A Monk

Following his spectacular interpretation of Parsifal, Kirill Serebrennikov will now stage it for the second time at the Vienna State Opera.
The musical language exhibits an almost morbid raﬃness: an elegance, empﬁndsamkeit and rapture of the sweeping melodies, an abysmally shadowed harmony, darkly glowing orchestral colors that make all contrasts, however abrupt, appear veiled and muted.
Verdi worked on this opera, with interruptions, for over twenty years. There are no fewer than seven versions created with the composer's direct involvement. Italian productions of the five-act work, which premiered in Paris, gave Verdi the opportunity to make radical rewrites and to recompose entire scene complexes. A condensed four-act version was first presented at La Scala in Milan in 1884 - it will also form the basis of the new Viennese production.
