The Bavarian Theater Academy August Everding in Munich has dared to undertake an extraordinary project: the performance of Franz Schubert’s unfinished work “Lazarus” in a modern interpretation. Schubert’s original work, which remained unfinished in 1820, deals with the biblical story of the raising of Lazarus by Jesus. The challenge of representing the resurrection musically was obviously too much for Schubert, as was the case for many composers of the last 200 years.
The new production combines Schubert’s fragment with a modern text by American author Richard France that examines the fate of Barabbas, a criminal released by Pontius Pilate. This comparison opens up new perspectives on the themes of guilt, redemption and fame. The music by Alexander Strauch complements the production with contemporary sounds that form an exciting contrast to Schubert’s classical music.
The performance took place in the impressive atrium of a former thermal power plant in the Munich district of Aubing, which is now known as the Bergson Art Power Plant. This spectacular backdrop, reminiscent of Gothic cathedrals, enhanced the effect of the production. Director Martina Veh created impressive images that transported the audience into a meditation on life and death. In particular, the “resurrection rave” in clouds of fog and the symbolic autopsy of Lazarus left a lasting impression.
The young singers and actors from the theater academy impressed with their passionate acting and dedication. The musical direction of Joachim Tschiedel contributed significantly to the success of the performance. Overall, the production was a successful venture that explored the boundaries between classical and modern music in a fascinating way and stimulated the audience to think.
