Next time they revive the McVicar Faust I think they should make one little addition to the props.

DIE ERMITTLUNG - Plakat und Trailer

Regisseur RP Kahl hat das Theaterstück "Die Ermittlung" von Peter Weiss mit 60 Schauspieler:innen für die Kinoleinwand inszeniert. Der heute veröffentlichte Trailer gibt einen ersten Einblick in das künstlerisch radikale Projekt, das Kino, Theater und neueste Broadcast-Techniken verbindet, um einen eindringlichen und zeitgemäßen Beitrag zur Erinnerungskultur zu leisten.

Im Zentrum des Films stehen ein Richter, ein Verteidiger und ein Ankläger, die im Rahmen der Verhandlung auf 28 Zeug:innen treffen, die von ihren Erlebnissen und Beobachtungen in Auschwitz berichten. Weitere 11 Zeug:innen der ehemaligen Lagerverwaltung sagen vor Gericht aus. Die 18 Angeklagten werden im Prozess mit Beschreibungen der Zeug:innen konfrontiert und sollen Stellung beziehen.

Das Theaterstück wurde 1965 uraufgeführt und hat bis heute nichts von seinem Schrecken verloren: Es basiert auf persönlichen Aufzeichnungen, Zeitungsartikeln und Protokollen des ersten Frankfurter Auschwitz-Prozesses (1963 bis 1965). In unmissverständlich klarer Sprache von Peter Weiss zu einem lyrischen Klagegesang verdichtet und montiert, konfrontiert das Stück Täter und Opfer und lässt das Grauen in Auschwitz spürbar werden.

Nach einer intensiven, vierwöchigen Probenzeit haben 60 Schauspieler:innen den Text von Peter Weiss für die Kinoleinwand zum Leben erweckt. An insgesamt fünf Drehtagen wurden die einzelnen Gesänge im Studio Berlin Adlershof mit einem ausgefeilten visuellen Konzept in nur einer Einstellung gedreht - eingefangen von insgesamt acht Kameras.

In den Hauptrollen sind Rainer Bock als Richter, Clemens Schick als Ankläger und Bernhard Schütz als Verteidiger zu sehen. Hochkarätig besetzt sind auch alle anderen Rollen, so werden die Zeug:innen von Andreas Anke, Filipp Avdeev, Elisabeth Duda, Marc Fischer, Arno Frisch, Attila Georg Borlan, Dorka Gryllus, Marek Harloff, André Hennicke, Marcel Hensema, Rony Herman, Marco Hofschneider, Robert Hunger-Bühler, Rene Ifrah, Eva Maria Jost, Christian Kaiser, Klaudiusz Kaufmann, Nicolette Krebitz, Andreas Lechner, Peter Lohmeyer, Jiri Madl, Karl Markovics, Thomas Meinhardt, Robert Mika, Axel Moustache, Dirk Ossig, Axel Pape, Christiane Paul, Barbara Philipp, Andreas Pietschmann, Ralph Schicha, Peter Schneider, Andreas Schröders, Axel Sichrovsky, André Szymanski, Sabine Timoteo, Tom Wlaschiha, Mark Zak und Matthias Zera verkörpert. In der Rolle der Angeklagten standen Thomas Dehler, Nico Ehrenteit, Wilfried Hochholdinger, Christian Hockenbrink, Timo Jacobs, Ronald Kukulies, Lasse Myhr, Christian Pfeil, Torsten Ranft, Michael Rotschopf, Frank Röth, Matthias Salamon, Niels Bruno Schmidt, Tristan Seith, Michael Schenk, Arndt Schwering-Sohnrey, Adam Venhaus, Till Wonka vor den Kameras.

Opera videos that are 10/10 to me

Some recordings I've seen that I personally think are perfect and amazing, listed for your convenience, in chronological order. I have posted about most of these before and probably will again.

Händel, Giulio Cesare in Egitto (1724), Glyndebourne 2005

The opera: It's Julius Caesar in Egypt. Someone loses his head, Cleopatra seduces a guy, her brother is king but not very good at it. This opera is 4 hours long and a lot of stuff happens.

The video: Beautiful choreographies, strange meditations on British colonialism and gender, great costumes too. Lots of stage blood.

Notable singers: Danielle De Niese, Christophe Dumaux

Official link: Glyndebourne Encore, there's also a low res version on medici.tv, there's also a 2013 revival on Met on Demand.

Mozart, Don Giovanni (1787), Festival Aix-en-Provence 2017

The opera: The bad man gets punished. It's Don Juan.

The video: A minimalist, "Brechtian" production. The acting is excellent, the costumes and gestures are very effective, everyone involved is super hot. The camerawork is the best I've seen.

Notable singers: Nahuel di Pierro, Isabel Leonard

Official link: medici.tv, it used to be on Youtube but alas.

Rossini, Le Comte Ory (1828), Metropolitan Opera 2011

The opera: It's a fun farce about a youth who tries to seduce a countess and ends up in a threesome. Peak Rossini.

The video: A very Disney-esque production with simple sets and fairytale costumes, excellent acting, wonderful all around.

Notable singers: Juan Diego Florez, Diana Damrau, Michele Pertusi, Stephane Degout, Joyce DiDonato (yes, all of them)

Official link: Met Opera on Demand

Gounod, Faust (1859), Metropolitan Opera 2011

The opera: A very simplified version of Goethe's tragedy Faust, a scholar makes a deal with the devil, seduces a girl, then regrets it.

The video: Instead of a 16th century devil, the seducer here is 20th century science. Basically Faust is a scientist who works for the military, his work haunts him and kills everyone he loves. The video itself is serviceable, I just really like the concept.

