Mort à Venise

Valide

Thomas Mann's novella “Death in Venice”, published in 1912, paints an ambivalent scenario: the aging poet Gustav von Aschenbach travels to Venice to escape senselessness and loneliness. In the city in the lagoon he is first captured by pleasurable impressions. But suddenly an ominous storm is approaching: Rumor has it that cholera has attacked the “Serenissima”. Gustav von Aschenbach, however, is already spellbound by the beauty of the young Polish boy Tadzio - and so Aschenbach misses the last opportunity to escape the epidemic ...

This narrative of genius and aesthetic sensibility, obsession, homoeroticism and taboo fascinated not only Luchino Visconti, who filmed the subject in 1971, but also Benjamin Britten, who in 1973 created one of his densest and most profound works with his last opera “Death in Venice”.

The work will be performed at the Volksoper in a production by the Scottish director David McVicar, which breathtakingly absorbs Thomas Mann's atmosphere and mirrors it in a masterly manner.
