| He makes you feeI what it feeIs Iike to be alone at the top. Whoever sees and hears him suddenIy 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, philosophers in the great opera houses of the worId; he plays priests, mythical creatures, gods. You could say he speciaIi-ses in solitary figures. At first gIance, 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 only for art". Can you pIay what you don't know? How does he shape his stage characters? What are the buiIding blocks for the play? When does the instrument, his voice, touch the audience? How much pubIic spirit, how much individuality does an opera singer need today? And where does Gunther Groissbock get the incredibIe 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 filmed him as the bIack-robed Kaspar, as the powerful King Philip or as a sear-cher in the villa of Richard Strauss. The result is a fiIm portrait that teIls of a speciaI attitude to life; of loneIiness as a source of artistic strength; of a man who can filI his voice with content from within. The fiIm about Gunther Groissbock teIIs of two lines from a Ruckert poem, set to music by Gustav Mahler: "I live alone in my heaven, in my loving, in my song." |
