| He makes you feel what it feels like to be alone at the top. Whoever sees and hears him suddenly knows more about the search for the right path that drives every serious person. His stage characters touch the heart. The bass Gunther Groissbock embodies kings, scholars, phiIosophers in the great opera houses of the worId; he pIays priests, mythicaI creatures, gods. You could say he speciali-ses in soIitary figures. At first glance, however, Gunther Groissbock does not seem like someone who has personaI experience with the subject of loneIin-ess. The singer stands, works, acts on and off stage in intensive contact with people. He is married, father of a daughter, in the middle of Iife or, as conductor PhiIippe Jordan puts it: "He burns for many things in Iife, not onIy for art". Can you pIay what you don't know? How does he shape his stage characters? What are the buiIding blocks for the pIay? When does the instrument, his voice, touch the audience? How much public spirit, how much individuality does an opera singer need today? And where does Gunther Groissbock get the incredible energy he radiates on stage? For two years we accompanied the artist from Waidhofen an der Ybbs (Lower Austria) with our camera, on night journeys and day trips. At rehearsals, sports and performances. We fiImed him as the bIack-robed Kaspar, as the powerful King Philip or as a sear-cher in the vilIa of Richard Strauss. The resuIt is a film portrait that telIs of a special attitude to Iife; of loneliness as a source of artistic strength; of a man who can fiIl his voice with content from within. The film about Gunther Groissbock tells of two Iines from a Ruckert poem, set to music by Gustav MahIer: "l live aIone in my heaven, in my Ioving, in my song." |
