The Bayreuth Festival is thrust into a new age, the digital age, by the application of Augmented Reality in a ground-breaking new production of Wagner's Parsifal
[…] conceived by Scheib and his running mate, video/AR designer, Joshua Higgason. And with Joseph Calleja bowing out of the title-role because of a persistent throat infection, it caused further disappointment. He was replaced by Andreas Schager who, in fact, made his Bayreuth début in the same role in Uwe Eric Laufenberg’s magnificent staging of Parsifal in 2016. Originally, Schager had been scheduled to sing Erik in Holländer, the role passing on to Croatian tenor, Tomislav Mužek. A complicated process, the technology of Augmented Reality can only be viewed through headsets which are linked to small boxes under one’s seat not too dissimilar to smartphones without, of course, screens. Each box has an app containing the AR content directly linked to the glasses. A stage manager is on hand following the piano score communicating as to when the content should appear. A memorable production for sure it will also be memorable for the […]

Wagner: Der Fliegende Holländer - Tomislav Muzek, Elisabeth Teige, Nadine Weissmann - Bayreuth Festival (Photo: Bayreuther Festspiele/Enrico Nawrath)Wagner: Der fliegende Holländer; Attilio Glaser, Tomislav Mužek, Elisabeth Teige, Michael Volle, Nadine Weissmann, Georg Zeppenfeld; dir: Dmitri Tcherniakov; cond: Oksana Lyniv; Bayreuth FestivalReviewed by Tony Cooper, 23 August 2023A creative and imaginative force, Dmitri Tcherniakov’s Holländer is a masterful production and one to chalk upThe myth of the Dutchman is thought to have come from an episode in Heinrich Heine’s satirical novel of 1833, Memoirs of Herr von Schnabelewopski, in which a character attends a theatrical performance of The Flying Dutchman in Amsterdam. Nevertheless, it could have also originated from the 17th-century Golden Age of the Dutch East India Company. However, the opera’s première took place in Dresden on 2nd January 1843 but was pulled from the repertoire after just four performances and shelved for a couple of decades. The inspiration for Wagner to write […]

Bayreuth Festival (1) - Der fliegende Holländer, 14 August 2023
Festspielhaus Daland – Georg ZeppenfeldSenta – Elisabeth TeigeErik – Tomislav MužekMary – Nadine Weissmann Steersman – Tansel AkzeybekDutchman – Michael Volle Dmitri Tcherniakov (director, designs) Elena Zaytseva (costumes) Gleb Filshtinsky (lighting) Tatiana Werestchagina (dramaturgy) Bayreuth Festival OrchestraBayreuth Festival Orchestra (chorus master: Eberhard Friedrich)Oksana Lyniv (conductor) It had been six, not seven, years since I last saw The Flying Dutchman, but it was time. So it was for ‘H’: Holländer, rather than a friend from Line of Duty, though there was certainly something of the allied Nordic Noir genre to Dmitri Tcherniakov’s staging, first seen in 2021. The Dutchman revisits his home town following an horrific crime, resulting in a woman, perhaps a prostitute, left hanging from a window, seen (or dreamed) during the Overture. He plays his cards close to his chest, but is bent ultimately on justice, revenge, or both, insofar as they may be separated. Is […]

Conducted by Axel Kober the production featured John Lundgren as the Dutchman, Ricarda Merbeth as Senta, Tomislav Mužek as Erik and Peter Rose as Daland. Mr Gloger’s quite daring in his approach to the work and I found not only his production to be dramatically convincing […]
