Mr Schulz, your current season’s motto is “fearless”. If you are hosting now, but for the first Time, not a press conference, the upcoming season, then you could almost come to the idea, at the Staatsoper Mr a “climate of fear”, such as the Barenboim-critics claim that cal actually.
For me it is not important that the current debate is superimposed on the presentation of the program. And you can see on the basis of our game plan that the house is going on as usual. If there’s a bad atmosphere would exist, none of this would be possible.
As long as I can remember, Daniel Barenboim missed any game time presentation. If he would’ve wanted now for a media appointment, he would get him, or?
We wanted to try something different, to be able to use the program in the center. Social Media, for example, is becoming more and more important, also in the field of Opera, and you don’t need on-the-spot appointment. If someone has the need to speak directly with me, then I’m ready for it. That’s why we’re here now.
so It wasn’t that Barenboim said: I’m not this time?
no. We wanted to really try with a new Form.
you but it is already clear that there is a public interest, to talk over the Causa Barenboim?
it is clear to me. For a house that has had so many employees working together on a program, it is now important to draw the eye to the artistic.
It solidifies the impression that the orchestra Board and you want to sit by and wait for the thing to end.
We said after the first public Statements in a press release, what you need to say it for us in the connection. It is important for me, the work atmosphere at home positive develop. And I will gladly get involved, regardless of the current Situation, in a discussion about desirable leadership structures in arts and Cultural institutions.
Why not the orchestra Board and says: We have internally voted and an overwhelming majority has voted for Barenboim’s contract extension?
In his Statement has told the orchestra, it is looking forward to many more years of cooperation…
…but forgot the extra “about 2022”.
Now insert the words but on the gold scale! You are the first who brings me to the fact that the formulation could include a room for interpretation in relation to the extension of the contract. I didn’t read that so and so is not it also.
An unmistakable vote of the state the chapel for Barenboim would culture Senator Klaus Lederer, who will decide on the extension of the contract, under pressure to act.
We have a musical Director, to thank the house very much, shows that he demands the New, the unconventional Repertoire, conducts the young singers, conductors and Directors, promotes your. The talks about the future prospects of the house are held with all the parties Involved. And we go to the very left.
Could it be, perhaps, that it is Willi Hilgers, leader of the Barenboim-critic to a team? The orchestra Board made a statement to the “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung”, Hilgers have been called in and later asked whether there is a place at the Staatsoper, to which he could apply.
It seems so, as he had asked once again for a job. But today I want to look with you really on the program from 2019/20.
Okay, let’s see but first time on the current game plan. You have just brought three world premieres in succession. Due respect, this shows how important it is to take the contemporary music theatre. You now have a hole in the cash register?
It was important to me to put in my first season as a character. Especially in the case of Furrer’s “Violet snow” I would have never expected that the audience goes along way. We have not had many viewers, the otherwise. Also the “heaven-earth” ran extremely well, “Babylon” was in a constant state of order. That is a work of the 21st century. Century has well over 1000 visitors per night, is not really, of course. This has me motivated for more!
Daniel Barenboim launches a new Da Ponte cycle, he conducts twice the “Ring of the Nibelung”, in addition, a new production of Wagner’s tetralogy is from the fall 2022 already planned. Would it not be more interesting that Barenboim would make pieces for the head thing, he has not yet interpreted the house?
Daniel Barenboim’s “The merry wives of Windsor” and “Samson et Dalila”. But as for Mozart, I think, which is also Central to the Opera. In the coming season, we will bring two Mozart operas, newly out, in the Baroque days in 2020 there will also be one of his early works. Also on Barenboim’s request, we have committed with Vincent Huguet, a young French Director, one of the last wizard of Patrice Chéreau. We have to know him well, as he who has made us re-recording of Chéreaus “Elektra”. And as for the “Ring of the Nibelung”: As we have brought the two series, which will take place in September, a month ago in the sale, were sold for all shows within 40 minutes!
Georg Quander, from 1992 to 2001, Director of the state Opera, said in an Interview with the daily mirror about Barenboim: “De facto, it looked like, that I’ve talked to him exclusively on his own productions. After that, everything else came on, and I had full freedom. He has taken the time basically only if it was available in print“. You Experience Something Similar?
no, not at all. We’re talking the very first second openly about everything and we can not tell each other if we keep an idea of the other useful. At the same time, Mr. Barenboim know that I have to set as the new artistic Director of their own accents. I think, for example, of the Baroque days, I have been introduced to the new and the were right the first Time hugely successful. I feel him in any way limited.
