Georgian soprano Sophie Gordeladze has been slaying it, as Violetta Valéry, in her hometown of Tbilisi. Her upcoming performances singing Gabriele’s part in Othmar Schoeck’s “Schloss Dürande” concern a work that caused some controversy back in the day, but the cleaned-up version of the libretto (by the Berne Academy of Arts) has ensured that Schoeck’s great music survives.
This cleaned-up version is the same one Ms. Gordeladze sang last year in Berne and that she recorded on Compact Disc; the upcoming Meiningen production, directed by Ansgar Haag and conducted by Philippe Bach, is the first scenic performance of the revised opera.
