The boundary between dream and reality increasingly dissolves when Paul, who is mourning his late wife Marie, meets the dancer Marietta. Due to her external resemblance to Marie, Marietta becomes a projection surface for Paul's erotic desires, whose mourning has cult-like characteristics: the carefully preserved strand of hair of the deceased is kept like a relic. After a nerve-racking, cathartic “vision,” Paul is finally grounded in reality. He can leave the city of Bruges as the place for his death cult. The original title of the work “Triumph of Life” is indicative of the protagonist’s personal development.
A few weeks before the immensely successful premiere of Die tote Stadt, none other than Giacomo Puccini described the then 23-year-old Erich Wolfgang Korngold as “the strongest hope of new German music”. Because of their melodic urgency, arias such as “Glück, das mir verblichen” and “Mein Sehnen, mein Wähnen” are part of the concert repertoire of numerous opera singers and radiate far beyond the popularity of the Dead City .
