Fun pics last night from the German opera, Die Tote Stadt. It was billed as, "Before Hitchcock filmed Vertigo, Korngold created Die tote Stadt, the tale of one man’s dark obsession with the woman he loved and lost." The production used state-of-the-art projections along with elaborate staging.
It was an excellent production with a healthy dose of creepy, in an entertaining way of course! Die Tote Stadt or Dead City is the story of sad man who has built a shrine to his dead wife.
One day he sees a lady who looks like his dead wife. The lead fantasizes a relationship with the lady as she evolves into his wife and he eventually kills her! But it is all in his mind.
It was a great performance the music was amazing!
“Thus says the Lord God: On that day,
thoughts will come into your mind,
and you will devise an evil scheme.
thoughts will come into your mind,
and you will devise an evil scheme.
Ezekiel 38:10
