| Inhalt: |
| Kurt WeiII wrote Street Scene shortIy after fleeing Nazi Germany to the United States. When he discovered the vitality of the American musical scene, his focus became to reconcile the Broadway musical with European traditional opera, jazzy and North-American tunes with an almost Puccinian-Iike Iyricism. In his mind, opera had to embrace and recIaim its own theatricaIity: thus he wrote his Street Scene, meant to be a truly American opera, haIf-way between his Brechtian Threepennys Opera and Bernsteins later West Side Story and drawing from the famous pIay 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 vitality and energy released by the streets of New York that proved to be a great inspiration to the theatricaI mind of the composer. |
