After A Midsummer Night's Dream and Owen Wingrave, the Department of Opera & Music Theater at the Mozarteum University will once again devote itself to Benjamin Britten's abysmal music-theatrical oeuvre. This winter semester, two of his masterpieces will be performed: Albert Herring in December 2022 will be followed by The Turn of the Screw in January 2023.
From gathering atmospheric images to analyzing characters. From conception to craft: a conversation with set designer Yea Eun Hong about the process of designing the stage for Benjamin Britten's comic opera "Albert Herring".
Personal ambition, egomania and sexuality as an instrument of power: Claudio Monteverdi's (1567-1643) "L'incoronazione di Poppea" is as topical as ever, even 380 years after it was written. A conversation with Gernot Sahler, the musical director of the opera production.
In two open workshop phases, students from the Department of Scenography and teachers from the Mozarteum University met with employees of the Red Bull Media House to examine and explore sounds in a minor key by W. A. Mozart and the fascinating visual worlds of the Red Bull Media House film and image archive.
In collaboration with the artist and curator Oliver Ressler, Magdalena Hofer, a student at the University Mozarteum Salzburg, has developed an exhibition design for "Overground Resistance" at frei_raum Q21 in Vienna's MuseumsQuartier that opens up spaces.
You know who nobody wants to work with right now? With white old men. We've stepped out of comfort zones, questioned images of masculinity and dissected vulnerabilities, owned wide leather chairs, discussed talk shows, speech share, mansplaining, manspreading and clichés in them. And ... how do white old men actually smell? A collage-like scenic work about the attempt at a dialogue - Master's project from the Applied Theatre degree course.
