(Bryn Terfel)
Terfel, o Mago, estreia, por fim, Hans Sachs, o mais humano dos personagens da wagneriana. O acontecimento terá lugar na Welsh National Opera, neste Verão.
Tratando-se de uma nova produção, o Guardian consagra-lhe um longo artigo, cujo final destaco, por encerrar uma questão tão óbvia, quanto redundante...
«A production of Meistersinger, in other words, has to be Wagnerian. It has to learn the message that is at the heart of the piece. Wagner's Nuremberg is a society trapped in the belief that ritual and art are subject to rules that cannot be broken. It has amnesia, as Jones puts it, about the fact that newness can be dynamic.
But the art of the new is to break with the old while respecting it – and that's also the art of mounting a memorable Meistersinger. Wagner's opera ought to be up there with the Marriage of Figaro, Falstaff and Der Rosenkavalier as one of the great, wise and beautifully constructed comic operas. If it was by anybody else, it would be embraced as the marvel that it is.»
Keep it in mind!
