German photographer and is a veteran on the worlds conflicts. Most recent work looking up effects of Climate Change in subsaharan africa. And we pay a visit to the sun not one landing in the land gallery isnt a list address for highly original contemporary design. 6 months after theaters concert halls office and cinemas were shut down ad hoc by the coronavirus pandemic there are hopeful signs that culture will prevail opera houses in vienna and here in berlin have held their season premieres and for berlins deutsche meant an extraordinary performance for extraordinary times. The joy kicks off the new season not with grand opera but with the groundbreaking simp project which director mary eve seen your whole interweaves beethovens 7th symphony with less much changed jazz music dances and live video she would like the experiences of female refugees on the way to europe. Its a fiction. But at the same time its really kind of documentary fiction the contemporary individual fates of refugees as representative of the nightmare faced by tens of thousands the story of from senegal who survived the dangerous crossing of the mediterranean sea. She faces insecurity fear hunger and physical violence the dancers transform the traumatic ordeal into a breathtaking choreography. Its denser because a scene thats the bodies of these women its treating as an object saw i wanted because they are it both ways buddy to to see many things and. I think its a mountain persecution but at the same times of physical persecution. For me was the best way to show. Baby talk was originally meant to debut in the french city of metz but the current virus pandemic put the project on hold the premiere of the doctor on pack involves major restrictions only 450. 00 of around 2000 seats can be occupied audience members must be one metre 50 apart and the 90 minute show has no break so that therefore i can remain empty fortunately in this piece the orchestra is on stage. This is. Beginning were not going to lose that now applying the distancing were always each string player has to have their own music stand i think that would not have been possible in the orchestra pit but it is possible on our large stage acoustically it takes some getting used to because there further apart but it works because we have walls at the back so the sound is reflected into the auditorium but its a constellation weve never had before to to coronavirus. Corner beating to. Baby door makes effective use of limited possibilities hard hitting music and theater production with a deeply humanitarian message. And Adrian Kennedy was at that performance last night at the deicer open your 1st night back at the opera adrian how was it while it was a very special occasion for performers and audience alike it felt a little bit exclusively for an occupied seats left and right very strange really the orchestra and performance got a special. Beginning before it even started the show successfully juxtapose. In 7th with this intense. Tinge music from the young quartets and that worked remarkably well with this brilliantly acted and danced refugee story at the end got big applause from the relatively small audience all audience that was a starting to the season but not an opera per se and yet they want to go ahead with a brand new production of wagners ring cycle thats a pretty big deal that is a big deal and its the 1st new ring cycle from the Deutsche Welle for 34 years the famous time tunnel ring from goods friedrich premiered in 1800 forms last performed in 20 something a new ring is a once in a generation challenge for any opera house and this one is being touted as a ring for the 21st century it will be directed by steph and her haim and its been on hold because of the current virus pandemic but now with about he is almost ready and could crimea as soon as september 27th ok and true to form for wagner not obviously its a marathon or problem with at least 2 breaks in a massive orchestra how is that supposed to actually work in times of corona its difficult but the story has been working together with the husband and wife team of opera loving doctors whove been provided free freak ovitz testing every morning when they get the green light rehearsals go ahead at noon this process will now be applied to the musicians who will have to be in the pits because its a big orchestra for wagner and the latest news is that in berlin the distance between audience members may be reduced to one metre the minimum distance just in time for the premiere so thats good news too but as i say we have to wait and see nothing is certain ok so the vacuum is actually the 2nd opera. In the ring cycle what happened to the anger that was actually supposed to have premiered in june we should get see that next year story short for actually did porn the production of rheingold but this was a special minimalistic rowing gold 990 production for 22 musicians and was performed in the open on top of the opera house car park ok so obviously door to open just itching to get back to performing opera thanks very much for bringing us that story and well look forward to the vancouver thanks very much a.
