How time flies – the second season in the Schiller theater has come to an end and what a successful season it was too. Janácek’s Aus einem Totenhaus, Smetana’s Die verkaufte Braut, offenbach’s Orpheus, Händel’s Il trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno and Nono’s Al gran sole carico d’amore! also, at the Werkstatt studio with many modern pieces, there are still more premieres to come: Manfred Stahnke’s Wahnsinn das ist die Seele der Handlung, works by Hindemith and Shostakovich – names like these go to prove how broad the range of our musical programme is, brought to you by the admirable Staatskapelle orchestra and the splendid Staatsopernchor (opera choir).

and you, dear audience, flocked to our performances in droves. However there is still more waiting to enthral you. alban Berg’s Lulu with daniel Barenboim and andrea Breth will have its premiere soon, as will Emilio de’ Cavalieri’s Rappresentatione di Anima et di Corpo, conducted by rené Jacobs and staged by achim Freyer. and on the occasion of Wolfgang rihm’s 60th birthday we will perform his Dionysos at the end of the season during the iNFEKtioN! Festival.

So what’s in store for the new season? Find out by reading this booklet, in which we whet your appetite with news of our great projects for the Wagner year – Siegfried, Götterdämmerung, Der fliegende Holländer – and during our Easter FESttaGE festival, the Ring cycle together with full cast and instrumentation, as well as daniel Barenboim, the outstanding Wagner conductor of our time, on the rostrum.

Mozart’s La finta giardiniera will be staged by Hans Neuenfels, with the support of Christopher Moulds, a very successful young conductor, and after this will be Le vin herbé, staged by Katie Mitchell and conducted by Franck ollu. Swiss composer Frank Martin wrote this work in 1938 as a version on the Tristan und Isolde theme. our iNFEKtioN! Festival for Modern Musical theatre features Purcell’s The Fairy Queen adapted by Helmut oehring and staged by Claus Guth, with Michael Boder conducting. Hot on its heels comes Hanjo by toshio Hosokawa.

our diverse repertoire will also include new operas for children and young people and of course we mustn’t forget to mention our Staatsballett with their premiere of Boris Eifman’s Tschaikowsky – Das Mysterium von Leben und Tod and Onegin, Caravaggio and more. or the successful concerts of the Staatskapelle in the Philharmonie, the Konzerthaus building, in the Bode-Museum and in Berlin’s rotes rathaus.

We are delighted to greet our new colleagues at the deutsche oper and the Komische oper, managers dietmar Schwarz and Barrie Kosky. We wish them much success in their work and are looking forward to working side by side with them.

But most of all dear audience and friends we are particularly looking forward to seeing you; to hearing your applause and, it goes without saying, to noting your criticism too!

See you soon in the Schiller theater!

Daniel Barenboim at Mozart’s spinet in the house in Salzburg where Mozart was born, 1952

Jürgen Flimm: dear daniel, you will celebrate

your 70th birthday this year, 2012.

Daniel BarenBoim: in a sense, i have two birth-

days. at that time there was a law in argentina

stipulating that the father had to have his new-

born child registered within three days. But my

father had forgotten about that and went to the

registration office only on the fourth day, that

is on 19th November. the public servant said: »i

am sorry, but i cannot enter the 15th as the

date of birth, as today is the 19th. this is against

the law.« – »Well, what can we do about that,

the boy is already here«, my father said. – »i

will enter the 16th November.« therefore all my

papers give the 16th November as my date

of birth, but actually i was born on the 15th.

Jürgen Flimm: do you celebrate twice?

Daniel BarenBoim: Sometimes i do. in any case

i accept presents twice. (laughs)

Jürgen Flimm: imagine you wake up on your

birthday and are asked to play a birthday

song to yourself and the keyboard lid is open.

What would you play?

Daniel BarenBoim: Well, probably one of

Mozart’s works. you know, i asked the american

composer Elliott Carter in New york a similar

question on his 100th birthday. after the concert

a small reception was held at Carnegie Hall, and

i asked him: »Elliott, how did you spend your

birthday?« after all, i was very much interested

to know what a 100 year old person does. »i

stayed in bed a bit longer«, he said. i went on

joking: »Well, you have grown a bit old by now,

haven’t you?« and he answered: »No, not at all.

i never get up before knowing exactly what i

want to write. and i had such a wealth of ideas

in my head this morning. this is why i stayed in

bed longer. i got up at 11 o’clock, had coffee and

sat down to start composing.« this is the best

birthday story i can tell you.

