Honorary membership for Bertrand de Billy: High award from the State Opera!

State Opera Director Bogdan Rošcic emphasized in his laudation that de Billy played a formative role in the State Opera in almost 30 years. In the ceremonial presentation of the certificate by Christian Kircher, the managing director of the Bundestheater-Holding, de Billy also received a ring of honor to honor his services. The conductor was touched and said: "A comparable house, comparable employees in all areas - this can only be found here", and announced his return with "Werther" in the coming game season, as the Vienna State Opera reported on your website.
A look at the plot of "Billy Budd"
In parallel to this solemn recognition, the State Opera will soon show a new production of "Billy Budd", an opera that addresses the life and fate of the young sailor Billy. This exciting story, in which Billy is manipulated by other faceless characters, illuminates the deep human conflicts. The newcomer, a frightened character, is instrumentalized by Claggart, the antagonist, to lure Billy into a trap. This dark manga plot, which revolves around power and seduction, is reinforced by Benjamin Britten's emotional music and offers music lovers an exciting touch of drama. With the performance of "Billy Budd", the Vienna State Opera has the chance to reinterpret this timeless story and to present the audience again, which the opera has to offer.| Details | |
