Stabat Mater by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi will be presented at the Grand Théâtre de Genève in a new production, directed by Romeo Castellucci and conducted by Barbara Hannigan. This unique performance, centered around the figure of Mary and her suffering at the crucifixion of Jesus, will take place in the Saint-Pierre Cathedral. The work, originally composed in 1736, will be paired with Giacinto Scelsi’s Quattro Pezzi (su una nota sola) and Three Latin Prayers, bringing a modern, minimalistic twist to the sacred music.
The performance features soprano Barbara Hannigan and countertenor Jakub Józef Orliński, with the ensembles Il Pomo d’Oro and Contrechamps. Castellucci, known for his symbolic and visual approach to theatre, will create a striking, ritualistic atmosphere, blending baroque and contemporary music in a deeply evocative experience. This collaboration, in coproduction with Opera Ballet Vlaanderen, Teatro dell’Opera di Roma, and Dutch National Opera, will offer a profound exploration of the religious and emotional themes in Stabat Mater.
Four performers, each grappling with their own emotional and financial turmoil, delve into the economic principles that shape our lives through the medium of music. Through invigorating songs, they question the nature and perception of public debt.