Jürgen Flimm: really a great story. and when

i ask you for your first piano experience ever,

what do you remember?

Daniel BarenBoim: We lived in Buenos aires in

a rather small apartment, and both my parents

gave piano lessons. there was a bedroom and

the piano room where i stayed during the day.

Every time our doorbell rang, somebody

came for a piano lesson. i thought that everyone

played the piano. after all, i had never met a

person not playing the piano. For me it was the

most natural thing to do. i remember well that i

wanted to do as the other children did. But initi-

ally my father would not allow me. »When you

are a bit older and still want to learn playing the

piano. But it is not a toy.« When i was five and

a half years old i started to take piano lessons.

My first teacher was my mother. My mother had

a special talent for teaching children. later she

had a fantastic class in israel. afterwards my

father taught me, which was wonderful, as he

was an excellent pedagogue. My father thought

that you need to sit in a natural posture when

Daniel Barenboim turns 70. For more than six decades he has been at home on concert stages and in opera houses all over the world, as a pianist as well as a conductor. artistic director Jürgen Flimm talks with »his« general musical director on his childhood and youth, on experience having moulded his character, on music and of course also on the upcoming anniversary.

playing the piano, as you sit at a table. Not ma-

king big gestures and fuss, but sitting straight

at the edge of the chair seat. these are very nor-

mal and simple ideas which are, however, not

remembered all that often. i have been grateful

for this early education my whole life. therefore

the way in which i play the piano and think of

music, did not really change.

Jürgen Flimm: let us talk about argentina a bit

more.

Daniel BarenBoim: My parents were born in ar-

gentina, and so was i. My paternal grandfather

had come from russia with his family, after the

pogroms at the beginning of the 20th century,

in about 1903 or 1904.

Jürgen Flimm: the name Barenboim is not

really russian, is it?

Daniel BarenBoim: No, it’s yiddish and means

»Birnbaum« in German, which would be pear

tree in English. My maternal grandparents were

still children when they came to argentina.

their families had brought them onto the ship.

this happened also at the beginning of the

century, i think in 1903. He was 16, and she was

14 years old. their families were wiped out in

the pogroms in russia. thankfully they had sent

their children away in time. this was possible

as both families had relations in argentina.

When they arrived in Buenos aires, the autho-

rities would not allow them to disembark. the

admission of Jewish immigrants was restricted.

only families were allowed into the country,

and the argentine authorities intended to send

the children back to Europe. My grandfather,

16 years old, addressed the captain of the ship

and appealed to him: »Please help us, we do not

want to go back. it is horrible back there for us

Jews.« the captain said: »i cannot do that, i do

not have a mandate. the only thing i can do is

marry you on board the ship.« My grandfather

went to get the girl, the captain married them,

and, as a family, they were allowed to disem-

bark. they were met by their relatives and went

their separate ways. they had no contact for

two years, then they met again by chance, fell

in love – yet they were already married. this is

my grandparents’ story. a story full of love.

Jürgen Flimm: and how did your family get to

israel in the end?

Daniel BarenBoim: My father thought that, as

israel had been founded as a state for Jews, a

Jewish family should go and live there. it was

particularly important to him that i grew up as

part of a majority, not as a member of a minori-

ty, so that i could lead a normal life. on our way

to israel, in 1952, we stopped over in Salzburg.

igor Markevitch, the great russian conductor,

had heard me play in argentina and had invited

me. at the time he was the instructor for a

conducting course at the Mozarteum univer-

sity in Salzburg and thought i could perform

in the final concert of the Salzburg Festival. at

Christmas 1952, when i was ten years old, we fi-

nally came to israel. there i went to school and

passed my school-leaving examination. i was a

very happy child, and the atmosphere in israel

was very positive.

Jürgen Flimm: i have experienced this spirit

myself. at the end of the 1960s i spent three

months in a kibbutz and very much admired

this way of living in a community.

Daniel BarenBoim: People often feel that they

do not work for themselves any more, but

for the state. But as the state had been newly

founded, people worked for the state and thus

for themselves – and vice versa. therefore the

mood in the country was so optimistic.

Jürgen Flimm: let us return to music. your

thinking in cycles – all works by Beethoven, all

works by Wagner, all works by Mozart – does it

6 talK Daniel Barenboim & Jürgen Flimm

also go back to these early childhood and youth

years?

