Rehearsal start for "Richard III."
The rehearsals for our last production of the 2023/24 season, Richard III., started at the Kammeroper on 22 April.
Stage Director Kateryna Sokolova focuses her production on Richard’s talent for deception: three performers – a singer (Christoph Filler), an actor (Sören Kneidl) and a dancer (Fabian Tobias Huster) – portray the many facets of the power-hungry king. Shakespeare’s play and the music of English composer Henry Purcell form the basis of this musical theatre production which Kateryna Sokolova has developed in collaboration with the conductor Benjamin Bayl.
Martina Neubauer (role: Mother) and Antoine Amariu (role: Bass) are taking part in the production as part of the CAMPUS co-operation with the Music and Arts Private University of the City of Vienna.
We are looking forward to the premiere on 3 June at 7 pm at the Kammeroper! The introductory matinee to the play will take place on 26 May at 11 am. Further information about the production can be found here.
