Abduction from the Seraglio
ca. 120 min. - This merry song-play illustrates how profound human love, ideals
and faith can overcome power and egotism. Sung in the original German version
as performed by the Dresden State Opera. Mozart was barely 26 years of age when
he composed "The Abduction from the Seraglio", during one of the happiest
times of his short life. Very much in love with Konstanze Weber, he married
her just 3 weeks after the opera's premiere. The first name of his fiancee was
also the name of the heroine of the opera. The delight in his life is reflected
in the music, which is some of his finest and most highly expressive. It was
not so much an opera as what the Viennese called a "Singspiel" (a
song-play). The action is furthered through spoken dialogue, while the characters
break into song to express strong emotions. 18th Century Vienna was enamored
about anything Turkish: dress styles, hair-dos, stories, even Turkish music.
The story and music of this opera reflect this Turkish fad. It is a comedy about
Europeans in a Turkish Pasha's harem, complete with the serious hero and heroine,
with the comic relief provided by the hero's manservant and the heroine's maid.
The most memorable character, however, is Osmin, the overseer of the harem,
one of the great comic figures of opera. Osmin is one of Mozart's great creations,
as genuinely and consistently comic in music as in action, but as potentially
dangerous as he is laughable.

Barcelona singt und tanzt
ZDF, ca. 45 min. - The music of Barcelona-that's haunting sea shanties, old
folk tunes from the middle ages to modern times, the famous boys choir of Montserrat
who sings the "Secret Anthem" of Catalonia. A journey through the
streets of Barcelona, her streets, her plazas, her people, as they sing and
dance.
Barcelona, das ist der Tanz der Sardana - von alt und jung jedes Wochenende
auf den Plaetzen der Stadt getanzt. Barcelona, das heisst nicht Spanien, das
heisst Katalonien. Und so klingt auch die Musik Barcelonas anders als das, was
man sich gemeinhin unter spanischer Musik vorstellt: also kein Kastagnettenklang
und auch kein feuriges Ole. Katalonien, das sind die Havaneras, die froehlich-schwermuetigen
Seemannslieder, die frueher von den Seeleuten auf dem Weg von oder nach Kuba,
nach Havanna, gesungen wurden. Das ist die mittelalterliche Musik, die auch
heute noch auf alten Instrumenten gespielt wird, das sind die alten Volksweisen,
die - modernisiert - ueberall erklingen. Und im Kloster Montserrat, vor den
Toren Barcelonas, singt mittags der beruehmte Knabenchor das Virulai: die "heimliche
Hymne" Kataloniens.
