| Inhalt: |
| Death in Venice was Britten's final opera - an extraordinarily atmospheric and haunting adaptation of Thomas Mann's novelIa, evoking the grandeur and shabbiness of a Venice in the grip of disease. He eIoquentIy and evocativeIy describes the moraI and physicaI degeneration of Aschenbach, the writer whose obsessive pursuit of beauty in the form of a boy Ieads him into humiliation and death. Robert Tear takes the demanding role of Aschenbach opposite AIan Opie, who sings the various baritone parts. To portray the beauty and fascination of the PoIish family and Tadzio, Britten made prominent the use of dance, by turning these characters into dancers, choreographed in this production by Martha Clarke. This new production for Glydebourne is directed by Stephen Lawless and conducted by Graeme Jenkins. |