Notable singers: Jonas Kaufmann, Rene Pape

Official link: Met Opera on Demand

Verdi, Don Carlos (1867), Paris 1996

The opera: Based on Schiller's tragedy Don Carlos, it's about a crown prince who is very bad at his job and in love triangles with literally every other character. Heart-rendingly sad. I love it.

The video: This is pure eye candy, everything is unbelievably aesthetic and well shot, the gestures are fantastic, there's a lot of stage blood at one point. Mildly 90s camp but in a good way.

Notable singers: Thomas Hampson, Roberto Alagna, Waltraud Meier

Official link: medici.tv

* Mostly based on whether I think the opera and production and video (and audio) are good. Very much my personal taste; I'm not an expert. I'm linking to official (paid) ways to watch them, all of them can also be found on the internet in various places, but the subtitle situation might be dire. Enjoy responsibly.

2.Lacrimosa- Kalafina- Muns first anime obsession was Kuroshitsuji ,and she's loved anime ever since

3. Reborn- Colin Stetson - really want to write a drabble about ROO first possessing Adam to this, perfect eerie, otherworldly vibes

4. We're Not Gonna Take It- Twisted Sister - Mun's parents brought her up on classic rock, it's one of the reasons I wanted to RP Adam, I too think "hell's music" is awesome.

I love listening to bass arias. As a high bass, there is near zero representation of my voice type in music. Most singers are high tenors or baritones at lowest and the small handful of basses making their rounds are basso profundos, which is amazing, but a little lower than my range and tessitura.

I cannot tell you how it makes me feel to hear voices like Rene Pape or Thomas Quasthoff, to hear timbres of notes and projection that usually mean the notes are outside of my range and yet, when I sing along, I find them comfortably in my tessitura.

It's a beautiful thing and I wish there was more bass representation outside of opera, a couple country or soul singers, and the basso profundos of YouTube and acapella groups

1.1. Què és el dibuix? 

Francis D. K. Ching; dibuix és el «procés o tècnica que es posa en pràctica per a representar alguna cosa —un objecte, un entorn, una idea— traçant línies sobre una superfície» (Ching, 1998/2010, pàg. 1 ). És important recalcar que a més de referir-se a objectes o entorns, Ching puntualitza que el dibuix serveix per a representar idees (Ching, 1998/2010, pàg. 1-2), entre les quals es podrien incloure moltes coses rellevants per al dissenyador gràfic: logotips, maquetacions, interfícies, etc. Quant als processos que operen darrere de l’acte de dibuixar, Ching argumenta que «en el fons de qualsevol dibuix hi ha un procés interactiu de visió, imaginació i representació de les imatges» (Ching, 1998/2010, pàg. 3). Segons aquest autor «la visió és el canal sensorial primari pel qual entrem en contacte amb el nostre món. […] La visió possibilita la nostra capacitat de dibuixar, mentre que el dibuix potencia la visió» (Ching, 1998/2010, pàg. 3). Respecte a la imaginació, Ching diu: La ment, en la seva activa cerca d’estructura i significat, processa, manipula i filtra la informació visual que rep l’ull. L’ull de la ment genera imatges que veiem que són, precisament, les que intentem representar en el dibuix» (Ching, 1998/2010, pàg. 3). | 4 Com a conseqüència, Ching aclareix: El dibuix no es redueix a una mera habilitat manual, sinó que comprèn el pensament visual que estimula la imaginació i, recíprocament, aquesta proporciona ímpetu per al dibuix. (Ching, 1998/2010, pàg. 3). En relació amb l’últim punt; la representació, Ching argumenta: Quan dibuixem fem marques en una superfície per a representar gràficament el que veiem davant nostre o imaginem en la ment. El dibuix és un mitjà natural d’expressió que crea un món d’imatges, independent, però paral·lel, que parla a la visió» (Ching, 1998/2010, pàg. 3). Ching conclou que «l’activitat de dibuixar no es pot separar de la visió ni de la reflexió sobre el que es representa», atès que per a ell «la destresa del dibuix ha d’anar lligat a un coneixement del que ens esforcem a representar gràficament» (Ching, 1998/2010, pàg. 3)…

Watched this production with @skeleton-richard over the weekend and am still kind of processing my mixed feelings about it. Like, I didn't hate it! I'm glad I watched it and there were a lot of things I liked, some things that were very confusing, and, okay, one particular thing I genuinely hated. This clip from the prologue is actually a pretty good illustration of some of that (not the hate part): there are some really cool staging choices located within a broader conceptual choice that I don't really get.

Like, I think we absolutely should get to see heaven at the beginning--the stage director of this production seems to have felt that you just can't show heaven, only hell. But it doesn't actually matter if it's perfectly splendid visually because the music is doing the work for you. (The finale of this very production is an absolutely stunning example of that principle!) But that glimpse of the sublime I think is a really important illustration of the stakes, and it also enhances the sheer cuntiness of "Ave Signor" to have Mephistopheles just casually nipping upstairs to chat with the Old Man.

On the other hand I absolutely cannot resist having Faust getting manhandled and so from that perspective I am of course all over this staging. Also, Meph turning the camera on the orchestra audience is pretty great.

Musically, of course, the production is pretty much flawless and if there were an audio recording I would buy it and listen to it all the time.

#mefistofele #mephistopheles monday #hot faust summer #i also thought both rene pape and joseph calleja gave fantastic individual performances #that didn't quite get the chance to click with one another #because i think there was too much reliance on the demon groupies to carry out meph's manipulations #and that's a shame because they were both so good #Youtube
