Wozzeck - Aix-en-Provence Festival (2023) - Wozzeck - Festival d'Aix-en-Provence (2023)

Description

New production.

"For his third appearance at the Festival, Simon McBurney captures Wozzeck's last minute as he drowns and turns the stage into a spectacular exteriorization of his tormented psyche, a grotesque recollection of his obsessions. Sir Simon Rattle finds the London Symphony Orchestra at the head of a first-rate cast; Christian Gerhaher puts all his knowledge of Liedersänger to the benefit of an incarnation as subtle as it is heartbreaking of the title role, which has become a myth of our time."

More information is available on the official website of the festival.
