mischte in diesem Streit kräftig mit und schrieb einige seiner besten Opern in dieser Zeit. Aber die Konkurrenz schlief nicht…

Der renommierte kanadische Countertenor Michael Taylor begibt sich auf einen Streifzug durch die aufregende Musik der britischen Metropole dieser Zeit, die sich zu immer neuen Höhepunkten mit brodelnden Emotionen aufschwang.

G.F. Handel: Saul Theater Münster Neubrückenstraße 63

Event Details

After Goliath’s defeat at the hand of David, King Saul’s rule begins to crumble: his children turn against him, and the Israelites celebrate the young hero. David easily wins over the crowds, while the old King is overwhelmed by jealousy. Saul descends into madness and sacrifices his own family and finally himself, while David ascends the throne with heaven’s favour.

George Friderich Handel’s (1685-1759) Saul, based on the Old Testament story, is one of Handel’s most dramatic staged Oratorios and resembles in many ways the operatic form. The expressive music provides a nuanced and gripping portrayal of the characters and the colourful orchestration – with added trombones, harps, glockenspiel and timpani – paints a vivid picture of the biblical drama.
