Conductor - Gianluigi Gelmetti Production - Adrian Marthaler Stage design - Jörg Zielinski, Adrian Marthaler Costumes - Marcel Keller Lighting design - Elfried Roller Choir master - Ernst Raffelsberger Orchestra - Orchestra of the Zurich Opera Choir - Choir of the Zurich Opera Gioachino Rossini's last work for the stage is at the same time the climax of his examination of the French operatic tradition and reveals a conception of musical theater that clearly goes beyond what is traditionally available. The tendency towards well-composed drama is unmistakable, as Giuseppe Verdi and Richard Wagner then continued in different ways. Gianluigi Gelmetti stands for the new production of Rossini's «Guillaume Tell» for the first time at the podium of our orchestra, as well as director Adrian Marthaler for the first time at our house. The view of the Swiss hero of freedom, whose historical reality still gives rise to discussion, filtered through the glasses of different nations, is extremely exciting and can also provide information about how we deal with myths. With Michele Pertusi, Eva Mei, Antonino Siragusa and Alfred Muff in the main roles, vocal glamor is guaranteed.
