OPERA ON THE LAKE 2016
TURANDOTGIACOMO PUCCINI
There are Chinese elements in the music,
too. Puccini was inspired by tunes from
music boxes that a diplomat friend brought
back from China. But however Chinese
Puccini‘s last opera might appear, the
plot is adapted from a Persian tale and
the score is full-blown Italian opera. The
powerful Turandot is contrasted with the
self- sacrificing Liù, who loves Prince Calaf
and knows his name but movingly takes the
secret to her grave. The populace mourns
her death as passionately as previously it
relished the spectacle of Turandot‘s suitors
being beheaded. Fire artists, dancers and
soldiers accompany Turandot‘s entrance
in Act Two. Before she sets the Prince her
riddles, she reveals why she is so hard-
hearted: long ago a female ancestor of hers
was abused and murdered by a man. Finally,
however, Calaf‘s love is able to break the
mask of Turandot‘s ancestress. As Puccini
wanted, the two of them ‘descend through
love to the level of mankind, and this love
must at the end take possession of the
whole stage‘.
No man shall ever possess her – the
Chinese princess Turandot sets three
riddles for every man that comes to
woo her. So far none have been able to solve the
riddles, and have paid with their heads. Then
an unknown prince achieves the impossible:
he correctly answers all three questions. But
Turandot is still unwilling to surrender to him.
So the Prince is ready to lay down his life if she
can find out his name by morning. Throughout
the night, no one may sleep: everyone must try
to discover his name...
It is this aria sung by Calaf, ‘Nessun dorma‘,
that made Giacomo Puccini‘s opera Turandot
world famous. On the Bregenz stage it‘s
delivered against the imposing backdrop of a
dragon-shaped wall on Lake Constance. Marco
Arturo Marelli‘s stage set makes use of Chinese
symbols of power. The stage wall is inspired
by the world‘s longest man-made structure,
the Great Wall of China. The Bregenz wall is
criss-crossed by detachments of terracotta
warriors, over two hundred in all, some of them
sky-high, others half-submerged in the water.
„I‘m moved by the strange tension between the biographical reality of Puccini‘s life and what‘s at the heart of this work, the mystery of this woman and this love.“

obscure the view. Performances on the lake

HA MLETFRANCO FACCIO
After that the opera was not staged again –
until 2014 when it was revived in Albuquerque
(USA) by conductor Anthony Barrese, who
has also prepared a critical edition of the
score. Curiously, the impressive funeral
march for Ofelia‘s death has survived in the
annual Easter ritual on the Greek island of
Corfu.
The Bregenz Festival is now bringing Faccio‘s
Amleto back to Europe. The Turandot
conductor Paolo Carignani is as enthusiastic
about the opera as Olivier Tambosi, the
internationally acclaimed stage director.
Joined by the respected stage designer
Frank Philipp Schlößmann and the success-
ful costume designer Gesine Völlm, the team
will enter the world of ghostly apparitions in
the night, plays with treacherous intent, and
a love that ends tragically.
It‘s an impetuous, impassioned Hamlet that
treads the boards in composer Franco
Faccio and librettist Arrigo Boito‘s opera
Amleto, which was first staged in 1865 in Genua
and performed again at La Scala Milan in 1871.
The opera begins in the middle of the coronation
ceremony for the new king, Claudio. Hamlet
struggles to conceal his dark suspicions that
Claudio had his father killed in order to seize
his crown and his wife. Claudio‘s drinking song
rings out like a cynical requiem for the dead.
Faccio and Boito skilfully and effectively
challenge the conventions of Italian opera,
which they wanted to revitalise by infusing
it with the spirit of Shakespeare‘s drama.
A fascinating libretto of great sensitivity
and poetic power was delivered by Boito,
who went on to write the libretti for Giuseppe
Verdi‘s Otello and Falstaff. The composer,
Faccio, was also director of La Scala Milan
and conducted the first performance in Italy
of Verdi‘s Aida and the world premiere of
Otello. However, his own opera Amleto was
not a success at La Scala, notably because the
tenor singing the lead role was so ill that the
publisher Giulio Ricordi later described the
performance as „Hamlet without Hamlet“.