Daniel BarenBoim: in the beginning there was

a very simple reason for that, not an artistic or

intellectual one. i was 17 years old and sud-

denly had an empty schedule. i was no longer

a »prodigy«, but not grown up yet. and i was

used to performing in concerts since the age of

seven. then i met an acquaintance in a street

in tel aviv who was the director of the tel aviv

journalists’ house. Here in the 1950s and 1960s

all important press conferences were held.

there was a hall seating 400 persons, and my

acquaintance told me that he planned to organi-

se cultural events there. »Wouldn’t you want to

play there some time?« – »yes, of course!« – »and

what would you like to play?« – »all Beethoven

sonatas.« He said: »are you crazy?« My answer

was: »Maybe, but you asked me.« i played my

fist cycle there. at the same time i passed my

school-leaving examination. While learning and

playing the cycle i got an idea of how much

more you understand about a composer when

you know his entire work and study the person

in more detail.

Jürgen Flimm: How is it possible that you

decide what to play while you are on your way

to the piano? i have seen that happen. How does

the music get from your head into your fingers

so fast?

Daniel BarenBoim: do you have in mind

encores?

Jürgen Flimm: yes, but also your performance

on occasion of the opening of the Schiller

theater. i was surprised as you suddenly said: »i

am going to play something else.« i asked you:

»Well, what are you going to play?« you answe-

red: »i don’t know.« My proposal was: »Play some

Chopin!« and you said: »No, not Chopin,« went

to the piano and started playing. Schubert. did

you ever think about how this works?

bly thought about which Chopin work i could

play. Probably i had no good idea in that very se-

cond, and a voice inside my head said: Schubert.

Jürgen Flimm: you have an unlimited wealth of

works memorised, also many operas and concer-

tos. More than one thousand, you told me. How

can you explain that you have them all stored in

your memory?

Daniel BarenBoim: in never stop studying. i do

not need the score of Figaro or tristan for con-

ducting, but i would never go to a rehearsal or

performance without having checked out

the score before. you always discover something

new, for example a connection which you

had not noticed in exactly this way before.

Never theless you have to re-start from scratch,

because the sound you arrived at yesterday is

no longer there. Sometimes i find something

new even during the concert. it may be just a

minute detail. and there is never a repetition of

any event. it vanishes immediately. therefore it

has a different meaning not only for different

persons, but also for one person at different mo-

ments, even on the same day. this phenomenon

provides us with energy.

Jürgen Flimm: you are so incredibly successful.

But have you ever really failed? did you expe-

rience a full flop so that you stated afterwards:

»oh my God, why did that happen to me?«

Daniel BarenBoim: Well, not all that often,

but several times, yes. i remember one such

occasion many years ago, in 1963: leon Fleisher,

a musician whom i admired very much, was

to perform a piano recital. it was at the begin-

ning of his illness when he had to stop playing

because of his nervous affection. one day before

the concert the event organiser called me and

asked me to stand in for him. of course i agreed

and played three Beethoven sonatas in New

york. i was a bit more nervous than normally. i

enter the stage and take a bow. When lifting my

head i see to my right artur rubinstein and his

wife, to my left vladimir Horowitz and in front

of me Claudio arrau, the three greatest pianists

of all times. i was virtually paralysed and my

performance was very poor. on each keystroke i

thought about their reactions: they did not like

this note, this one was perhaps just acceptable,

another one not at all. it was a horrible experi-

ence!

Jürgen Flimm: did they not praise you after-

wards, the three great ones, the three Magi?

Daniel BarenBoim: Horowitz did not even come

backstage, his message was clear. rubinstein

was lovely. He hugged me and said: »Well, this

was not one of your best days, was it?« But it

was arrau who helped me most. He came up to

me and said: »i understood much of what you

had in mind, but did not succeed in conveying.

if you are interested, come to my home, i am

sure i can help you a lot«. He spent three hours

with me and explained for every single note

how i should have played it differently in his

opinion.

Jürgen Flimm: it seems it turned out to be a

successful evening after all. that was a really

nice story. yet i have a question on a comple-

tely different subject. there are colleagues of

yours who at some time or other take a sheet

of paper, draw five lines on it and start compo-

sing. do you have your own secret shelf full of

musical scores?

Daniel BarenBoim: 143 symphonies and sympho-

nic poems! (laughs) No, when i studied harmo-

nics and counterpoint with Nadia Boulanger, i

wanted to start composing of course. therefore i

went to Paris for one year and a half during my

life in israel. But i soon found out that i was not

talented for this kind of work. i decided to tell

the world before the world started telling me.

