In HAMLET nimmt Regisseur Neil Armfield den Blick hinter die Kulissen ernst und wagt den Blick auf die Rückseite des Offensichtlichen. Wir wiederum blicken in der jüngsten Ausgabe der Reihe OBSERVATIONS hinter die Kulissen der Glyndebourne-Produktion.
Vladimir Jurowski reflektiert indes über die Herausforderungen in Brett Deans zeietgenössischer Komposition. Was haben etwa Kieselsteine mit Psychologie zu tun? Das ist hier die Frage. Aber keine Sorge, auch der Klassiker "Sein, oder nicht sein?" wird natürlich eine Rolle spielen.
