Operetta in three acts / Sung in German
World premiere recordings of Johann Strauss's stage works are rare occurences. Arthaus is delighted ot present a lavishly presented version of Simplicius, never before heard or seen on DVD.
The British director David Pountney lets the entertaining tale unfold accompanied by the many spectacular effects for which he has become internationally famous. Monumental props are embellished with skilled, clean-cut directing work, seasoned with a healthy portion of black humour. In the final scene the audience sees a dramatic gallows dangling from which numerous corpses, all turning in time to the music of a waltz.
Strauss himself loved this work. It was the last of his stage works for which he conducted the premiere performance. He described it as "generally speaking a much more cheerful work than Der Zigeunerbaron."
Strauss's felicitous orchestration, langurous melodies, and endless inventiveness ensure over two hours of pleasure for all who invest in this unique piece of theatre.

Humperdinck‘s opera is steeped in the guileless world of folk-song: the children‘s songs and dances, the idyllic forest scenes, the supernatural material and the central thematic chorale are all rooted in German traditional music.
Frank Corsaro’s production for Zurich Opera was designed by Maurice Sendak. They have worked together on numerous highly-acclaimed opera stagings, all noted for their striking visual impact. Sendak is renowned world-wide for his classic children’s books. His vivid, magical and often disturbing imagery is perfect for the fairy-tale world of Hänsel und Gretel. He expands the Witch’s gingerbread cottage into an entire farmyard of sweetmeats, complete with windmill. The house has a life of its own, with menacing, glowing eyes, which also dominate the stage during the ‘Witch’s Ride’ interlude.
This production of Humperdinck’s endearing and musically adroit opera will entrance adults and children alike.

When Lulu was premiered in Zurich in 1937, it immediately created a scandal. Even though the sexually explicit topic and the somewhat dubious characters of the drama barely cause a stir in the modern theatre world, stagings of the opera are still accompanied by divided opinion as to how to interpret the figure of Lulu and – since the advent of Friedrich Cerha’s completion – which version of the originally unfinished work to use.
Arthaus presents a staging produced at the Zurich Opera, which offered an unusual and remarkable solution: it returned to the incomplete two-act version seen at the premiere. The finale consists of the Variations and the Adagio from the Lulu Suite, which conclude the work as a kind of coda. Musical Director Franz Welser-Möst felt that the unfinished state of the work was not merely due to the composer’s deathin 1935, but also because Berg himself seems to have changed his concept of the opera. It seems that Berg’s final ideas, including the appearance of Lulu’s suitor as the reincarnation of her previous husbands in the third act and the equation of Dr. Schön with Jack the Ripper, fit Sven Eric Bechtolf‘s interpretation of the title figure extremely well. Opera performance and bonus film together provide the viewer of this DVD with an enlightened approach to one of the few post-tonal operas that enjoy ongoing success on stage.

Die Stille als Schlüssel unserer Welt: Ein leidenschaftliches Plädoyer des weltbekannten Dirigenten für genaueres Zuhören, Konzentration und Ruhe in einer sich immer schneller drehenden Zeit.
Bei einem schweren Autounfall erlebte Franz Welser-Möst als Jugendlicher den Klang der Ewigkeit: ein Zustand, den er seither in der Musik sucht. In den zum Teil sehr persönlich gehaltenen Reflexionen anlässlich seines 60. Geburtstags nimmt uns Franz Welser-Möst mit auf eine Reise durch sein Leben in der Musik, angefangen von seiner Jugend in Oberösterreich über seine Begegnungen mit Herbert von Karajan bis hin zu seinen Engagements in London, Zürich, an der Wiener Staatsoper und beim weltberühmten Cleveland Orchestra. Machtspiele hinter den Kulissen und Gedanken über den modernen Markt der Musik bleiben nicht ausgespart. Vor allem aber erzählt der Dirigent von der Bedeutung des Sich-immer-wieder-Neuerfindens und künstlerischer Inspiration, von Musik als Impuls für Bildung und soziale Fragen und als Hilfe, unsere chaotische Welt zu ordnen.
Franz Welser-Mösts Dirigentenleben ist eine Inspiration: Horchen wir besser auf unsere Welt, um sie zu verstehen und mit Leidenschaft zu beleben.

Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute) is one of the most well-known and most staged operas in the world. Especially the appearance of the Queen of the Night is said to be one of the most stunning coloratura arias in opera history. Piotr Beczala, acclaimed all over the world for the clarity of his light-lyric tenor, is Tamino. Matti Salminen, one of the most magnetic and sought-after bass singers in the world, offers solemnity and grace as Sarastro. Supported by a distinguished cast (Anton Scharinger as Papageno, Malin Hartelius as Pamina, Julia Neumann as Papagena and Elena Moşuc as The Queen of the Nigth), this opera promises outstanding listening pleasure. In this brilliantly conceived and executed performance singers and instrumentalists often approach perfection while providing moments of subtle beauty. Under Franz Welser-Möst’s fabulous conducting this production of the Zurich Opera House is setting musical standards. This superb audio-visual recording with its beautifully lifelike sound valorizes the high artistic quality and is an example of updating an opera using imagination and skill.
