The Matinee is a kind of preparation for the premiere. We learn here background information, by stage, on the work of the Music Director to the ideas of the director. In addition to the audience the performer will be presented. A first impression is to stimulate even at the ticket office. A smart move such a matinee and an experience in itself. The Musical Director Michael Brandstätter presented very nice for a number of exotic instruments, Hans Kudlich presented a model of the stage (plane wreck human skeleton hits - "all a bit grisly") Magali Gerberon said a few costumes and Matthias David chatted about his work as a director for Miss Saigon (which he had already 2003 in St. Gallen on stage). Heiko Cullmann introduced into the piece and interviewed. In between the main actor Song examples with piano accompaniment.
Kun Jing who has completed her studies at the Vienna Conservatory in 2010, plays Kim - Miss Saigon. It looks a bit pale "I would give my life for her you," was but perhaps also to the excitement. Also Carsten Lepper , which will be in the Klagenfurt " Chris " seemed rather unimpressive and performed "My God, why?" good, but not really convincing. I was initially disappointed with the two main roles to see so clear, but somehow it did not really. Quite unlike the other three main characters - Daniel Eriksson (The Engineer), David B. Whitley (John) and Wietske van Tongeren (Ellen).
Eriksson I was not a concept that today he was the first actor to life on stage has. He grabbed his microphone was in the role and engaging, and has performed greasy, as required by the role. A positive surprise. With his energy he brought humor and you could even without costumes, scenery and action, only by its Performance immediately into the story of the song (" Well, who does not die like in bed ") into place.
David B. Whitley performed with amplification of the ensembles with Mr. " Bui-Doi" . An emotionally intense song, the Whitley has breathed life and soul. He has a wonderful voice and even though it lacks his German pronunciation a bit, here it fits - after all he plays an American.
Also great Wietske van Tongeren as Ellen, Chris's wife. They also brought a lot of energy and excitement on stage. She sang full of feeling ("I came and saw ") and told her story was in the role. The closure was "sun and moon " - Chris and Kim here thawed a bit, so all were able to convince the two but still not ...
Thus, a matinee something fine and I do not at the premiere can be there and I still do not exactly know when I'll be back to Klagenfurt, it was the best way a first impression of this production to get. I'm interested to see whether Lepper and Jing in the play find their way better. But to take it anyway. My first impression of the production was very good and I'm curious how it will end - but not so much has been revealed ...
For operetta friends in you currently underway Millöckers "The Beggar Student" directed by Emmy Werner in Klagenfurt City Theatre . Daniel Prohaska is shown in the title role and sings and plays the soul from the body. A wonderful part for him and a successful performance. Also in the ensemble include Frank Berg, Stefan Bischoff and Florian Claus . Despite some serious amendments to the piece, however, new life, it's a wonderful, lively production with great actors and great humor. Especially a "Quodlibet" sung by "Colonel Ollendorf" with current texts on causality and Hypo Wörtherseebühne.
