Peter Gelb, der Direktor der Metropolitan Opera in New York, braucht derzeit Humor und Selbstironie. Gleichzeitig muss der, der das größte Opernhaus der USA durch die Krise bringt, ein knallharter Manager sein. Gelb hatte den Mut, dafür das ganze Orchester gegen sich aufzubringen, einen Streit mit den Gewerkschaften auszufechten und das alternde Publikum und die Mäzene des traditionell konservativen Hauses mit mehr Zeitkritik zu konfrontieren. Seit dem Krieg in der Ukraine zeigt die bislang unpolitische Met dank Peter Gelb ganz klar Haltung. Antje Passenheim hat ihn an seinem Arbeitsplatz getroffen.

Ahead of a new production of Britten's Peter Grimes at the Royal Opera House, Sara Mohr-Pietsch hears from members of the creative team bringing this compelling tale of an outsider to life, in a post-pandemic, 21st-century context. The composer Anna Clyne also talks to Sara about her latest work, including a Handel-inspired piece to be premiered later this month by the Academy of Ancient Music and the National Youth Choir of Great Britain. As the situation in Ukraine continues, Sara looks talks to Peter Gelb, general manager of the Metropolitan Opera in New York, about the company's parting of ways with Russian soprano Anna Netrebko, and to conductor Thomas Sanderling about the decision to leave his post at the Novosibirsk Philharmonic Orchestra, asking the question of how one effectively balances art and politics. And the phenomenally successful Italian composer Ludovico Einaudi joins Sara from his home studio in the Italian Alps, where the pandemic allowed a break in his usual hectic schedule to reappraise his creative process.

Peter Mattei är en av vår tids största operasångare, med titelrollen i Mozarts "Don Giovanni" som ett av sina paradnummer. I den här dokumentären hör vi Mattei sjunga redan som 6-åring. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Peter Mattei har gjort ”Don Giovanni” åtskilliga gånger med olika regissörer. Bland dem finns den engelske teaterlegendaren Peter Brook i Aix-en-Provence 1998, då Peter Mattei fick sitt stora internationella genombrott. Matteis scenkonst kännetecknas av äkta sångarglädje, en sagolik barytonröst och ett härligt skådespeleri, och han sjunger lika entusiastiskt när han exempelvis tolkar sånger av Mahler och Schubert som amerikanska evergreens och argentinsk tango på turné i Norrbotten. I den här dokumentären utvecklar han sina tankar om sången och rösten, om det hårda arbetet som ligger bakom olika rolltolkningar och om samarbetet med olika regissörer, däribland Michael Haneke. Dokumentären är en mosaik av en nygjord och ett antal äldre intervjuer som kulturjournalisten Kerstin Berggren gjort med den idag 53-årige Mattei under 25 år - i New York, Paris, Wien, Aix-en-Provence och på andra ställen, för att inte tala om Luleå de drygt fyra milen norr om Piteå där han föddes en sommardag 1965. I programmet medverkar också Metropolitanoperans chef Peter Gelb och den franske regissören Patrice Chéreau. En P2 Dokumentär av Kerstin Berggren.

Sam talks is joined by Peter Gelb, General Manager of the Met Opera House, to discuss the brand new documentary The Opera House and the history of live cinema broadcast as pioneered by the Met. Peter offers up some hot tips for must-sees in the next Met season. The Opera House, a new film by award-winning documentary filmmaker Susan Froemke, surveys a remarkable period of the Metropolitan Opera’s rich history and a time of great change for New York. Featuring rarely seen archival footage, stills, recent interviews, and a soundtrack of extraordinary Met performances, the film chronicles the creation of the Met’s storied home of the last 50 years, against the backdrop of the artists, architects, and politicians who shaped the cultural life of New York City in the ’50s and ’60s. Among the notable figures in the film are famed soprano Leontyne Price, who opened the new Met in 1966 in Samuel Barber’s Antony and Cleopatra; Rudolf Bing, the Met’s imperious General Manager, who engineered the move from the old house to the new one; Robert Moses, the unstoppable city planner who bulldozed an entire neighborhood to make room for Lincoln Center; and Wallace Harrison, whose quest for architectural glory was never fully realized.
Metropolitan Opera general manager Peter Gelb tells Jim Zirin of his new film "The Opera House," which documents the trials and triumphs of closing the opera’s old home in 1966, and constructing a new location at Lincoln Center, where it lives today.

