Tiefland

Synopsis

One of the most successful European operas of the first half of the 20th century, D’Albert’s Tiefland has had a long history and this minimalist new staging by Matthias Hartmann and Franz Welser-Möst gives it a welcome revival. Matthias Goerne’s portrayal of Sebastiano’s brings out the essence of evilness. Peter Seifert and Petra Schnitzer – husband and wife in real life – as Pedro and Marta are simply splendid in their roles, both in their singing and their acting. László Polgár is excellent as Tommaso.
