Jacques Offenbach; Walter Felsenstein: Ritter Blaubart

Felsenstein's Ritter Blaubart is accompanied by the music of French composer Jaques Offenbach and was performed to great critical acclaim in Paris in 1866. Opera reviewer Oscar Bie delightfully remarked: How the music flourishes in soil like this. How the tragedy laughs, and how seriously the comedy takes itself. [.] This is not opera, nor is it comedy, and only on occasions is it parody. No, this is something much more sublime altogether: it is that wonderfully shimmering realm, full of truth about life, which borders grand fates and all-conquering humour."