Daniel Barenboim in Igor Markevitch’s conducting class in Salzburg in 1954

bly thought about which Chopin work i could

play. Probably i had no good idea in that very se-

cond, and a voice inside my head said: Schubert.

Jürgen Flimm: you have an unlimited wealth of

works memorised, also many operas and concer-

tos. More than one thousand, you told me. How

can you explain that you have them all stored in

your memory?

Daniel BarenBoim: in never stop studying. i do

not need the score of Figaro or tristan for con-

ducting, but i would never go to a rehearsal or

performance without having checked out

the score before. you always discover something

new, for example a connection which you

had not noticed in exactly this way before.

Never theless you have to re-start from scratch,

because the sound you arrived at yesterday is

no longer there. Sometimes i find something

new even during the concert. it may be just a

minute detail. and there is never a repetition of

any event. it vanishes immediately. therefore it

has a different meaning not only for different

persons, but also for one person at different mo-

ments, even on the same day. this phenomenon

provides us with energy.

Jürgen Flimm: you are so incredibly successful.

But have you ever really failed? did you expe-

rience a full flop so that you stated afterwards:

»oh my God, why did that happen to me?«

Daniel BarenBoim: Well, not all that often,

but several times, yes. i remember one such

occasion many years ago, in 1963: leon Fleisher,

a musician whom i admired very much, was

to perform a piano recital. it was at the begin-

ning of his illness when he had to stop playing

because of his nervous affection. one day before

the concert the event organiser called me and

asked me to stand in for him. of course i agreed

and played three Beethoven sonatas in New

york. i was a bit more nervous than normally. i

enter the stage and take a bow. When lifting my

head i see to my right artur rubinstein and his

wife, to my left vladimir Horowitz and in front

of me Claudio arrau, the three greatest pianists

of all times. i was virtually paralysed and my

performance was very poor. on each keystroke i

thought about their reactions: they did not like

this note, this one was perhaps just acceptable,

another one not at all. it was a horrible experi-

ence!

Jürgen Flimm: did they not praise you after-

wards, the three great ones, the three Magi?

Daniel BarenBoim: Horowitz did not even come

backstage, his message was clear. rubinstein

was lovely. He hugged me and said: »Well, this

was not one of your best days, was it?« But it

was arrau who helped me most. He came up to

me and said: »i understood much of what you

had in mind, but did not succeed in conveying.

if you are interested, come to my home, i am

sure i can help you a lot«. He spent three hours

with me and explained for every single note

how i should have played it differently in his

opinion.

Jürgen Flimm: it seems it turned out to be a

successful evening after all. that was a really

nice story. yet i have a question on a comple-

tely different subject. there are colleagues of

yours who at some time or other take a sheet

of paper, draw five lines on it and start compo-

sing. do you have your own secret shelf full of

musical scores?

Daniel BarenBoim: 143 symphonies and sympho-

nic poems! (laughs) No, when i studied harmo-

nics and counterpoint with Nadia Boulanger, i

wanted to start composing of course. therefore i

went to Paris for one year and a half during my

life in israel. But i soon found out that i was not

talented for this kind of work. i decided to tell

the world before the world started telling me.

My father had studied philosophy, and

basically he was more of a philosopher than a

musician. He was a wonderful teacher, and he

contemplated music like a philosopher. this is

what i learnt from him. i admire very different

kinds of music. With the exception of thought-

less and unreflecting music. i simply don’t get it.

Finally i want to tell you another story: the

great Spanish guitarist andrés Segovia celeb-

rated his 80th or 85th anniversary in london,

and BBC conducted a televised live interview

with him. Suddenly the interviewer asked him:

»Maestro, do you ever think about death?« Not

a nice question to ask an old person, i would

think. Segovia quickly replied: »you need to

know that i speak with God every day: i played

hundreds, no thousands of bad concerts. i

played thousands of wrong notes on my guitar.

i had lapses of memory, just horrible. i do not

deserve to come to you. Just leave me here!«

Jürgen Flimm: a good ending for a birthday

interview.

We all hope that you will celebrate your bir-

thday well and that God will leave you with us

for a long time to come. i wish you all the best

with all my heart!

i n october 2010, as our second premiere in the

Schiller theater, Rheingold started off the new Ring

cycle. then for the 2011 FESttaGE festival Die Wal-

küre followed and during the coming season, the two

remaining operas will complete the tetralogy cycle.

this is the third time that daniel Barenboim will be

tackling Wagner’s epoch-making work: His first was

between 1988 and 1992 when a highly acclaimed

Ring staged by Harry Kupfer was performed during

the Bayreuther Festspiele festival, and the second

was between 1993 and 1996 when its new staging in

Staatsoper unter den linden continued the productive

co-operation with Harry Kupfer. Now it’s the Flemish

stage director Guy Cassiers who, together with daniel

Barenboim, is taking up the special challenge which

any work on the Ring demands. this production will

be staged in two of the major opera houses in Europe

– Berliner Staatsoper and teatro alla Scala di Milano.

