In his passion for the music of Richard Wagner, Tony Cooper finds himself back in Deutschland attending yet another Ring cycle at Deutsche Oper Berlin
[…] too, working closely with Silke Baue. They came up with a host of highly-impressive and imaginative ideas. For instance, in Rheingold the set comprised a mammoth heavy silk-like drape dominating the stage at every angle and, indeed, also used throughout the cycle shaping itself in a wide variety of configurations over a multitude of scenes. And to illustrate the respective scene, visual images were regularly flashed on to the drape created by video designer, Torge Møller, complemented by pinpoint lighting effects conjured up by Ulrich Niepel. For instance, the dark world of Nilbelheim was projected by a fiery flaming-red wash as opposed to the brightness and heavenly-inspired white imagery reserved for Valhalla while the rainbow bridge was depicted by a lingering fusion of multi-coloured vapour trails slowly disappearing heavenwards. Overall, though, a strong and formidable cast was gathered together and worked extremely well together. The talented Swiss soprano, Flurina Stucki, […]

Tristan und Isolde, Oper Leipzig, 5 October 2019
[…] Wagner; of the performer; of the audience; and so forth. That we wish the dimly perceptible set to disappear entirely is symptomatic: Romantic illusion and delusion are ours, as well as the character’s, as well as Wagner’s. Perhaps, then, we did need to watch and listen more subtly. One might think of this as a collaboration between different forms of light: lighting and video, as well as those entrusted with it (Olaf Freese and Torge Møller of fettFilm); Freese in the programme booklet refers to a ‘Zusammenspiel [interplay] von Licht und Video’. Film, just as much as set design, creates and disintegrates the ship - at least until the close. Likewise, we might say, there are collaboration and, more dramatically, interplay between realism and abstraction; between the individual psychological of chamber theatre – often chamber music, too – and metaphysical symbolism; and, of particular importance to this production, between sea-voyage […]

Let's face it, culture is screwed
[…] as the Anglican writer Donald Allchin described, the barrier between this world and the world of the spirit dissolves. Varanasi's proximity to the subliminal has produced a great flowering of culture, and not all of it predictable. One notable example of the unpredictable flowering is the Glow of Benares project which brings together two leading Indian classical musicians, the Danish Sinfonietta, and the Aarhus Jazz Orchestra under the direction of Grammy-winning saxophonist and composer Lars Møller. In the early 90’s Lars Møller spent time in India studying under Shahnei-teachers Pandit Anant Lal and Pandit Daya Shankar. A later visit to Benares with several Danish musicians produced the video footage seen below which inspired Glow of Benares. This, thankfully, is not another of those hackneyed fusion projects. Time cannot stand still. Which means the boats carrying pilgrims on Mother Ganges at Varanasi today carry advertisements for 4G mobile phone networks. Music […]
