NEST - New State Opera
The Teletubbies in Donaueschingen
The new State Opera in the Künstlerhaus (NEST) was opened with the world premiere of an alleged "children's opera". The successfully converted house has passed its baptism of fire. And so did the young visitors to "Sagt der Walfisch zum Thunfisch".
"Was that a joke?" A little boy asks. After the key scene in the new opera intended for children. In it, DU tells Captain NOE a joke to save himself from the deluge.
And it goes like this: "Says the whale to the tuna: What shall I do? Fish? Says the tuna to the whale: You have a choice! Fish!"
The laughter is also limited for the rest of the target audience (6 to 12). The YOU and the ME Teletubby lovingly repeat everything: "Splash! Splash! Boom! Boom!"
Perhaps the bland, atonal, bubbling music by Thierry Tidrow is also paralyzing? He has set a play by Carsten Brandau to music. But he probably wanted to compose for the avant-garde of the Donaueschingen Music Festival.
One would also have liked to understand what Captain NOE sings. Director Sara Ostertag tries to do this with a lot of color. In any case, the NEST has become a great, elegant house! And that's the main thing.
