Many of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's 15 operas are based on fairytale models. The composer was not concerned with celebrating childish innocence, but with the unique combination of archaism, fantasy and down-to-earthness found in these fables, which he explored and thereby revolutionized not only Russian music theatre. The fact that there is always potential for political satire in these subjects is made clear in the opera from the revolutionary year 1905: The Golden Rooster contrasts the authoritarian, frozen world of the old Tsar Dodon with the lively, diverse and seductive world of the foreign Tsarina Schemacha. An astrologer pulls the strings behind the scenes.
But Rimsky-Korsakov's last opera is more than satire in a fairytale guise. Rather, the result is a game about power, intelligence and love that is sometimes tragic, sometimes comical, for which the young director Anna Bernreitner, who was recently awarded the Götz-Friedrich Prize, created her very own (nightmare-like, fantastic world) at the opening of the new directorship developed. A biting commentary on nationalistic male striving for power as a Magdeburg premiere!

English

Unter den 15 Opern Nikolai Rimski-Korsakows beziehen sich viele auf märchenhafte Vorlagen. Dabei ging es dem Komponisten nicht um eine Feier kindlicher Unschuld, sondern um die in diesen Fabeln steckende einzigartige Verbindung von Archaik, Fantastik und Bodenständigkeit, die er auslotete und damit nicht nur das russische Musiktheater revolutionierte. Dass in diesen Stoffen immer auch das Potential für politische Satire steckt, wird in der Oper aus dem Revolutionsjahr 1905 deutlich: Der goldene Hahn stellt die autoritär- erstarrte Welt des alten Zaren Dodon der lebendigen, vielfältigen und verführerischen Welt der fremden Zarin Schemacha gegenüber. Hinter den Kulissen zieht ein Astrologe die Fäden.
Doch Rimski-Korsakows letzte Oper ist mehr als Satire im Märchengewand. Vielmehr entsteht ein bald tragisches, bald komisches Spiel um Macht, Intelligenz und Liebe, für das die junge und jüngst mit dem Götz-Friedrich-Preis ausgezeichnete Regisseurin Anna Bernreitner zur Eröffnung der neuen Intendanz eine ganz eigene, (alp-)traumhafte, fantastische Welt entwickelt. Ein bissiger Kommentar auf nationalistischmännliches Machtstreben als Magdeburger Erstaufführung!