Världsstjärnan Peter Mattei gör ständigt avtryck på de stora operascenerna. Som Don Juan har han rivit ner La Scalas ridå och blivit utkastad från en skyskrapa i Paris. Don Juan är ett av Peter Matteis paradnummer men han har förstås gjort en lång rad andra roller. 2013 debuterade han som Amfortas i Wagners opera Parsifal. Peter Gelb, chef för Metropolitan i New York prisar i Spotlight Peter för insatsen. - Peter Mattei är kanske den bäste Amfortas i alla tider, säger Gelb. Kerstin Berggren gjorde sin första intervju med Peter Mattei 1993 och nu träffas de i Wien och nystar i gemensamma minnestrådar. Som t ex samarbetet med Michael Haneke i Paris och när Peter som Don Juan rev ner ridån på La Scala i Milano.

Members of the stagehands union were advised this week to prepare for a picket at the Metropolitan Opera in anticipation of a lockout. And according to one union source involved in the current talks between the Met and 12 of its unions, "there's virtually no chance of a deal" this week. The Met has pushed its contract deadline to Sunday night while a third-party financial analyst has been examining its books for over a week. But sources independently confirmed that the parties remain far apart on monetary and philosophical issues. If talks break down, a lockout could happen as early as Monday. So where will the Met labor dispute end up? And how are the different parties making their cases? In this podcast, three views: James Jorden, editor of the opera blog Parterre Box and a contributor to the New York Observer. Drew McManus, an arts consultant who writes the blog Adaptistration. Lois S. Gray, a Professor of Labor Management Relations Emeritus at Cornell University. Subscribe to Conducting Business on iTunes Segment Highlights: Why not continue to talk and prepare for the season without a contract? McManus: "All of this circles around using deadlines as bargaining leverage. There's no way that playing and talking can continue indefinitely." Gray: "One of the reasons why the Met is forcing an early deadline before the season starts is that during the season, the leverage would be on the part of the union, to call a strike while the production is on." Why haven't the company's stars been more vocal in the dispute? Jorden: "From what I hear, there's a real division in AGMA [the singers' union] between the principals and chorus, stage managers and other groups. AGMA is basically a chorus union. I don't think there would be that much enthusiasm on the part of the principals to say, 'oh yes, we really need to support AGMA.'" How is the union's P.R. strategy of attacking general manager Peter Gelb working for them? McManus: "It's worth pointing out that the animosity that's being directed toward Gelb has not been directed towards the organization's board of directors. They've been pretty much been off-limits. You have to have a way for either side to save face. In this case, by not attacking the board and focusing on Gelb instead, it doesn't target the board's reputation for governance. If they decide to meet the musicians on Gelb's management style, that's more oversight." Has the Met effectively made its case to the public, that it needs to save money through cuts to labor costs? Gray: "Does the Met have to cut costs or does it have to raise more money? This is an issue for symphony orchestras throughout the United States and it's true of the whole cultural sector." McManus: "The Met's strategy so far has been a zero-sum bargaining strategy: 'Here's the percentage of cuts and we're willing to talk about where the cuts have to happen.' If the Met continues to adopt that policy, the likelihood for a lockout is very high." Listen to the full segment above and tell us what you think of negotiations in the comments box below.
Det har nu gått sju år sedan direktsändningarna från Metropolitanoperan i New York till digitala biografer i hela världen startade . Då kunde ingen ana vilken enorm succé som var på väg att födas. Idag är mer än 1.975 biografer i 64 länder med i kulturutbytet och det innefattar såväl storstäder som små byar på avlägsna orter. 14 miljoner operabiljetter har Metropolitan sålt och idag är det inte bara opera som sprids över världen utan teater, dans, musik har hittat ut till en intresserad och engagerad publik som slukar det mesta i biomörkret. Nu har även de stora museerna i världen gett sig in i leken och gjort det möjligt för en stor publik att ta del av de mest spektakulära konstutställningar.
