The delightful light operatic farce by Johann Strauss is presented at the Morbisch Lake Festival (Seefestspiele Mörbisch) starring Herbert Lippert, Richard Samek, Heinz Zednik and Dagmar Schellenberger.

未亡人ハンナとかつての恋人ダニロ。そしてミルコの妻に言い寄るカミーユ。この二組の恋が絡み合う、レハール作の喜劇です。オペレッタ演出の第一人者であるローナーが、ゴージャスなステージ・セット&デザイン、そして衣装を得て作り上げた、リアルな貴族の館を思わせる世界。音楽監督であるヴェルザー=メストはグラインドボーン音楽祭でもこのオペレッタを指揮して大好評を得ており、作品が生まれた時代の雰囲気を伝えてくれます。

Based on a true story, the "Dialogues des Carmelites" sets the life of the Carmelites nuns at the dawn of the French Revolution. “Robert Carsen's production is effective in its simplicity, allowing the drama to speak for itself. Dagmar Schellenberger compellingly conveys Blanche's journey from distress to acceptance… Anja Silja's portrayal of the old Prioress is outstanding, with its disturbing transformation from serene wisdom to terrified, blasphemous, near-madness as death approaches. ...Riccardo Muti and the La Scala orchestra in magnificent form, captured in magnificent sound. Ultimately, it is the final scene, with its multiple executions, that makes or breaks a production of Dialogues. Carsen's allegorical solution is both elegant and deeply moving.” BBC Music Magazine, September 2007

Dagmar Schellenberger, Nikolai Schukoff, Harald Serafin, and Mirjana Irosch star in this production of the Kalman operetta with Rudolf Bibl conducting the Festival Orchestra Moerbisch.
