Priest
The world premiere of composer Kaija Saariaho's opera, "Innocence", at the 2021 Aix-en-Provence Festival. Finland is the setting but the protagonists come from the four corners of Europe: a Finnish groom and his Romanian bride, a French mother-in-law and a Czech maid. Around them memories unravel in a contemporary tragedy of guilt and lost innocence.
This performance of the Richard Wagner opera Logengrin was filmed in high definition for the Bayreuth Festival in 2011, and features vocalists like Georg Zeppenfeld, Klaus Florian Vogt, and Anette Dasch in the leading roles.
カテリーナ・ワーグナー時代を迎えたバイロイト音楽祭で2009年クリストフ・マルターラー演出、新制作された楽劇《トリスタンとイゾルデ》のライブ収録。端正な騎士然としたロバート・ディーン・スミスと迫力溢れる歌唱のイレーネ・テオリンの二人が表題役を演じ、ペーター・シュナイダー指揮によるバイロイト祝祭管弦楽団と合唱団が楽劇全体をしっかり支えるバイロイトの《トリスタンとイゾルデ》に新たな一章を加える好演です。
The Forester
In the forest, the animals and insects are playing and dancing. The Forester enters and lies down against a tree for a nap. A curious Vixen Cub inquisitively chases a frog right into the lap of the surprised forester who forcibly takes the vixen home as a pet. Time passes and we see the Vixen, now grown up into a young adult tied up in the forester's yard with the conservative old dachshund. Fed up with life in confinement, the vixen chews through her rope and runs off to freedom.
