In the wake of the worldwide corona pandemic, we asked director Mariusz Treliński to rework his staging of ‘Die tote Stadt’. That means fewer musicians in the orchestra pit and a reduced stage design, but we can assure you that the final product remains as powerful as Korngold intended. 'Die tote Stadt' premieres tomorrow at La Monnaie.

Die tote Stadt | Interview Mariusz Treliński

A restrained psychological thriller, a muted portrait of a city, and one of the masterpieces of Belgian Symbolism: in Bruges-la-Morte, a gloomy Venice of the North reflects the grieving process of a man who, following the death of his wife, sinks into a mood of obsession and delusion. The operatic adaptation of the novel was a huge hit for 23-year-old Erich Wolfgang Korngold, whose ecstatic, at times exuberant music prefigured his later career as a film composer. The work has inspired the director Mariusz Treliński to create a production in which the lines between reality and the imaginary are constantly blurred, while the La Monnaie Symphony orchestra reaps the benefits of conductor Lothar Koenigs’ unerring feeling for the late-Romantic repertoire.

To celebrate the centenary of Die tote Stadt in safe conditions, we have had to radically adapt the originally announced production. La Monnaie and Theater an der Wien ordered a complete reorchestration of the piece for 57 musicians, and the runtime was reduced to under two hours, as to avoid the need for an intermission. The artistic team is working on an adapted staging.
