Fascinace Wagnerem TZ Aj.Indd
PRESS RELEASE opera Mgr. SILVIA HRONCOVÁ Director of Opera Faszination Wagner, a remarkable project combining opera and film, will receive its world premiere in Prague. Andreas Schager, one of the most acclaimed contemporary Heldentenors, will perform at the Forum Karlín. Prague, 4 October 2018 On 25 October, the National Theatre in Prague will host the world premiere of the unique Faszination Wagner project. Following the first night, at the Forum Karlín, it will be presented in other cities in Europe. The project, encompassing an opera performance and screening of a film, specially created for this occasion, may even be referred to as revolutionary. The evening features selected highlights from Richard Wagner’s operas, which will be performed by the State Opera Orchestra, conducted by Matthias Fletzberger, and the stellar singer Andreas Schager, one of the most acclaimed contemporary Heldentenors. The State Opera Orchestra, which is participating in a project of this kind for the very first time, will be led by the Austrian pianist and conductor Matthias Fletzberger, who said: “Wagner’s visions transcended the limits of music. His aim was to create a universal, comprehensive artwork, which would employ all the senses at the same time. Transformation of the content of live music to the form of film within the concert affords Wagner’s work a new dimension.” Along with Andreas Schager, his wife, the world-renowned violinist Lidia Baich, will appear as a soloist. The entire concept of the project, including the film, was created by the German stage and film director, screenwriter and musicologist of Turkish descent Selcuk Cara, who started his artistic career as an opera singer. -

The way his „Tristan chord“ resolves towards the end of the work during Isolde’s „Liebestod“ was unthinkable in those days. The composer was well aware how difficult it would be to stage this three act work: „Only mediocre productions might save me“, he wrote to Mathilde Wesendonck. The World Premiere on June 10th 1865 in the National Theatre in Munich, at the command of King Ludwig II, was a great success. The last production of Tristan in Frankfurt opened in 2003, directed by Christof Nel. The story: Although Tristan killed Isolde’s betrothed in battle, the Irish princess nursed the wounded knight back to health, incapable of carrying out her revenge. -

Audiovisual Recording As Registers of Opera Productions1
Comunicação e Sociedade, vol. 31, 2017, pp. 39 – 56 doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.17231/comsoc.31(2017).2603 The world in a bottle and the archeology of staging: audiovisual recording as registers of opera productions1 Mateus Yuri Passos Abstract This work focuses on the use of the audiovisual opera recording as a document to analyze contemporary stagings labeled by the German critics as director’s theater [Regietheater]. In direc- tor’s theater, Wagner’s total artwork project [Gesamtkunstwerk] achieves a turn in meaning, for the three artistic dimensions of opera – word, music and staging – become different texts. In this paper, we discuss the limitations of audiovisual recording as a register of director’s theater opera stagings, as well as filmic resources that allow for a reconstruction of the audiovisual text of such productions with solutions that are often quite distinct from those adopted on the stage. We are in- terested above all in problematizing the equivalence that is sometimes established between a stag- ing and its recording – especially in the contemporary context of productions that frequently suffer considerable changes and are characterized by the unique aspect of each performance, always full of singular events and relatively autonomous regarding the general plan of the director. Thus, we will discuss problems and solutions of video direction of audiovisual recordings of stagings of the operatic cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen [The Ring of Nibelungo], by Richard Wagner (1813-1883). Keywords Opera recording; director’s theater; opera staging; Regietheater; Richard Wagner Resumo Este trabalho se debruça sobre o uso de gravações audiovisuais como documentos para análise de producções de ópera contemporâneas agrupadas pela crítica alemã sob o termo tea- tro de director [Regietheater]. -

Summer 2010 Den Reif Geb’ Ich Nicht! Volume 7, Number 3 –Das Rheingold
Wagneriana Lasst mich in Ruh’! Summer 2010 Den Reif geb’ ich nicht! Volume 7, Number 3 –Das Rheingold From the Editor e are busy planning the upcoming season and have a number of interesting events in the works. The first is a talk and book signing by Professor Nicholas Vazsonyi, author of Richard Wagner: Self-Promotion and W the Making of a Brand, published by Cambridge University Press. The book was very well received when it was released last March. A reviewer from the Wall Street Journal wrote: “Written with panache and élan, conveying with refreshing brevity a palpable sense of Wagner's indefatigable industry . the first scholarly text to take seri- ously Wagner’s incessant self-promotional activity, Mr Vazsonyi’s book assumes considerable importance not only in musicology but also in the history of marketing.” According to Opera magazine, “It is . a cracking good read as we learn about Wagner’s abilities to turn himself into a ‘brand’ or to act as his own ‘PR agent.’ An important book, too, as Vazsonyi foregrounds an aspect of Wagner we hear too little about, re-aligning a great 19th-century figure through the filter of an avowedly 21st-century sensibility.” This book was also reviewed by Professor Hans Rudolf Vaget in the spring issue of Wagneriana. For details on the October 16 talk and book signing, see the back page. Our second event is a talk and audiovisual presentation by Hilan Warshaw, a talented young filmmaker and musician. This event was originally planned for September, but the date has now been changed to November 13. -
