Otto Schenk's works streamed free of charge
Saison 2024/2025 |
Otto Schenk was more than just an opera director for the Vienna State Opera. He was an institution. Countless experiences, encounters and great theatrical moments connected him with the opera house on the Ring; his love for the profession, his passion, his knowledge and his artistic honesty were legendary. He gave the theater more than 30 premieres, from Mozart to modernism. In memory of this great man of the theater, the Vienna State Opera is broadcasting free streams of his work for seven days: A new opera every day, from Fidelio to Die Meistersinger.
"I'm a detailist: a posture, a gait, the way someone sits down, everything reveals more about their biography than three hours of talk about what kind of person they are and where they come from. Someone who picks their nose will not have had a good upbringing - there is no need to discuss this in detail. The biography is conveyed in detail!"
