Ressenyes de producció anteriors
4If the detailed production contains many riches, then so does the musical side. On stage for almost the entire performance and carrying most of the vocal writing, Aschenbach is a true test for any tenor, and Hans Schöpflin proves to be an outstanding interpreter. Using his clearly focused tenor and faultless English diction he creates a sympathetic character who retains his dignity throughout while becoming increasingly obsessed with the young boy Tadzio. If restraint is at the centre of Schöpflin’s performance, it is not without feeling and passion.
In der Hauptpartie überzeugt Anna Alàs i Jove sowohl schauspielerisch als auch mit sängerischer Ausstrahlung.
Sabine Mäder 's stage is mostly action-oriented. Only the abode of the four friends in the first picture - not an attic room, but a living container - has its acoustic and scenic pitfalls: the otherwise, in the middle to front stage area, excellent transparency and diction of all singers is in the small cubicle, although mostly wallless rear left, about 4 x 6 m in size, greatly reduced. To compensate for this somewhat remote location, a cameraman ( Oliver Lasch) close-ups of the container residents were made on stage, which are projected onto a surface in the right half of the stage, behind which the "Momus" counter is hidden. Not only is the cameraman's scurrying around annoying, but the transmission is also repeatedly chopped up by dropouts and pixelation. On the part of the leadership, the story is told very clearly and straightforwardly on the action and emotional level, and the latter level is also very carefully designed musically. This is the work of Markus Poschner , who lets the Bruckner Orchestra Linz play music precisely and transparently and of course also has the coordination between the pit and the stage perfectly under control.
The leading team had already staged four Mozart operas in Linz in recent years. The jubilation and the expected standing ovations were mainly for the musical side. Already with the overture, Markus Poschner showed his unquestionable competence for Mozart - with a beaming face and animating gestures for the ladies and gentlemen of the Bruckner Orchestra Linz, who for their part proved their professional quality right from the start. Already the first applause had frenetic quality. Poschner also understands how to accompany and reinforce the soloists to lead them to special performances. All roles could be satisfactorily to excellently cast by members of the ensemble.
