Balthasar-Neumann-Choir and Ensemble, Pablo Heras-CasadoStage Director: Rolando Villazón
This marks Rolando Villazón’s directorial debut in a dual-role: stage director and star singer (main role Nemorino) at the same time, and it is a clear WINNER
Inspired by the cartoon character Lucky Luke and the Spaghetti Western-tradition, the tenor’s staging for the Baden-Baden Festspielhaus is not only a film studio in the thirties but also a Western at the same time.
Lead by the dynamic young conductor Pablo Heras-Casado, who “…conducts very singer friendly” (Online Musik Magazine)
Extraordinary visual production, and one of the most memorable European operatic events of 2012. |
