Manfred

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
As a young man, Schumann had got to know Byrons works through his fathers publishing business. There is no question that the composer recognised his own psyche in Manfreds rugged soul. But he also responded to the challenge of Byrons artistic concept of Manfred as mental theatre. In the Düsseldorf production, the audience becomes Manfred, experiencing through the eyes of the eponymous hero a projection of the visually alienated world of the Swiss mountains in which the story is set visualisation by the Austrian media artist Johannes Deutsch.

REVIEW
The visual impact is truly spectacular and combines with the words and music to create a unifi ed whole. With his youthful, honest diction, Johann von Bülow is an impressive Manfred. --Das Opernglas
