Verdi’s Macbeth to open Beijing festivalPublished: 09 Oct 2009 06:02:01 PSTSingers performing Macbeth.By Mao Renjie Giuseppe Verdi’s opera classic Macbeth will open the much-anticipated 12th Beijing Music Festival (BMF) this evening. One of the largest-scale annual cultural events in the capital, the festival features 21 classical music performances and presents a range of lectures and free concerts to promote classical music in the city.BMF began in 1998 and is endorsed by the Ministry of Culture and the Beijing Municipal Government. Held annually in October, when Beijing is enjoying its well-loved autumn season, the festival has become one of the city’s most significant and creative cultural events, presenting operas, symphonic and chamber music concerts, musicals and jazz performances.The festival has introduced many classic performances to a keen audience, including the Chinese premiere of Gustav Mahle’s Symphony of a Thousand in 2002 and Richard Wagner’s complete Der Ring des Nibelungen in 2005.This year’s festival will also thrill music lovers, according to Yu Long, founder and president of BMF Art Foundation. Tonight’s performance of Verdi’s Macbeth is also a Chinese premiere. The opera has appeared in the repertories of opera houses worldwide including Washington National Opera and San Francisco Opera.Based on Shakespeare’s Macbeth, this evening’s performance from the Savonlinna Opera Festival, is a four-act work by Giuseppe Verdi with an Italian libretto by Francesco Maria Piave. It tells the story of how a former heroic soldier Macbeth becomes a tyrant under the influence of his wife and a group of witches.The Savonlinna Opera Festival in Finland is an internationally recognized month-long annual festival. The event attracts around 60,000 people each year, an estimated quarter of whom come from abroad. The festival produced a new interpretation of Verdi’s Macbeth in 1993, with redesigned sets and costumes and a unique operatic approach."We try to present a modern version of the ancient tragedy," explained stage director Ralf Lanbacka. He said that Savonlinna Opera Festival’s version of Macbeth has mainly been adapted from the Paris premiere in 1865, only without the ballet that Verdi specifically designed to cater to the taste of the French audience."One feature, or we can say innovation, of our version is the emphasis of the item crown," Lanbacka added, referring to a huge crown hanging midair on stage, which in his words is "the symbol of political power, the source of all evil in the play.""What we will present at the Beijing Music Festival is a very special combination of global talent," said conductor Jari Hamalainen, who is also the art director of the Savonlinna Opera Festival. Hamalainen explained that the performance will combine costumes, stage design and direction from Savonlinna Opera Festival, a chorus from Shanghai Opera House and music from the China Philharmonic Orchestra."It is an interesting experience to work with these two local groups, which are both professional and experienced," Hamalainen added.In the past BMF has attracted internationally renowned musicians and orchestras, including Christoph Eschenbach, Lorin Maazel and the Berlin Philharmonic. Highlights of this year’s cast include Midori Goto, Pinchas Zukerman and Gary Graffman, presenting their classic music favorites.The focus of chamber music is a noticeable feature on this year’s agenda, with concerts performed by musicians and orchestras from across the globe. One of the most notarized chamber orchestras in the world, the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, will work with Korean-American violin virtuoso Sarah Chang to present two concerts, one of the most talked about inclusions on the program.Led by conduclipo battery 弹簧 peptide synthesis リネージュ rmt 激光打标机
