IMZ INTERNAL NEWSFILM FESTIVAL AT WIENER RATHAUSPLATZ 2011

From 2 July – 4 September 2011, more than 520.000 visitors enjoyed the famous

free open-air Film Festival in front of Vienna´s City Hall in Austria.

More than 40 different productions were featured on the 65 festival

evenings, offering a fine selection of music films, including highlights from the fields

of classical music, jazz and world music, as well as a special homage to the art of

Gustav Mahler and Franz Liszt.

All in all, a splendorous celebration of tradition and the contemporary, of opera,

operetta, classical and modern dance, for regulars, youngsters, lovers, experts, sceptics

and novices… The absolute highlights of the festival were the live transmissions of

Beethoven’s Fidelio from the Bavarian State Opera, Munich (with Jonas Kaufmann as

Florestan and Anja Kampe as Leonore) and Verdi’s Simone Boccanegra from the Vienna

State Opera starring Placido Domingo, whose 70th birthday and 50th anniversary of

his stage debut this year provided the perfect occasion for a marvellous Domingo

Special featuring several opera film treasures from the archives. Appearing at the

Rathausplatz after the performance in the Vienna State Opera and singing Wien, Wien

nur Du allein… he topped even the highest expectations of the Viennese Domingo

fans!

SAN FRANCISCO SYMPHONY

Keeping Score: Mahler DVD Wins

German Record Critics’ Annual Award

Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco

Symphony’s DVD Keeping Score: Mahler –

Origins and Legacy has been awarded the most

prestigious German recording award, Preis der

deutschen Schallplattenkritik , in the

Concerts and Documentaries category. The winning

DVD includes a two-hour documentary on

composer Gustav Mahler, hosted by Tilson Thomas,

San Francisco Symphony Music Director, and two SF

Symphony concert performance programmes:

Mahler’s Symphony No. 1, and A Mahler Journey,

tracing the origins and influences of his music in a

variety of orchestral and vocal works.

“The most recent release in this highly acclaimed series

is devoted to Gustav Mahler, in commemoration of the

100th anniversary of his death,” said Lothar Prox,

Chairman of the German Record Critics' Award

Association, on behalf of the jury. “Like the seven

previous releases, it is the result of the initiative of the

San Francisco Symphony and its superb conductor,

Michael Tilson Thomas. We know of no other major

educational project in the arts since Lenny Bernstein's

legendary television programs with the New York

Philharmonic that has achieved comparable success. The

California team explains and interprets the heritage of

classical music within the framework of a nationwide

mission through multimedia channels – television, radio,

Internet, and various educational programmes for

students and teachers. Their enthusiasm for the project

is convincing and is also apparent in the praiseworthy

portrait of Gustav Mahler, which examines the origins

and legacy of the composer's works during nearly four

hours of film sequences and concert performances.”

The documentaries were shot on location in the

Czech Republic, Austria, and New York, and concert

footage shot was at Davies Symphony Hall in San

Francisco.

Pina To Compete For The Oscar 1

Germany enters the ZDF coproduction Pina by Wim Wenders for

competition for the Foreign Oscar®. The jury, assigned by German

Films, judges the film as a cinematic complete work of art. The film is

seen as conveying a “sensual experience of dance”, being an “excellent

portrait of an important German artist”.

Wim Wenders had started the extraordinary film project, recorded

with 3D technology, while Pina Bausch, the great choreographer and

director of Tanztheater Wuppertal was still alive.

In the middle of preparing the film her sudden death was announced.

The dancers and Wim Wenders decided to finish the film nevertheless

– with a unique result.

The film was premiered this year during Berlinale festival. In

The newest countries to sign on for Live in HD transmissions include Russia, Israel, China, Cyprus, the Dominican Republic, Morocco, Slovenia, and the territory of St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The sixth season of live transmissions begins 15 October with the Met premiere production of Donizetti’s Anna Bolena, featuring Anna Netrebko in the title role. She stars in the first transmission to be shown in her native country, joined by Russian colleagues Ekaterina Gubanova as Jane Seymour and Ildar Abdrazakov as Enrico (Henry VIII).

IMZ MEMBER NEWSCLASART CLASSICS

Dove è amore è gelosia:Historical Reconstruction At The Baroque Theatre Of The Castle Český Krumlov

In coproduction with BVA, NHK and Czech Television, Clasart Classics has just recorded the Baroque opera Dove è amore è gelosia at the castle of the UNESCO world heritage site Český Krumlov. In this reconstruction of a historical opera performance, one can admire the completely preserved theatre stocks such as machinery, costumes and props. In addition, the theatre also boasts a rich library, in which the scores by Giuseppe Scarlatti were found.

Prince Joseph Adam of Schwarzenberg, the Duke of Krumlov, commissioned Scarlatti in 1768 to compose this opera buffa. The first performance, given at the Baroque theatre, was conducted by Scarlatti himself.

Thanks to the surviving documents and objects, it was possible to reconstruct this unique event: Wearing wigs and dressed in original costumes, conductor Vojtěch Spurný and his Schwarzenberg Court Orchestra delicately express the charm and elegance of Scarlatti’s music, while the quartet of outstanding soloists infuse their waggish characters with bright humour.

The opera (approx. 90 min), directed by Ondřej Havelka, was taped in high-definition during live performances presented in September 2011 and is paired with a 52-minute documentary that gives additional information about the history of the site, the theatre and the opera including rehearsal segments.

From 9 – 13 November 2011, the Mercat de les

version of a "modul-dance festival" featuring

Perrine Valli (CH), Kaori Ito (GER) and Fearghus

O´Conchuir (IE). This format will be worked out

together with further European partners, thus in

2012 the first round of modul-dance festivals will

be taking place at various venues throughout

Europe…

What is it about? Modul-dance is a multi-annual

cooperation project funded by the European

Commission through the Culture Programme.

Supported by the European Dancehouse

Network and based on a collaboration between

22 European dance houses and media institutions

from 15 countries, modul-dance is aiming at

creating the optimum production conditions for

artists, dancers and choreographers throughout

Europe in order to facilitate their mobility and

promote the dissemination of their work.

Every participating artist has the possibility of

going through 4 module phases, i.e. research,

residency, production and presentation of the

works. A pre-modular programme (carte blanche)

is offered to promising young artists to complete

a short residency at one project partner's dance

house. In parallel to this modular process,

additional artistic programmes are being

organised, such as conferences, artists' think

tanks, film screenings, roadshow activities and

festivals.

Modul-dance runs from June 2010 to December

2014.
