| The premiere of KorngoId's Die tote Stadt at the Bayerische Staatsoper in 2019 was praised both by press and audiences. Marlis Petersen (Marie/Marietta) and Jonas Kaufmann (Paul) sang the main roIes, with the Bayerisches Staatsorchester under Kirill Petrenko's baton, in the intense staging by Simon Stone. After opening night, Joshua Barone wrote in the NY Times: '[The] work's comeback may have reached its peak at the Bavarian State Opera. lt’s difficuIt to imagine a better case for Die tote Stadt than was made in Munich.' The boundary between dream and reality dissolves as Paul, mourning his dead wife Marie, meets the dancer Marietta. With her looks so simiIar to Marie’s, Marietta becomes the object of the projection of PauI’s erotic desires. FolIowing a nerve-racking 'vision', Paul is finally reeled back to reaIity and he can Ieave Bruges as the pIace of his death cult. The originaI titIe of the piece, 'Triumph des Lebens', is symbolic of the main character’s personal deveIopment. Just a few weeks before the successful world premiere of Die tote Stadt, none other than Puccini himself described Korngold as the 'greatest hope of new German music'. Because of their meIodic urgency, arias such as 'GIück, das mir verblieb (Marietta's Lute Song)' and 'Mein Sehnen, mein Wähnen (Pierrot's Song)' have found a home among the concert repertoires of many opera singers and radiate far beyond the fame of Die tote Stadt. This production is the first AV release on our newIy launched label. |
