A performance on the way of the
world, based on Bach’s cantatas.
He is known as one of the world’s leading operatic directors in recent decades. In 2016 the
Bergen International Festival presents the world
premiere of his latest production.
Peter Konwitschny has brought three of Bach’s
fabulous cantatas to life on the stage, telling the
story of a woman in three different stages of life.
Youthful joie de vivre is gradually displaced by
breakup, disappointment and loneliness. The
final cantata finds her in a retirement home
where the residents seem to have been deported from everyday society.
There are great expectations of this co-production by the Bergen International Festival,
Theater Chur (Switzerland) and Teater Trier
(Germany). Peter Konwitschny’s performances
consistently surprise, delight and provoke. With
the Swiss early music ensemble Le Phénix on
historical instruments and singers headed by
Norwegian soprano Christel Elizabeth Smith,
the stage is set for a truly great experience.