ORCHESTRALCONCERTS
Inspired by Puccini‘s Turandot and
Faccio‘s Amleto, the orchestra con-
certs will feature more Italian music,
including the seldom performed Requiem
by Gaetano Donizetti to be conducted
by Enrico Mazzola. The concert by the
Vorarlberg Symphony Orchestra will also
have an Italian focus. The Vienna Symph-
ony Orchestra under its chief conductor
Philippe Jordan will commemorate its
first concert at the Bregenz Festival
70 years ago. The Finnish conductor
Susanna Mälkki will present the Violin
Concerto ’Da drunten im Tale‘ (’Down
there in the valley‘) by the Austrian com-
poser Otto M. Zykan; the violinist will be
Patricia Kopatchinskaja.

ACTIVITY & INSPIRATION
Where the federal state of Vorarlberg meets Lake Constance is widely regarded as THE cultural centre of the international Lake Constance region. In and around the towns of Bregenz, Dornbirn, Hohenems and Feldkirch, classical and modern music can be heard on stages big and small, all year round. Museums with stimulating exhi-bitions. Captivating landscapes. Walking routes and cycle paths go round the shore of the lake and lead up into the nearby moun-tains. From Bregenz harbour, freight and passenger ships of the Lake Constance fleet head for destinations all round the lake.
BREGENZ
The town on Lake Constance is lively and
culture-conscious. Works by contemporary
artists are displayed at Kunsthaus Bregenz,
a multiple award winning glass cube that was
designed by Swiss architect Peter Zumthor.
Changing exhibitions can be seen at Vorarl-
berg Museum. Original: its facade is deco-
rated with over 16,000 concrete petals. The
top floor contains a unique „showroom“ with
an enormous window affording a panoramic
view over Lake Constance. Fine views of the
lake and the alpine landscape are also to be
had from the Pfänder, the mountain behind
Bregenz which can be ascended using a
cable car.
DORNBIRN
A popular destination in Dornbirn is inatura,
an interactive natural history centre with
science zones. The Rolls-Royce Museum con-
tains the world‘s largest collection of motor
cars of that luxury brand. Karren Mountain,
right on Dornbirn‘s doorstep, can be ascen-
ded by cable car to the glass-walled Panora-
ma Restaurant, which offers fantastic views.
HOHENEMS
The Jewish Museum in Hohenems explores
historical and topical subjects in its per-
manent exhibition and special exhibitions.
There are regular guided tours through the
carefully renovated Jewish quarter. Hohe-
nems also hosts some of the concerts of the
Schubertiade; the festival‘s principal locati-
on is Schwarzenberg in Bregenz Forest.
Experience grand opera, open-air, on the shores of Lake Constance. Stroll through bustling towns and villages. Re-energise yourself in the heart of the countryside. The landscapes between Lake Constance and the over 2,000 metre high mountains are a feast for the senses. Attentive hosts and inventive cooks know exactly how to treat their visitors. Vorarlberg invites its visitors to go on a journey of discovery and have
some really special experiences.
GOOD TASTE
Towns and villages contain a surprising number of interesting buildings. Nowhere else in Austria is so much well-designed contemporary architecture to be found in so small an area. The cooking is amongst the best in Austria. It largely relies on regionally sourced produce – from Lake Constance fish to the well-known hard
cheese, Bergkäse.
FELDKIRCH
The medieval town abounds in cobbled
streets and shady arcades. A modern touch
is supplied by the new Montforthaus, a
culture and congress centre. Find out about
local history in the museum inside Schatten-
burg castle, which towers above the town.
From the keep there are spectacular views
of the surrounding scenery. The tourist
office Feldkirch Tourismus offers a range
of interesting themed tours.
