Elena Zaremba

Elena Zaremba studierte an der Gneissin Musikschule und am Gneissin Musikinstitut in ihrer Heimatstadt Moskau. 1984 wurde sie in das Ensemble des Bolschoj Theaters aufgenommen, an dem sie wichtige Partien ihres Faches sang, unter anderem in »Boris Godunow« (Marina, Fjodor und Schenkwirtin), »Eugen Onegin« (Olga), »Pique Dame« (Polina) und in »Das Rheingold« (Erda). Es folgten Debüts am Royal Opera House Covent Garden (»Fürst Igor«), an der Metropolitan Opera (»Eugen Onegin«) und bei den Bregenzer Festspielen (»Carmen«). Sie sang unter anderem in Florenz, San Francisco, Wien, Köln, Brüssel, Tel Aviv, Tokio, Washington sowie an der Opéra National de Paris, der Bayerischen Staatsoper München und bei den Salzburger Festspielen. Im Januar 2001 folgte die Künstlerin der Einladung der Metropolitan Opera zu einem Galakonzert anlässlich des 60. Geburtstages Plácido Domingos. Mit ihm sang sie Duette aus »Il Trovatore« unter dem Dirigat von James Levine. Es folgten »Un Ballo in Maschera«, dirigiert von Plácido Domingo in New York sowie in Europa ein Auftritt bei Luciano Pavarottis Jubiläumskonzert. Im selben Jahr feierte Elena Zaremba in »Falstaff« ihr zehnjähriges Bühnenjubiläum. Sie verkörperte Fricka (»Das Rheingold«) in Madrid und wirkte bei der Neuproduktion von »Les Troyens«, dirigiert von James Levine, an der Metropolitan Opera mit. Mit Luciano Pavarotti sang die Mezzosopranistin bei einer Gala in Monte Carlo. Sie war an der Opéra Bastille (»Les Troyens«), am Liceu in Barcelona (»Chowanschtschina«) und an der Deutschen Oper Berlin (»Carmen«) zu erleben. Die Künstlerin interpretierte außerdem die Cieca in »La Gioconda« am Teatro Real in Madrid und die Carmen in Graz. Des weiteren war sie am Opernhaus in Barcelona in einer Produktion von »Pique Dame« sowie in einer Wiederaufnahme von »Un Ballo in Maschera« in Bilbao zu erleben. Es liegen zahlreiche Plattenaufnahmen mit Elena Zaremba vor, unter anderem von »Boris Godunow«, »Das Rheingold« und »Un Ballo in Maschera« sowie von Beethovens 9. Sinfonie unter Christoph von Dohnányi. Als Marfa (»Chowanschtschina«) gab Elena Zaremba in der Spielzeit 1995/96 ihr Debüt an der Hamburgischen Staatsoper, eine Rolle, die sie in der Spielzeit 2010/11 erneut verkörpert. Sie gab hier zwei Konzerte und war fünfmal in ihrer Paraderolle als Carmen zu erleben, zuletzt in der Spielzeit 2001/02. In der Spielzeit 2006/07 sowie in der darauf folgenden sang die Künstlerin die Ulrica in »Un Ballo in Maschera«.

Orchestra

Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg

The Philharmonic State Orchestra is Hamburg’s largest and oldest orchestra, looking back on many years of musical history. When the “Philharmonic Orchestra” and the “Orchestra of the Hamburg Municipal Theatre” merged in 1934, two tradition-steeped orchestras combined. Philharmonic concerts have been performed in Hamburg since 1828, artists such as Clara Schumann, Franz Liszt and Johannes Brahms being regular guests of the Philharmonic Society. The history of the opera company goes back even further: Hamburg has been home to musical theatre since 1678, even if a regular opera or theatre orchestra was only formed later. To this day, the Philharmonic State Orchestra has embodied the sound of the Hansa City, a concert and opera orchestra in one.

During its long history, the orchestra encountered great artist personalities. Apart from composers of the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, such as Telemann, Tchaikovsky, Strauss, Mahler, Prokofiev and Stravinsky, since the 20th century chief conductors such as Karl Muck, Joseph Keilberth, Eugen Jochum, Wolfgang Sawallisch, Horst Stein, Aldo Ceccato, Christoph von Dohnányi, Gerd Albrecht, Ingo Metzmacher and Simone Young have shaped the orchestra’s sound. Renowned conductors of the pre-war era such as Otto Klemperer, Wilhelm Furtwängler, Bruno Walter, Karl Böhm and Hans Schmidt-Isserstedt gave brilliant performances, as did outstanding conductors of our times: suffice it to mention Christian Thielemann, Semyon Bychkov, Kirill Petrenko, Adam Fischer and Sir Roger Norrington.

Starting with the 2015/2016 season, Kent Nagano has taken on the position of Hamburg’s General Music Director and Chief Conductor of the Philharmonic State Orchestra and the Hamburg State Opera and since June 2023 also its honorary conductor. In his first season Kent Nagano initiated a new project, the Philharmonic Academy, focusing on experimentation and chamber music. In 2016, Nagano and the Philharmonic toured South America, followed by concert tours to Spain and Japan in 2019, and in the spring of 2023, the Philharmonic State Orchestra made its debut at New York's Carnegie Hall under his direction, which was acclaimed by audiences and the press. Since 2017 Kent Nagano and the Philharmonic State Orchestra have continued the traditional Philharmonic Concerts at the new Elbphilharmonie, for which they commissioned Jörg Widmann to compose the oratorio ARCHE, which was given its world premiere during the hall’s opening festivities. The concert recording has been released by ECM, for which Widmann received the OPUS KLASSIK as Composer of the Year 2019, and ARCHE was performed again in 2023 to great acclaim.

The Philharmonic State Orchestra offers approximately 35 concerts per season and performs more than 240 performances per year at the Hamburg State Opera and the Hamburg Ballet John Neumeier, making it Hamburg’s busiest orchestra. The stylistic bandwidth covered by the 140 musicians, ranging from historically informed performance practice to contemporary works and including concert, opera and ballet repertoire, is unique throughout Germany. Chamber Music has a long tradition at the Philharmonic State Orchestra: what began in 1929 with a concert series for chamber orchestra has been continued since 1968 by a series of chamber music only.

In 2008 Simone Young and the Philharmonic State Orchestra won the Brahms Award of the Schleswig-Holstein Brahms Society. The orchestra has recorded the complete Ring by Wagner as well as the complete symphonies of Johannes Brahms and Anton Bruckner – the latter in the rarely-performed original versions – as well as works by Mahler, Hindemith and Berg, and has released DVDs of opera and ballet productions by Hosokawa, Offenbach, Reimann, Auerbach, J.S. Bach, Puccini, Poulenc and Weber.

The members of the Philharmonic State Orchestra feel equally beholden to Hamburg’s musical tradition and responsible for the city’s artistic future. Since 1978 the musicians have been participating in education programmes in Hamburg’s schools. Today, the orchestra maintains a broad education programme, including school and kindergarten visits, patronage for music projects, introductory events for children and family concerts. The orchestra’s own academy prepares young musicians for their professional careers. The Philharmonic’s musicians thereby make an equally enjoyable and valuable contribution to tomorrow’s music education in the music metropolis of Hamburg.