Moreover, it is a ring for the 21st century.

Guy Cassiers’ staging stands out due to its new

and aesthetic essence, a quality not experienced until

now. in co-operation with an international team of

artists from a wide range of disciplines, who have

their creative base in the antwerp toneelhuis, he has

developed an extraordinary stage concept. video pro-

jections are one of its main features, as is the use of

special fabrics and materials as well as the inclusion

of dancers. all these elements combine to produce

a magical theatre experience which, together with

Wagner’s overwhelming music, does not fail to make

an impact.

Guy Cassiers and his co-workers – stage and

lighting designer Enrico Baggnoli, video artists arjen

Klerkx and Kurt d’Haeseleer and costume and fashion

designer tim van Steenbergen, all see Wagner’s ring

as a drama which has much in common with the

present day. in the same way that Wagner expressed

the deep-rooted feeling of dilemma present in his

time during the middle of the 19th century; Cassiers’

interpretation intends to reveal the crisis-laden con-

ditions of our times. Wagner depicted the inexorable

decomposition of an agrarian economic and social

system under advancing industrialisation, and in his

staging, Cassiers reflects the sheer volume of images

and information in our globalised world which tends

to overburden the individual. More and more, the

real world is being replaced by virtual worlds, each

person and each object become the projection screen

for dreams, desires and deep cravings. thus the pro-

jections, which are both large-scale and fragmented,

are the representation of external phenomena as well

as the inner experience of the characters.

the vast array of excellent Wagner singers means

that we can expect masterly vocal achievements and

vivid characterisations. and with daniel Barenboim,

one of the leading Wagner conductors of our time, on

the podium of »his« orchestra, Staatskapelle Berlin,

there’s guaranteed to be impressive musical theatre

full of expression, tonal beauty and passion.

a new Ring always attracts attention; all the more so with the year

2013 in mind since this not only marks the 200th anniversary

of richard Wagner’s birth, but also it’s when daniel Barenboim will

take to the rostrum to conduct the opera cycle.

after Das Rheingold and Die Walküre and now with the premieres of

Siegfried and Götterdämmerung, the ring has come full circle.

artists from a wide range of disciplines, who have

their creative base in the antwerp toneelhuis, he has

developed an extraordinary stage concept. video pro-

jections are one of its main features, as is the use of

special fabrics and materials as well as the inclusion

of dancers. all these elements combine to produce

a magical theatre experience which, together with

Wagner’s overwhelming music, does not fail to make

an impact.

Guy Cassiers and his co-workers – stage and

lighting designer Enrico Baggnoli, video artists arjen

Klerkx and Kurt d’Haeseleer and costume and fashion

designer tim van Steenbergen, all see Wagner’s ring

as a drama which has much in common with the

present day. in the same way that Wagner expressed

the deep-rooted feeling of dilemma present in his

time during the middle of the 19th century; Cassiers’

interpretation intends to reveal the crisis-laden con-

ditions of our times. Wagner depicted the inexorable

decomposition of an agrarian economic and social

system under advancing industrialisation, and in his

staging, Cassiers reflects the sheer volume of images

and information in our globalised world which tends

to overburden the individual. More and more, the

real world is being replaced by virtual worlds, each

person and each object become the projection screen

for dreams, desires and deep cravings. thus the pro-

jections, which are both large-scale and fragmented,

are the representation of external phenomena as well

as the inner experience of the characters.

the vast array of excellent Wagner singers means

that we can expect masterly vocal achievements and

vivid characterisations. and with daniel Barenboim,

one of the leading Wagner conductors of our time, on

the podium of »his« orchestra, Staatskapelle Berlin,

there’s guaranteed to be impressive musical theatre

full of expression, tonal beauty and passion.

a new Ring always attracts attention; all the more so with the year

2013 in mind since this not only marks the 200th anniversary

of richard Wagner’s birth, but also it’s when daniel Barenboim will

take to the rostrum to conduct the opera cycle.

after Das Rheingold and Die Walküre and now with the premieres of

Siegfried and Götterdämmerung, the ring has come full circle.
