The Metropolitan Opera: Rigoletto

One of opera’s grimmest tragedies received a powerful new production during the 2021–22 season when director Bartlett Sher unveiled his Weimar-era staging of Verdi’s Rigoletto. In this performance, recorded as part of the company’s Live in HD series of cinema transmissions, commanding American baritone Quinn Kelsey gives a searing portrayal of the title character, a deformed court jester determined to protect the virtue of his daughter, Gilda, sung by radiant soprano Rosa Feola. His debauched employer, the Duke of Mantua, is tenor Piotr Beczała, with dynamic young maestro Daniele Rustioni on the podium to lead a cast that also features bass Andrea Mastroni as the assassin Sparafucile and mezzo-soprano Varduhi Abrahamyan as Maddalena.

Maggie Lindemann - you're not special

A young woman finds herself constantly targeted by someone desperate for her attention and control. Instead of giving in, she chooses to take back her power. Set in a dark, cinematic atmosphere, the music video follows her journey from fear to confidence as she refuses to let the obsession define her. As the story unfolds, the balance shifts: the person who believed they held all the power is left isolated, realizing they were never as important as they imagined. The video ends with her walking away, stronger and free, delivering a powerful message about self-worth, independence, and breaking free from toxic influence.

Věra Martinová – jubilejní narozeninový koncert

She is often called the first lady of Czech country music. However, it would be more accurate to say that Věra Martinová is one of our best pop singers. On top of that, she is undoubtedly an excellent guitarist. She had been planning her birthday concert for 2020, when she celebrated her milestone birthday, but the concert could not take place during the COVID-19 pandemic. It finally took place at the Hybernia Theater in November 2021 and was full of energy and great music in perfect interpretation. She performed her greatest hits, as well as songs from her latest album, Meritum.

L'amour La mort

Every love, no matter how happy, sooner or later ends unhappily; either due to loss, due to death, or due to a broken bond. These are all sides of the same medal.

In this documentary, several people who have been profoundly confronted with love and death in their lives, provide glimpses of the enigma of love, based on their personal stories. On Freud’s famous couch, they are questioned about their experiences. Their stories are interwoven with timeless works from the history of painting and music. When words are not adequate, there is art and music.

LISE

LISE is a cinematic opera encounter – a hybrid between recorded concert and film – with soprano Lise Davidsen, the Norwegian National Opera Orchestra and conductor Edward Gardner. Viewers get to experience Lise Davidsen in the roles of three strong women from Richard Strauss’ operas: the Marschallin (from Der Rosenkavalier), Arabella and Ariadne, all created by the composer who is particularly famed for his writing for the soprano voice. The three women are at different stages of life, but all reflect on who they are, where they are going, and what they have become: ‘This I still must find: the young woman that I was’ says the mature Marschallin, while the young Arabella wonders what or who she is really longing for and Ariadne longs to lose herself in order to find what has been lost. (Barbican, 2022)
