MISSA IN TEMPORE BELLI Will Stream on Operavision
From 11 February, 19:00 CET until 11 March, the production can be watched for free via Operavision.
With this production of Missa in tempore belli, a dream came true for DNO's brand-new chief conductor Lorenzo Viotti. Taking Haydn's 'Mass in time of war' as its centrepiece, this special performance combines music theatre, dance, electronic composition and video. From 11 February, 19:00 CET until 11 March, the production can be watched for free via Operavision.
In an unusual twist Dutch National Opera presented Joseph Haydn's Missa in tempore belli in a fully staged version. Director Barbora Horáková reveals the flipside of the steadfast faith that runs through every note of Haydn's mass, poignantly portraying individuals who suffer under the heavy burden of a narrowminded, one-sided ideology.
Swiss-Israeli electronic composer Janiv Oron responds to Haydn's music with beats and sound effects, all created live. These extra sound worlds offer a counterbalance to the religious conviction articulated by the Missa. The Missa has a starring role for the wonderful Chorus of Dutch National Opera. This production marked the return to the DNO stage of soprano Janai Brugg, and of mezzo-soprano Polly Leech, an alumna of our own Dutch National Opera Studio. Tenor Mingjie Lei and baritone Johannes Kammler made their DNO debut. The Spanish choreographer Juanjo Arqués, who is closely connected with Dutch National Ballet, created a choreography for nine dancers, thus giving physical expression to the contrasts that are central to the direction.Musical direction: Lorenzo Viotti
