Hans Pfitzner’s «Palestrina» at the Vienna State Opera in a revival of a production by Herbert Wernicke from 1999, with Christian Thielemann as the musical director. On December 5th, 8th, 12th and 15th.
The central theme in Pfitzner’s «Palestrina» is the mystery of artistic inspiration. Pfitzner sees the prerequisite for this as the anchoring of the creative person in his own inner world, which stands in sharp contrast to the hustle and bustle of external reality. Against the backdrop of the Council of Trent, the legend of the Renaissance composer Palestrina is told. In a creative ecstasy, he creates the masterpiece in one night with which he saves an entire musical tradition from extinction. (Source: Vienna State Opera)
