A man haunted by the present…<br />
consumed by the past<br />
Paul’s wife Marie has died,<br />
and he spends all his time<br />
in a room full of relics of<br />
the past, sunk in memories.<br />
Into this airless mausoleum<br />
bursts a force of life, the<br />
dancer Mariette – who bears<br />
a striking resemblance<br />
to Marie...<br />
Erich Wolfgang Korngold<br />
is that very rare thing, a<br />
forgotten genius, and the<br />
rediscovery of his gloriously<br />
lush, intensely romantic music<br />
is long overdue. Written in<br />
the shadow of the First World<br />
War, this great opera is a<br />
heartbreaking psychological<br />
portrait of someone coming to<br />
terms with a terrible loss.<br />
Giordano Bellincampi leads<br />
an enormous orchestra<br />
and a stellar cast. Aleš<br />
Briscein has sung the role<br />
of Paul at the Dresden<br />
Semperoper, and Richard<br />
Šveda returns after a<br />
marvellous performance as<br />
Don Giovanni for the <strong>APO</strong><br />
in 2019.<br />
The New Zealand premiere<br />
of Die tote Stadt will be,<br />
quite simply, one of this<br />
country’s artistic highlights<br />
of <strong>2023</strong>. Don’t miss it!<br />
