Tannhäuser by Wagner, Ħam 27 Ott 2022, Minn (2022/2022), Immexxi minn David Hermann,, Surmast Direttur Daniele Rustioni

A meeting between four young people opens the lyrical season. Richard Wagner was 32 when he conducted the premiere of his opera Tannhäuser in Dresden. We are in 1845 and it is already his fifth lyrical work. The Franco-German David Hermann, the youngest director to have ever worked at the Salzburg Festival, at 29, is inspired here by the torn universe of Philip K. Dick, whom Ridley Scott made famous with his film- cult Blade Runner in 1982. Daniele Rustioni, 38, is inaugurating his new position as musical director of the Opéra de Lyon. And Tannhäuser is a young hero torn between the sensual passion that attaches him to the goddess Venus and the divine love he has for the pure and holy Elizabeth. Three acts of sustained intensity plunge us into a journey through the composer's obsessions and incredible musical inventions, a journey into his visionary lyricism.
