Giuseppe Verdi

/ 2019 / Le Club, Bregenzer Festspiele

Aerialist Grace Turner offers her silks connect in immersive opera performance 'Drive-by Verdi' at the Bregenzer Festspiele, directed by Steven Anthony Whiting

 

Four Verdi canzone - Lo Spazzacamin, Ad una Stella, Deh, Pietoso oh Addolorata Brindisi no. 6 - emerging organically out of the crowd at Le Club, after hours at the Bregenzer Festspiele.

Verdi gives a new voice to flirtatious bartender, a bored woman, and a lonely party girl, whose deepest fears and desires, transform the nightclub into a theatrical theme-park, where everyday elements - the bar, catering wagons, menu-screens and tabletops - are given a new poetic life. 

Immersive, witty, moving and surprising, Drive-by Verdi brought operatic transcendence into the nightclub experience.
