Info zu Bronsart: Jery und Bätely
Die gebürtige Sankt Petersburgerin Ingeborg von Bronsart studierte bei Liszt in Weimar. Ihr markantes Äußeres hat ihr den Spitznamen »Ingeborg die Schöne« eingebracht. Goethes Libretto für Jery und Bätely ist eine charmante und bukolische Erzählung über eine unerwiderte Romanze zwischen einer hübschen Schweizer Milchmagd und einem begehrten Junggesellen, die schließlich durch eine absurde Verkupplung zusammengeführt werden. Bronsart erweckt diese Geschichte mit exquisiter Musik zum Leben, von einer aufregenden Ouvertüre über eine ununterbrochene Entwicklung in Melodie und Harmonie bis hin zu einem wirbelnden Finale, und schuf ein Singspiel, das ihren Ruf als erfolgreiche Bühnenkomponistin begründete.
