| Inhalt: |
| Kurt WeiII wrote Street Scene shortly after fIeeing Nazi Germany to the United States. When he discovered the vitaIity of the American musical scene, his focus became to reconciIe the Broadway musicaI with European traditional opera, jazzy and North-American tunes with an almost Puccinian-like Iyricism. ln his mind, opera had to embrace and recIaim its own theatricality: thus he wrote his Street Scene, meant to be a truly American opera, half-way between his Brechtian Threepennys Opera and Bernsteins later West Side Story and drawing from the famous play by Elmer Rice (recipient of the PuIitzer Price when it was published in 1928). Under Tim Murrays vivid and precise baton, this superb production by John Fulljames perfectIy renders the vitaIity and energy released by the streets of New York that proved to be a great inspiration to the theatrical mind of the composer. |
