Known For
An outsider—a hunchbacked jester—struggles to balance the dueling elements of beauty and evil that exist in his life.
Rigoletto
Live performance from the Vienna State Opera, 6 May 2010.
Carmen
While a number of fine recordings of Moses und Aron exist, this unique DVD of the opera makes a staging of the work accessible, with a variety of camera angle, including a judicious mixture of close-ups and longer shots of the stage. The recording is all the more remarkable for its origins in a live performance, since audience sounds are almost negligible in the DVD. It is an exemplary presentation that merits attention for conveying the opera well. With the stage details intact, and the wide-angle shots planned to make the best use of the stagecraft, the Nickler production, prepared for television by Claus Viller, is a fine example of filmed opera. The sound is quite fine and brings across the nuanced direction of Daniele Gatti, whose efforts join the ranks of other fine interpreters of this work, including Pierre Boulez and Georg Solti.
Moses and Aaron
Performance of Puccini's opera performed/streamed from Vienna on the 22nd February 2019
