Bregenzer
Festival 2007 Schedule |
| Tosca
Following the great success of La Bohème
in 2001 and 2002, another masterpiece by the Italian
composer Giacomo Puccini, Tosca, awaits visitors
to the festival in 2007 and 2008 on the Floating
Stage. Puccini's famous opera has deservedly become
a classic of the stage. Tosca is fascinating for
its highly dramatic story of passionate love and
heinous betrayal centring on three main characters.
The opera makes huge demands of its performers
in terms of both singing and acting ability.
Premiere:
19. Juli 2007 - 9.15 pm
further performances:
20., 21., 22., 24., 26., 27., 28. and 29. July

Death
in Venice
The last opera of the British composer Benjamin
Britten (1913-1976), will be the Festival Opera
House production of summer 2007, premiering on 18
July 2007. A co-production with the Aldeburgh Festival
in England, the opera will be directed by the Japanese
director and actor Yoshi Oida.
The opera Death in Venice, first performed on 16
June 1973 at the Aldeburgh Festival, is based on
Thomas Mann's celebrated novella with the same title,
published in 1972. Benjamin Britten is likely to
have identified strongly with the principal character,
the author Gustav von Aschenbach, who quits his
home in Munich for Venice, aware of his diminishing
vitality and hoping desperately for inspiration.
Once there, he spends his time between the hotel
and the beach, restless and beset by strange reveries,
passing the hours by observing the other guests.
Aschenbach encounters and becomes infatuated with
12 year old Polish boy, Tadzio, and begins to venture
beyond the bounds of the world he knew before. Aschenbach
believes he has discovered in Tadzio such perfection
of form as he has striven his life long to achieve
in literature.
Premiere: 18. July 2007 - 7.30 pm
further Performances:
22. and 29. July - 11.00 am
4. August - 14.00 pm
5. August - 11.00 am
