Description:
Live from the Göttingen Handel Festival! Handel’s “Admetus”: The World of Greek Mythology with a Japanese Twist! “Admetus” is an opera that Handel premiered in London in 1727. It is essentially based on the story from Greek mythology of Alcestis, famous for her chastity. To save the life of King Admetus, who is on the brink of death, Queen Alcestis descends into the underworld in his place, but is brought back to the surface by the hero Heracles. However, things take a turn for the worse when Admetus’s former fiancée, Antigone, appears, complicating the situation. German filmmaker Doris Dörrie has infused this world of Greek mythology with a “Japanese-style” flair. Admetus is samurai-like, Alceste initially resembles an oiran, and Ercole is an unrivaled sumo wrestler (who even performs the shiko stomp). There’s also a silent character who, no matter how you look at it, resembles Sadako from *The Ring*, and who plays a crucial role. Dierie is a huge fan of Yasujirō Ozu—she loves Japan so much that she even made *HANAMI*, a remake of *Tokyo Story*. Drawing on the butoh performances of German-based dancer Kimiyoshi Endo and the Mam Dance Theater, she created a fantastical production rich in Japanese elements. While the production was fundamentally designed to be fantastical—and, from a Japanese perspective, had plenty of points that might invite criticism—it was highly successful as a stage adaptation of the “Admetus” story, and the beautiful production received rave reviews. The cast featured Tim Mead as Admetus—who had previously received rave reviews for singing the title role in *Rinaldo* in Japan—and Marie Arnett, a Swedish soprano whose popularity is rapidly rising after singing Pamina in *The Magic Flute*, produced by Yutaka Sado in Hyogo. Alcesste, played by Marie Arnett; Ercole, played by William Berger, a British baritone active across a wide repertoire; and Alcesste, played by Kirsten Blaze, an American soprano highly acclaimed for her Baroque music—among many other talented young artists. Furthermore, the production is held together with precision by the uncompromising musical direction of Nicholas McGigan, a Handel specialist who has served as music director of the Göttingen Handel Festival since 1991.
