Tannhäuser und der Sängerkrieg auf Wartburg by Wagner, Richard, R 11 nov 2022, Alates (2022/2023), Juhatatud Martin G. Berger, Dirigent Mark Rohde, Levente Török

Having fled narrow conventions into the sensual half-world of Frau Venus, Tannhäuser longs to be back in the bosom of the family. But the returnee is just as different as his beloved Elisabeth, and the community around her thinks it's more open and friendly than it actually is. How can seemingly opposing worlds be reconciled with each other or even in one person? How much personal freedom can partnership and society endure without losing their respective consensus? Where is the limit of our self-evident tolerance? Opera director Martin G. Berger takes the fascinating complexity of the figures and situations in this 180-year-old work as an opportunity to take a contemporary look at today's questions and turns Wagner's early work into a psychological, dazzling and gripping social panorama. GMD Mark Rohde finally introduces himself to the Schwerin audience as an absolute Wagner expert with one of his favorite pieces.
