Interview with Nassib Ahmadieh

The world premiere of »Die Jüdin von Toledo« (The Jewish Woman of Toledo) by German composer Detlev Glanert will be a unique experience in the final season of the Semperoper’s intendant, Peter Theiler. Having already written more than a dozen operas, Detlev Glanert has made a huge contribution to recent music-theatre history. The production is by the internationally renowned Canadian director Robert Carsen, here making his Semperoper debut.

In the five-act opera »Die Jüdin von Toledo«, the two men explore a tale of forbidden love between the Spanish King Alfonso VIII and his Jewish mistress Rahel – a drama of private passion and public duty. The work is based on the five-act play of the same name by Austrian playwright Franz Grillparzer. From this historical tragedy, Glanert has combined late Romantic sounds with traditions of the 20th century to create a singular and highly differentiated tonal language.

Premiere 10. February 2024
