Now in his sixth season as Festival Director, Johannes Wildner<\/strong><\/a> remains true to his concept for the Oper Burg Gars festival<\/a> and is showing Beethoven\u2019s \u201cFidelio\u201d.
\nThis is a choice of not just a musical masterpiece from the hand of a true genius but also of a deep-diving discussion of the Enlightenment\u2019s and the French Revolution\u2019s ideals\u2014a discussion that puts to us, today, the question which of the tasks left to us we, our society, have managed to complete \u2026 and which ones still await, undone, ignored, silently reproaching us.<\/p>\n

The staging of this, Beethoven\u2019s only, opera is in Stephan Bruckmeier\u2019s hands; Johannes Wildner has undertaken the musical direction. Bettina Jensen<\/strong><\/a>, the German soprano that Gars still remembers as Agathe in \u201cDer Freisch\u00fctz\u201d, debuts in the role of Leonore.<\/p>\n

For those who find themselves closer to Salzburg than to Gars: The Beethoven-plus-Festival in Bad Aussee has invited the ensemble to perform their \u201cFidelio\u201d as an opera-in-concert on July 29th.<\/p>\n
