Ensemble - Deutsche Oper Berlin

Daniel  Weltlinger

Daniel Weltlinger

Daniel Weltlinger (* 1977 in Sydney) ist ein australisch-ungarischer Jazzmusiker (Geige, Komposition). Er studierte am Konservatorium seiner Geburtsstadt. Noch während des Studium begann er eine Zusammenarbeit mit dem Gitarristen Yaron Hallis, aus der sich das Weltmusik-Projekt Monsieur Camembert entwickelte, das in Australien ab 2002 mit drei ARIA Awards ausgezeichnet wurde. 2004 kam er von Australien das erste Mal nach Deutschland, um mit Lulo Reinhardt aufzutreten (Latin Swing Project 2007).

Weltlinger legte seit 2011 unter eigenem Namen eine Trilogie vor, die sich mit der Musik von Django Reinhardt, ihren Interpreten und Fans auseinandersetzte. Der zweite Teil, das Album „Koblenz“ erhielt im Down Beat eine 5-Sterne-Bewertung und gehörte zu den Aufnahmen, die diese Zeitschrift 2015 in die Liste der besten Alben des Jahres aufnahm. Auf seinem aktuellen Album „Szolnok“ zeichnet er musikalisch die Geschichte einer von ihm geerbten Geige, die einst seinem Großvater Zoltán Fyszman (1902–1998) und zuvor dessen Bruder Ernö gehört hat, durch zahlreiche Länder Europas und Nordafrikas über den Nahen Osten bis nach Australien.

Weiterhin arbeitete er in der israelischen Gruppe „Swing de Gitanes“ und ist an zwei Alben dieses Ensembles beteiligt. Zudem wirkte er in dem Projekt „Radio Django“ mit dem Gitarristen Janko Lauenberger, im ungarischen Folk-Experimental-Duo „The Huns“ mit Taylor Savvy sowie an zwei australischen Improvisationsprojekten „Zohar's Nigun“ und „The Asthmatix“ mit Daniel Pliner mit, die jüdische Musik mit Jazz und Electronica/Hip-Hop fusionieren. Auch nahm er mit Sharon Brauner & Karsten Troyke (Yiddish Berlin), Kenneth Dahl Knudsen, Rino van Hooijdonk und Aiko Aiko auf. Mit dem Moka Efti Orchestra war er an Musik für die Fernsehserie „Berlin Babylon“ beteiligt.

Adventskalender in der Tischlerei: Das 5. Fensterchen

Today in the Tischlerei: ‘Rossini, Liszt and more’
with Kangyoon Shine Lee (tenor) and Songyeon Catarina Kim (piano)
5pm / Tischlerei
Duration: approx. 25 minutes / free admission


The evening begins with musical declarations of love: love is illuminated in all its facets – from the idealised, the yearning to the devoted and the melancholy – in three songs by Franz Liszt and an aria from Rossini's IL BARBIERE DI SIVIGLIA. Franz Liszt's ‘Enfant, si j'etais roi’ (‘Child, if I were king’) and ‘Oh! Quand je dors’ (‘Oh! When I sleep’) are settings of poems by Victor Hugo. In the first, the beloved is given everything imaginable – but it can never be enough. The second poem describes a nocturnal vision of the beloved, who appears like an angel, kisses the sleeping person and fills them with heavenly love. Liszt's ‘Liebestraum Nr. 3’ (‘Oh dear, as long as you can love’) is one of a series of three songs that Liszt later arranged in a purely instrumental form and which became emblematic of romantic piano music. The original text was written by Ferdinand Freiligrath and deals with the transience of love and the resulting need to cherish and cultivate it in the here and now. You will hear the Korean pianist Songyeon Catarina Kim at the piano. She then lovingly accompanies our ensemble member Kangyoon Shine Lee in an aria that he will sing again on our main stage from 31 March 2025, when he takes on the role of Count Almaviva in Katharina Thalbach's production of Rossini's IL BARBIERE DI SIVIGLIA: the cavatina ‘Ecco, ridente in cielo’. In it, Almaviva sings about the beauty of the morning and his ardent love for Rosina – it is a lyrical and romantic beginning to an otherwise predominantly comedic opera. It is followed by the song ‘La danza’ from Rossini's collection of songs ‘Les soirées musicales’, published about 20 years later, which describes the joyful hustle and bustle of a Neapolitan festival. The musical basis for this song is the tarantella, a fast, rhythmic folk dance from southern Italy. The programme will conclude with a contemplative Christmas favourite, ‘O Holy Night’.

Lyric tenor Kangyoon Shine Lee was born in Seoul. He first graduated from the Korea National University of Arts before studying with Kammersänger Prof. Roman Trekel at the Hanns Eisler School of Music Berlin from 2022. In 2021, Kangyoon Shine Lee won the Belvedere Competition and received an engagement at the Deutsche Oper Berlin. He made his house debut on 27 December 2022 as Almaviva in Rossini's IL BARBIERE DI SIVIGLIA and also sang in DAS WUNDER DER HELIANE. In the 2024/25 season, he will be part of the ensemble here at the theatre and can be heard in roles such as Tamino in Mozart's MAGIC FLUTE and the children's version THE FAIRY TALE OF THE MAGIC FLUTE, as Count von Lerma / DON CARLO, Cavalier Belfiore / IL VIAGGIO A REIMS, Malcolm / MACBETH, Walther von der Vogelweide / TANNHÄUSER and Pang / TURANDOT.

The South Korean pianist Songyeon Catarina Kim studied piano at Kyunghee University in Seoul. She has won numerous Korean and international competitions. Since 2021, she has been studying Lied interpretation with Prof. Wolfram Rieger at the Hanns Eisler School of Music Berlin. She is currently studying chamber music with Prof. Wolfram Rieger as part of her concert exam. During her studies, she was a répétiteur in lessons with KS Prof. Roman Trekel, Prof. Anna Korondi, KS Prof. Ewa Wolak, Prof. Martin Bruns and Prof. Christine Schäfer, as well as a répétiteur in masterclasses with KS Brigitte Fassbaender and KS Prof. Thomas Quasthoff. She has also worked as a répétiteur for scenic instruction at the Immling Festival, the Darmstadt Theatre and the Erfurt Theatre. In the 2024/25 season, she will work as a répétiteur at IMMMERMEEEHR at the Deutsche Oper Berlin.
