Can a martyr's death become the subject of an opera plot? In the 1830s, the Italian censorship answered the question with a resounding “no”, so that Gaetano Donizetti quickly published his planned opera Poliuto in France and with the help of the librettist Eugène Scribe as a grand opéra: as Les MartyrsThe work celebrated its premiere in Paris in 1840, where it featured a ballet interlude, a new structure of the score that anticipated the form of music drama, and a spectacularly reworked tenor role. At the time of the persecution of Christians in Armenia in late antiquity, a young woman is not only between two religions, but also between her husband and her former lover. Private and ideological upheavals collide in an opera that dares the risky contrast between Italian bel canto and French romanticism. In his production, director Cezary Tomaszewski focuses on the tragic story of the country in which the action is set: Armenia.

English

Darf ein Märtyrertod zum Gegenstand einer Opernhandlung werden? Die italienische Zensur beschied die Frage in den 1830er-Jahren mit einem klaren „Nein“, sodass Gaetano Donizetti seine geplante Oper Poliuto kurzerhand in Frankreich und mithilfe des Librettisten Eugène Scribe als Grand Opéra herausbrachte: Als Les Martyrs feierte das Werk 1840 in Paris seine Premiere und wartete dort u. a. mit einer Balletteinlage, einer auf die Form des Musikdramas vorausweisenden Neustruktur der Partitur und einer spektakulär umgearbeiteten Tenorpartie auf. Zur Zeit der spätantiken Christenverfolgung in Armenien steht eine junge Frau nicht nur zwischen zwei Religionen, sondern auch zwischen Ehemann und früherem Geliebten. Private wie weltanschauliche Umbrüche prallen aufeinander in einer Oper, die den riskanten Kontrast zwischen italienischem Belcanto und französischer Romantik wagt. Regisseur Cezary Tomaszewski fokussiert sich in seiner Inszenierung auf die tragische Geschichte des Landes, in dem die Handlung angesiedelt ist: Armenien.
