Tschaikowskys
letzte Oper - auf ein
Libretto seines Bruders
Modest nach der
Dramenvorlage des
danischen Schriftstellers
Henrik Hertz - lebt von
den poetischen Momenten
und den symbolbeladenen
Charakterportrats der
Hauptfiguren: Die junge
blinde Jolanthe wird von
ihrem Vater aus Sorge um
ihren Makel und zum
Schutz ihrer
Jungfraulichkeit und vor
den Widrigkeiten der Welt
in einen paradiesischen
Garten gesperrt. Er
befielt zu ihrem Schutz
sie um ihre Blindheit
unwissend zu lassen. Ein
Arzt warnt sehen werde
sie nur konnen wenn sie
es selbst wolle gleich
welche Angste aus der
vollstandigen Erkenntnis
der Welt erwachsen. Als
der junge Vaudemont in
ihre Abgeschiedenheit
einbricht und sich beide
ineinander verlieben
befreit er sie von ihrer
Unwissenheit erklart was
Farbe und Licht bedeuten.
Erst die Liebe zu ihm
macht sie sehend.
Die dunkle Welt
der Jolanthe zeichnet
Tschaikowsky zu Beginn
musikalisch durch eine
Introduktion
ausschliesslich fur
Blaser. Erst mit dem
Eintritt in die
unbekannte Welt der Liebe
und des Sehens verwendet
Tschaikowsky einen warmen
Streicherklang. Gerade
dadurch stiess die Oper
wohl bei Zeitgenossen auf
Verstorung. Tschaikowskys
,,Jolanthe nimmt in
seinem Opernschaffen eine
Sonderstellung ein: neben
dem glucklichen Ende
einer Apotheose des
Lichts und der Liebe mit
einem religios gepragten
Schlusschoral ist es
eines der wenigen
Buhnenwerke Tschaikowskys
ohne Bezug zur russischen
Geschichte. Der
ausgepragte Lyrismus des
Werks verweist
stattdessen auf
Tschaikowskys Nahe zur
franzosischen Kultur die
im 19. Jahrhundert einen
starken Einfluss auf
Russland hatte. Die Oper
wurde 1892 am
Mariinsky-Theater in
Sankt Petersburg als
Auftragswerk zusammen mit
seinem Ballett ,,Der
Nussknacker
uraufgefuhrt.
Nebe
n der Produktion des
Munchner
Rundfunkorchesters wurde
,,Jolanthe szenisch
erfolgreich bei den
Festspielen Baden-Baden
mit Anna Netrebko und
Piotr Beczala als
Liebespaar rehabilitiert.
Ausserhalb Deutschlands
lief die Opernraritat in
Toulouse Tokyo San
Sebastian und Monte
Carlo. Zuletzt erneut die
,,Suddeutsche Zeitung:
,,Jolanthe ist eine
Opernausgrabung die
,,wirklich zu Unrecht
vergessen ist.
Tchaikovsky's last opera
- on a libretto by the
composer's brother Modest
based on the drama by the
Danish author Henrik
Hertz - derives its
life-blood from its
poetic moments and the
symbol-laden portraits of
the leading characters:
the blind young Yolanta
is kept prisoner in a
paradisiacal garden by
her father who fears for
her purity and her
virginity and seeks to
protect her from the
adversities of the world.
To do so he orders
everyone to keep her
ignorant of the fact that
she is blind. A doctor
warns that she will only
be able to see when she
is ready to do so herself
no matter what fears
might result from a
complete experience of
the world. When the young
Vaudemont breaks into her
secluded world and the
two fall in love he frees
her from her ignorance
and explains the
significance of color and
light. It is through her
love for him that she is
finally able to see. At
the beginning of the work
Tchaikovsky depicts
Yolanta's dark world with
an introduction scored
exclusively for winds. It
is not until her
discovery of the unknown
world of love and sight
that Tchaikovsky uses a
warm string sound. This
is what many of the
composer's contemporaries
found disturbing about
the
opera.
Tchaikovsky
's Yolanta occupies a
special place in the
composer's operatic
oeuvre: for one it has a
happy ending an
apotheosis of light and
love with a religiously
stamped closing chorale;
for another it is one of
Tchaikovsky's few stage
works without any
reference to Russian
history. Instead the
work's pronounced
lyricism points to the
composer's closeness to
French culture. which
exerted a strong
influence on Russia in
the 19th
century.
The opera
was given its world
premiere at the Mariinsky
Theater in St. Petersburg
in 1892. It had been
commissioned along with
the ballet The
Nutcracker. Next to the
production by the
Munchner
Rundfunkorchester Yolanta
was also successfully
rehabilitated in a recent
staged production at the
Baden-Baden Festival with
Anna Netrebko and Piotr
Beczala as the lovers.
Outside of Germany the
operatic rarity was
performed in Toulouse
Tokyo San Sebastian and
Monte Carlo.
In
closing another quote
from the Suddeutsche
Zeitung: 'Yolanta' is an
operatic rediscovery of a
work that was truly
'wrongly forgotten'.

Kids love
drums! The sight, sound,
power, and feel are
tremendous motivators for
many students. D.R.U.M.
is an acronym for

was formed at author Jim
Solomon's elementary
school in 1995 to provide
an ensemble experience
for students not involved
in any of the regular
music groups. The group
concept is designed to
stress teamwork and
self-discipline while
learning these intensive
percussion ensembles
built on music from the
United States, Brazil,
Africa, and China. Useful
for general music classes
and special groups, this
book is a terrific
learning tool with
unlimited potential!
