Slávka Zámečníková makes her role debut as Daria in "Prima la Mamma" at the Deutsche Oper am Rhein
Scandal behind the scenes!
Theater, theater everywhere! During the rehearsals for the highly tragic ancient epic “Romulus and Ersilia,” everything goes wrong: The prima donna doesn’t feel comfortable, she doesn’t like the trouser role, and the Tenor finally wants to play the first violin.
And to make matters worse, Mamma Agata, the second soprano's weird helicopter mother, bursts in...
When finally the trouser role and the Tenor leave in a huff, the situation is dire: Who will sing Romulus now? The completely unmusical Mamma Agata, without further ado and very helpful, offers to step in. But before that can happen, let alone the opera's performance, it's all over, and the opera house is to be closed!
In his opera buffa, in which the role of Mamma is played by a baritone (!), Gaetano Donizetti creates a musically multi-coloured and virtuoso parody of the customs and vices of the theatre, with all the clichés and eccentric tendencies of the artists, staged in a comedic, shrill and colourful manner by director Daniel Kramer (“Die tote Stadt”).
