About

Staged by: Peter Stein

Fie rrabras of 1823 is the last of Franz Schubert’s stage works. Rarely performed to this day, this heroic-romantic opera has now been staged for the first time ever at the Salzburg Festival by famous director Peter Stein. The strong cast includes the “marvellously expressive miracle Dorothea Röschmann” (Die Zeit) and “Michael Schade, who exudes his exceptional tenor in Fierrabras’s heroic arias” (Der neue Merker). Under the energetic baton of lngo Metzmacher, the Vienna Philharmonic unfold “the melos, the poetry, the sweetness and the dramatic force of Schubert’s highly refined and atmospheric sound worlds” (Kleine Zeitung) in highly romantic fashion. Bonus: The Making of Fierrabras.

September 2015

This is an almost perfect performance, both vocally and in its staging and acting…Charlemagne is taken by the young and magnificent bass-baritone Georg Zeppenfeld, and Fierrabras himself, son of the Moorish prince, by Michael Slade. They both deservedly get huge applause, but Dorothea Röschmann gets even more…if this doesn't put Fierrebras securely on the map, nothing can.

September 2015

Peter Stein's Salzburg Festival production mercifully eschews a modern - and potentially inflammatory - Western-Islamic Konzept and sets Fierrabras more or less in its historical period...All four [main] roles are convincingly taken, with the palm going to Julia Kleiter's Emma, alluringly voiced and phrased, and soaring without shrillness into the stratosphere.

September 2015

...the Vienna Philharmonic supplying focused playing under Ingo Metzmacher, and several worthwhile principal performances, especially from Georg Zeppenfeld’s firm Karl, Michael Schade’s engaged Fierrabras, Benjamin Bernheim’s efficient Eginhard, Dorothea Röschmann’s passionate Florinda, Julia Kleiter’s conflicted Emma and Markus Werba’s emphatic Roland.
